The Future of Pharmacy

With innovations such as lab tests administered at the pharmacy and the use of drones or vending machines to deliver medications emerging, the future of pharmacy can stir feelings of both excitement and fear. Pharmacy students will have to adapt to an ever-changing environment and may need to develop new skills, especially with the growing use and relevancy of technology in the pharmacy world.
