A humble and
compassionate person:
The field of health demands a person to be compassionate for
the people. Being a pharmacist you are responsible for making the people
comfortable and helping them out. Understanding everything that they have to
share is very important. To be a good pharmacist you must have a passion to
help other people in need.
Good Communication
skills:
In order to understand your patients and provide them with
the best quality instructions, you need to have good communication skills.
There is no use of your knowledge if you are not able to make people understand
what they need to do. If you are a pharmacist or planning to become one, this
is the area you should definitely work on.
Strong personal
morals and ethics:
It is very important for a pharmacist to be ethical. You
need to understand the laws and regulations of the area that you are working
in. Understanding the needs of a patient and still not being supportive of
potential drug abusers is a mandatory trait of a good pharmacist. Make sure that
you do not indulge in any illegal activity including the purchase or sale of
substandard medicines. Ethics will be the biggest support for you to be
successful in this field.
A pharmacist should be very attentive and understand every
detail of the problem. Even minor things can make a big difference in this
field, the more vigilant you are the more success you’ll get.
Very patient and
tolerant:
At times it becomes very difficult to deal with patients
because of a number of reasons. They might ask a lot of question, might have a
bad temper or anything of that sort. A pharmacist should be patient and
tolerant of the people he is dealing with. This is very important not only for
a pharmacist but also for every other health care professional.
