Career Preparation The practice of pharmacy is an important part of total health care. Pharmacists dispense drugs and medicines. They also must understand the use, composition and effect of drugs and how they are tested for purity and strength. An understanding of general and organic chemistry is an essential part of being a good pharmacist. Pharmacists also must maintain patient medication profiles and advise physicians on the proper selection and use of medicines. A pharmacist must also do compounding. Compounding is the actual mixing of ingredients to form powders, tablets, capsules, ointments and solutions. A pharmacist employed in a community pharmacy also may have other duties, such as buying and selling non-pharmaceutical merchandise, hiring and supervising personnel and overseeing the operation of the pharmacy. A pharmacist employed in a hospital or clinic dispenses inpatient and outpatient prescriptions and advises the medical staff on the selection and effects of drugs. Some people put their pharmaceutical training to other uses such as sales, teaching, research or writing. The average starting salary for a pharmacist is up to $90,000. Employers advertise in trade and daily papers and advise pharmacy schools of vacancies. Academic Program Missouri State offers the courses necessary for admission into the second and/or third year classes at the Schools of Pharmacy. The Pharmacy degree is not offered at Missouri State. There are two pharmacy schools in Missouri. The University of Missouri- Kansas City School of Pharmacy, 5005 Rockhill Road, Kansas City, Missouri, 64110, 816-235-1613, http://pharmacy.umkc.edu.

Career PreparationThe practice of pharmacy is an important part
of total health care. Pharmacists dispense drugs and medicines. They also must understand the use, composition and effect of drugs and how they are tested for purity and strength. An understanding of general and organic chemistry is an essential part of being a good pharmacist.
