hospital pharmacist
Clinical drug specialist
A hospital pharmacist is a pharmacist who works in a hospital setting rather than a retail pharmacy.
Hospital pharmacists prepare and dispense medications for inpatients, review drug interactions, advise medical staff on dosing and side effects, and often compound specialized preparations like IV solutions.
They work more closely with physicians and nurses than their retail counterparts: The hospital pharmacist caught a potentially dangerous drug interaction before the medication was administered.
