<p>I am in a PA program right now and we regularly have lectures from the PharmDs for our pharmacology course. They work at the teaching hospital that is affiliated with my school on the different services (cardiology, neurology, oncology, etc), basically helping to optimize medicine use and maximize patient safety. It seems pretty interesting to me - if I was a pharmacist, I would definitely want to work more on the clinical side, even though I’m sure that’s not where the money is. Pharmacology is pretty darn complicated, so I respect them a lot.</p>
<p>Not all of them just work at Walgreens and push pills (and those that do work at in a retail setting can do patient counseling, check drug interactions, and a lot more.)</p>
