Army Pharmacists are an integral part of the Army Health Care Team; they certainly do more than just handle prescriptions. Ambulatory care, inpatient drug distribution systems, nuclear pharmacy, oncology pharmacy, drug monitoring and patient education services and nutrition support are just a few of the pharmacy practice activities you might be involved in. You could be assigned to a community hospital, an Army Medical Center, a troop medical clinic or a field environment either in the United States or overseas.
To qualify for an appointment as a Pharmacist in the Army Medical Service Corps, you must:
- Be a graduate of a school of pharmacy acceptable to the Surgeon General
- Be licensed to practice pharmacy in the United States
