Coursework generally combines laboratory-based science with practical training in dispensing medication, counseling patients, and understanding drug interactions and dosing. The discipline also covers pharmacy law and ethics, along with the role pharmacists play within the broader healthcare system as a point of contact between physicians and patients.
