Humans of Healthcare: The Pharmacist

If asked to picture what a pharmacist does, most of us probably imagine someone dispensing medications. But that’s only a small part of what a pharmacist does. In this episode of Humans of Healthcare, pharmacist Dr Mark Cheong breaks down misconceptions about the role of pharmacists, the career opportunities after a degree in pharmacy, and how they work hand in hand with both physicians and patients.
