Pharmacists are healthcare professionals responsible for preparing and dispensing medications, advising patients about proper use, and monitoring for drug interactions. They collaborate with physicians, provide immunizations, and play a key role in patient safety and public health in pharmacies, hospitals, and clinics.
In New Jersey, pharmacists must earn a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree, complete required internship hours, pass the NAPLEX and MPJE exams, and obtain a state license. Ongoing continuing education is required for license renewal every two years.
