Pharmacists Can Play a Unique Role in Clinical Research

In a recent interview with Pharmacy Times, research pharmacist Brian Wortz, PharmD, with Cancer Treatment Centers of America, said working as a pharmacist in clinical research provides interesting opportunities to be at the forefront of drug development.

As a research pharmacist, Wortz said he works to ensure the safety of patients participating in clinical trials. Not only is this important work, he said, but he added that the various trials and treatment areas certainly keep the job from getting boring.
