With patient access to physicians getting costlier and more scarce, pharmacists are stepping into the role of caregiver.
They spend less time filling prescriptions (now largely delegated to assistants) and more time on the front lines: teaching diabetic patients how to inject insulin, helping hypertension patients manage their blood pressure, dispensing advice on which over-the-counter medication to use.
One of a pharmacist's most important jobs is ensuring that patients can safely take multiple drugs together-interactions can be deadly.
