Become a Pharmacist

Being a pharmacist means a lifetime of learning to keep pace with new medications.

University study leads to a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy or similar degree. Pharmacists must also write national board exams, do an internship under a licensed pharmacist and meet provincial requirements.

Most pharmacists are pleased to discuss their career and provide helpful advice. Talk to one in your area. You will find them in retail pharmacies and hospitals.
