A pharmacist (or a druggist) is a licensed professional who works in a [[pharmacy]] where their responsibilities include: reviewing the prescription, preparing the drug, patient-counseling and various administrative duties.
The qualifications to become a pharmacist can vary between different countries. For example, in [[Canada]], a Bachelor of Pharmacy degree is the minimum requirement of becoming a pharmacist. There is the option to study for an additional two years to get a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree, but it is not a requirement.<ref>http://www.pharmacists.ca/content/about_cpha/about_pharmacy_in_can/how_to_become/index.cfm</ref> Conversely, a PharmD degree is a requirement for aspiring pharmacists in the [[United States]].<ref>http://www.uspharmd.com/</ref>
