Kids are often asked a question that what do you wish to become when you grow up!
And the most common answer would be “I would like to become a doctor or an engineer.” Unusually, you would hear a little child saying that he wants to be a pharmacist.
Pharmacy wasn’t my first choice that I dreamed about as a kid; but lately, I’m grateful to have made the best decision by choosing this field.
Like doctors, pharmacists also save lives by offering appropriate medication.
Like engineers, pharmacists are innovators and provide the state-of-the-art medical breakthrough.
