Good day Everyone, I would really appreciate if someone could kindly explain in great detail what the difference is between a career in pharmacology and a career in pharmacy . And I don't just mean salary wise, what can one do that the other absolutely can't, how are they both viewed in the workplace... and lots more. Initially, I thought that they were both the more or less on the same level but I've heard lots of things about the former being a less "noble" path and that sometimes they end up as Pharmacy Assistants. I'm hoping to get more of a real life perspective, because searching online has managed to confuse me even more. Thank you in anticipation.?

I'm a college student hoping to be able to see things clearly as they are in the real world.

Hi,
I'm gonna make this short based on experience. I'm a Pharmacist so I can work in any retail or clinical setting. My niece went to school and got her Ph.D in pharmacology. She is considered a Scientist and thus works in a laboratory. That's all I have. Hope it helps.
Thank you comment icon Yes, that has cleared a few things up. Thank you for your insight ma/sir. What I understand from your response Is that they are 2 distinctly separate paths that simply sound similar and don't actually intermingle? Is that correct? ORE

Well lets just say she could not work where i work because that is not what her field of study entailed. I could have done research if i had went that path and did a residency in that field of study.

You can work in different settings doing a residency in that study as a pharmacist.
