Pharmacist profession

Among many specialties, the profession of a pharmacist is rightfully considered one of the most attractive, promising and in-demand professions. The growth of the world's population, the increase in life expectancy, and the increase in the well-being of people result in the fact that the annual health care costs are growing rapidly. A large portion of these costs are spent on drugs that are invented, researched, manufactured and sold by pharmacists.

The origin of the term “pharmacy” refers to antiquity. The Egyptian word “farmaki” means "granting healing or security", i.e. pharmacists help people to be healthy! Therefore, high demands are placed on the profession of a pharmacist. Accuracy, attentiveness, composure and high self-control, philanthropy, excellent memory, ability to bear responsibility, make decisions, think logically, honesty, humanity, calmness - this is how a pharmacist should be! He needs knowledge in chemistry, biology, physiology, pharmacology, drug technology, pharmacognosy, pharmaceutical chemistry. Although the work of a pharmacist is aimed at the benefit of people and society, but it also has a commercial component, it is necessary to know the basic principles of organizing pharmaceutical activities, the basics of economic knowledge, sales and marketing. Also, a pharmacist must be able to work with the team and visitors of pharmacies, so he needs knowledge of medical ethics and psychology.

Faculty graduates can work in pharmaceutical companies for the wholesale and retail sale of medicines and medical devices, at pharmaceutical production enterprises, government agencies, control and testing laboratories, be heads of pharmacies, etc.
