Pharmacists are essential healthcare professionals who make a difference at every stage of a patient’s health journey. As medication experts and trusted members of the healthcare team, pharmacists help patients use medications safely and effectively, prevent and manage disease, and achieve better health outcomes. From neighborhood pharmacies to hospitals, clinics, research labs, and communities around the world, pharmacists are often among the most accessible healthcare professionals, and for many patients, the first place they turn when they need care. Discover the many ways pharmacists are transforming healthcare and improving lives. Learn more from the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy.
