There are over 250,000 pharmacists practicing in the United States. They work in a tremendous variety of practice settings, including retail pharmacies, nursing homes, the armed forces, and the pharmaceutical industry. About one quarter of pharmacists work in hospitals. Hospital pharmacist jobs generally fall into one of two categories: pharmacists in management roles and staff pharmacists. Hospital pharmacist jobs in management include the Director of Pharmacy, assistant directors, pharmacy coordinators, and often, drug information pharmacists. Many of these positions require a pharmacy degree plus a master’s degree and/or pharmacy residency. Pharmacy management jobs in hospitals also usually require several years of experience in hospital pharmacy practice. This ensures that the pharmacy managers understand the details of hospital drug distribution systems.
