Pharmacy
Salaries
are of great interest world wide. Salaries
are most dependent on
location, job description, training,
and experience of each pharmacist. Studies show
the need for pharmacists
and pharmacy
technicians will continue to raise for a minimum
of 5
years.
Studies indicate that hospital, independent, and chain
store employment growth will
occur slowly.
However, admissions and graduates in pharmacy
have been decreasing
over recent years. It
appears that long-term, ambulatory, and home care
settings will
show the greatest employment growth. New
opportunities are also arising in managed
care
organizations and, for those employed in research,
disease management.
We
welcome your observations and concerns about healthcare
in your community.
Allied
Physicians offers a short, confidential questionnaire
to help provide
accurate salary information to pharmacy staff
throughout the world.
