- tyingq 7y agoPhysician assistant might be the next best thing in that space, also 6 years, and a pretty high median salary.
- meesles 7y agoNot to undervalue a pharmacist's other functions, but you don't really need AI... you just need a bot to pull orders off a shelf and file online insurance forms.

- exclusiv 7y agoI'm thinking more for smart insight into possible drug interactions. Since they may not know all the drugs you are on. My parents had doctors that both prescribed things and neither we're aware of it. So if you just pull orders you are doing the bulk of the busy work but not fully replacing the pharmacist.
- Merrill 7y agoWith approaches like Amazon's PillPack and CVS Multidose, it's not clear why either AI or a pharmacist is needed. Pharmacist jobs at a drugstore, grocery store, Walmart, Costco are probably not the road to riches. Managing the pharmacy at a major hospital with lots of specialized meds is probably a good gig.
