RX for Success: Exploring a Pharmacy Career
Summary:
Imagine a world where there are no pharmacists to fill prescriptions or catch medication errors in emergency rooms. This could become a reality without training 150,000 new pharmacists by 2020.Article:
Have you ever considered what might happen if there were no pharmacists at your local drugstore or no experts to spot medication errors in hospitals? This scenario could become real if the U.S. doesn't produce 150,000 more pharmacists by 2020.
The U.S. Department of Labor reports that annually, 7,000 to 10,000 pharmacist positions remain vacant. For pharmacy graduates, this translates into diverse career options and the promise of multiple job offers. With an average annual salary of $77,050, pharmacists can choose careers in various settings, from research labs to poison control centers and veterinary clinics.
To inspire students towards careers in pharmacy, health, and science, Roche, in partnership with the Parenteral Drug Association Foundation for Pharmaceutical Sciences Inc. and WLIW New York public television, has developed a free teacher’s guide. According to Vivian L. Beetle, Roche's director of corporate relations, "Encouraging students interested in health and science is crucial for bridging the pharmacist shortage gap. Teachers play a vital role in guiding students toward this career path."
This guide helps teachers identify and engage students with a passion for science, showcasing career opportunities in pharmacy. It features profiles of students who have chosen pharmacy, a list of relevant colleges and professional organizations, and a self-assessment tool for students.
If you're considering whether a pharmacy career might suit your children or students, ask them these questions:
- Are they skilled at math?
- Do they have an interest in science, particularly biology and chemistry?
- Are they detail-oriented and focused?
- Do they care about making a positive impact on society?
- Would they like a career offering opportunities nationwide?
Exploring these questions can help determine if a rewarding career in pharmacy might be the right path.
