So the pharmacist's job will likely separate into two pieces:
Machine work:
-scanning data
-summarizing
-identifying signals
Human work:
-deciding
-approving
-verifying
-communicating

AI will likely automate:
-drug interaction checks
-dosing calculators
-guideline retrieval
-chart summarization
-medication history extraction
But it cannot completely automate:
-accountability
-risk judgment
-clinical interpretation
-edge cases
-physician communication

…of the hill you started on.
The problem?
Some hills are small.
A lot of pharmacists are waking up to that reality.
The question isn’t just:
“What’s my next promotion?”
It’s:
“Is this the hill I want to spend the next 20–30 years climbing?”
English
Pharmacists are really good at climbing
Undergrad → pharmacy school → residency → clinical → manager → director
Every step is “up”
But make sure you're not climbing the wrong hill
If you keep taking the step that moves you upward, you’ll eventually reach the top…

💭 Decision making– do you lean on logical analysis (thinking, T) or personal values and people’s feelings (feeling, F)?
🟩 Organization- do you prefer structure and planning (judging, J) or flexibility and spontaneity (perceiving, P)?
English
🔋 Energy- are you energized by time alone (introversion, I) or by social interaction (extraversion, E)?
ℹ️ Information processing- do you focus on facts and details (sensing, S) or look at patterns and possibilities (intuition, N)?

I wonder if the upcoming closures at Walgreens forecast broader consolidation across the retail pharmacy landscape…
your fellow pharmacist@fellowpharma
Does anybody know more about the upcoming Walgreens pharmacy closures? 25% of locations, over 3 years. Will the pharmacists who are eventually let go be from those unprofitable stores? Or will employees be rearranged within districts, so that other RPh’s could be impacted?

Wow, have retail RPH wages fallen this much? This + inflation = big loss of purchasing power @RPHcompensation From a recent JAPhA article: "Despair and hope: Is the retail community pharmacy workforce in danger of becoming a monopsony labor market?"
