Hello there,
Lead statement:
Community pharmacists and hospital pharmacists compound and dispense prescribed pharmaceuticals and provide consultative services to both clients and health care providers. They are employed in retail and health centre pharmacies, or they may be self-employed. Industrial pharmacists participate in the research, development, promotion and manufacture of pharmaceutical products. They are employed in pharmaceutical companies and government departments and agencies.
Duties:
• Pursuant to his profession license as a Pharmacist, he evaluates prescription drugs, over-the-
counter drugs, and dispenses them accordingly to customers;
• Assist management in the supervision of the inventory, replenishment, monitoring, ordering and
delivery of pharmacy products and other store items;

Administration of Department Health, and other government agencies;
• Assist other branches with above functions, and such other functions that management may

My concern is how closely should the duties and responsibilities match? Would somebody be kind enough to check if the employment letter provided by the company I worked in matches the duties and responsibilities outlined in the NOC for pharmacists? Thanks very much.
