07 important qualities needed in a good university pharmacist

Below are 07 important qualities needed in a good university pharmacist:

1. Meticulousness

Meticulousness - an indispensable quality of a good pharmacist because the specific work related to reading prescriptions, dispensing, recording... requires absolute accuracy. Errors related to drug use can lead to many serious consequences for the drug user.

Pharmacists must also have knowledge of drug interactions, side effects, and drugs that can aggravate co-morbidities. Being meticulous will help prevent errors and ensure safety in dispensing medication.

In reality, people who are hot-tempered and impatient will find it difficult to succeed in the pharmaceutical industry. They easily make mistakes in the treatment and consultation process for patients. Therefore, those who study pharmacy must first cultivate and train themselves to be diligent, careful and calm.

In addition, in the process of research and learning to improve knowledge, pharmacists need to be patient because knowledge in the field of Medicine and Pharmacy is very broad. Therefore, to become a good pharmacist, you yourself must be patient to approach and learn information in the best way.

2. Good professional knowledge

Expertise is an extremely important factor for a pharmacist. A good pharmacist must first understand the expertise, how to combine treatment drugs, the types of drugs that interact with each patient or the ingredients of each type of modern medicine. Only then can you treat each patient in the best way.

Proficiency in Natural Sciences and Mathematics is especially important for Pharmacists. Pharmacists need a foundational knowledge of anatomy, chemistry, and physiology because they need to understand how different medications affect the body. Although Pharmacists have tools such as calculators and pill counters to assist them, they still need the ability to calculate medication dosages in different units of measurement, as well as with fractions and percentages.

4. Passionate about Pharmacy, enthusiastic and eager to learn

Being eager to learn is one of the important factors leading to success. Being eager to learn will contribute to a good result as well as accumulate a large amount of professional knowledge in your future.

While pharmacists are not required to have a thorough knowledge of every medication, they do need to be able to understand information about medications (common drug interactions, drug allergies, side effects, and drug nomenclature). Pharmacists may also need to remember the needs of customers who frequently purchase medications. Knowing which medications are prescribed for different conditions can help prevent errors.

6. Good communication and consulting skills

Good communication with patients and their families is another essential part of being a pharmacist. People often consult pharmacists when they are stressed and feeling unwell and can share personal information with pharmacists.

Pharmacists also need to be able to communicate effectively with customers or patients and discuss sensitive issues without making them feel uncomfortable.
