What's the difference between a pharmaceutical scientist and a pharmacist?

A pharmaceutical scientist is an expert in the science related to the discovery and development of drugs; how drugs are created, how they work, how safe and effective pharmaceuticals are taken to market, their impact on the body and their effect on the treatment of disease.

A pharmacist dispenses drugs, provides advice and manages a patients medication requirements.

The Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science qualifies graduates to work in the pharmaceutical science field. If you want to be a pharmacist, you must complete a Bachelor of Pharmacy.
