A Scientist: 
The training in pharmacy is of importance because it is at the crossroads of various scientific fields, allowing your pharmacist to meet the requirement for a real multidisciplinary proficiency. The Ph.D. "state" diploma is granted after a 6-year university training, supported by the presentation of a thesis.
Your local pharmacist is a scientist who has to know the definition, characteristics, and environment of the 3,000 active molecules of our present pharmacopoeia, along with 4,500 drug specialties and 8,500 presentations. Each year, he has to update his knowledge, as a function of the release of new drugs and specialties. Permanently facing scientific progress and the changes of his profession, your pharmacist owes himself to carry on a continuous and flawless training ensuring the increased quality of each of the pharmaceutical acts he has to accomplish.
However, the initial and continuous training of your pharmacist make him a true expert in Public Health.
Responsible for public health:
Your pharmacist and the delivery of drugs:
A medicine will cure, help fight or prevent disease, it contributes to increase life span, but it may also constitute a dangerous material. Its delivery requires the caution and expertise of your pharmacist, the only reliable accountant certifying a correct consignment of the drug.
Your pharmacist and his commitment to sanitary safety:
Your pharmacist is responsible for each and every prescription from your M.D.; he has to verify them. He his the last ring of the medicine chain, protecting the patients from misusing the prescribed drugs. All local pharmacists, networking the whole country, do have a prominent role in terms of public health care: they are dispatching centers located in between the citizens and the state agencies in charge of public health and sanitary survey. They release valuable information on specialties potentially hazardous to the public and set up the relevant responses. The quality and security brought to you by your local pharmacist justify the monopoly he benefits in terms of preparation and delivery of the drugs.
Other missions of your pharmacist:
Your pharmacist is also a pedagogue. He explains the correct use of the medicines, favors the " observance " of the prescription, informs the public and knows how to reassure the patient when this latter one is anxious about the prescription or destabilized by a serious health problem. He also acts as a counselor when solicited for an advice on a limited and temporary health troubled, or in terms of hygiene and medication.
He knows how to redirect the patient to other health care professionals: family MDs, hospitals, nurses, physiologists, etc.
Your local pharmacists is a indeed a truthful professional in the field of public health.
Regulating the costs associated with Public Health:
Your local pharmacist is also a relay and an actor in social practices:
New constraints are now modifying the balance of our health system:
- economical constraints, e.g. the need for a limitation of the expenditure with no limitation of the freedom of exercising health-related professions;
- social constraints, which calls for more information of the patient, who became an " health consumer ", in a social context rendered weaker through the crisis and its consequence in terms of health care of the most exposed populations.
In front of public health collective challenge, the strength of the French pharmaceutical system is to root its cohesion in the very notion of individual responsibility of your local pharmacist.
The drugstore:
The 22,000 local drugstores in France (average: one for 2,500 inhabitants) constitute a remarkable proximity network, more solid than that of the post office. This broad structure encompassing the national territory allows the pharmacists to ensure an emergency service 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, and warrants a true continuation of the pharmaceutical service and health care.
Your local drugstore is a convergence space and a meeting place:
Each year, over one billion people walk into a drugstore. Your local pharmacist executes his mission with full consideration for life and Human Beings.
Amongst his duties, some deal with or have social implications, such as the essential preservation of his freedom, of his professional expertise, the impossible alienation of his independence, the professional secret self imposed to him and his collaborators, his commitment to assist all person requesting his help, his obligation of rescuing all endangered person and the help he brings to the authorities in all actions undertaken to promote and protect public health..
The pharmacist is also an entrepreneur:
Some 50,000 pharmacists (supervisor or assistant) do work in drugstores. This field generates almost 120,000 highly qualified jobs..
Be in rural area, downtown or in remote suburban zones, your pharmacist has moral and social responsibilities heighten by the trust granted by the citizens.
This goes beyond the legal and strict responsibility which is his also.
