ELL/ESL: Talking about jobs in English: Pharmacist
Practice choosing the right word when speaking in English about what a pharmacist does

In order to become a licensed pharmacist, one has to graduate from a college of
(pharmaceuticals/pharmacy) and pass a series of examinations. Some of a pharmacist's duties include
(filling/taking) prescriptions for customers and
(advising/averting) customers on which medicine to
(swallow/take). Pharmacists are health
(professionals/masters), and they can let you know about any possible
(side/second)-effects associated with a particular
(medication/medical) ( = medicine). What are some other things that you can ask your pharmacist? You can ask whether or not a particular
(prescription/dosage) ( = amount of medicine) is too high, whether or not it's safe to take something in
(combination/together) with other medicines, and whether or not there is a cheaper (alternative/alternate) to your prescribed medicine.
