Pharmacy
Salaries
are of great
interest world wide.
Salaries
are most dependent
on
location, job
description,
training, and
experience of each
pharmacist.
Studies show
the need for pharmacists
and pharmacy
technicians will
continue to raise
for a minimum
of 5
years.
Studies indicate
that hospital,
independent, and
chain store
employment growth
will
occur slowly.
However, admissions
and graduates in pharmacy
have been decreasing
over recent years.
It appears that
long-term,
ambulatory, and home
care settings will
show the greatest
employment growth.
New opportunities
are also arising in
managed
care organizations
and, for those
employed in
research, disease
management.
We welcome your
observations and
concerns about
healthcare in your
community.
Allied
Physicians offers a
short, confidential questionnaire
to help provide
accurate salary
information to
pharmacy staff
throughout the
world.
