POSITION DESCRIPTION

A veterinary pharmacist is an animal health professional with a doctoral degree and advanced training related to the use of pharmaceutical products. The duties may vary depending on the specific nature of their employment (i.e. whether they work in academia, for a corporation, for a veterinary related business, or for a regulatory agency).

Veterinary pharmacists may be involved with dispensing medications that have been prescribed by a veterinarian, providing consultations on dosage and side effects, providing compounding services, ensuring that all regulatory directives are properly followed, taking inventory, and supervising pharmacy technicians or other support staff members. Those working in academic settings may be involved with teaching classes for veterinary students. Those working in regulatory roles may be involved with testing, research, education, and enforcement.

Veterinary pharmacists must be well versed in proper safety protocols and disposal methods when working with hazardous drugs or compounding materials. They must also be extremely detail oriented, making sure that all labels are accurate with regard to contents and dosage. Work is generally conducted in an office or lab setting.
