Hospital / community pharmacy

The pathSkills

This is the most patient-facing work, and usually the closest to home. You dispense medicines and advise patients in a hospital or a community/retail pharmacy. Later, you can specialise in clinical work. Pay is modest, the day-to-day impact is high, and you rarely need to move cities.

The steps in this path

Common questions

Yes. You need a B.Pharm and state pharmacist registration. After that you can work in a hospital or a retail pharmacy, or open your own. It is one of the easiest paths to start, and usually the closest to home.
