LTC Pharmacist Resume
A LTC or long-term care pharmacy provides medications and other non-medical products to patients of assisted living, nursing homes, residential care, and adult foster homes. Pharmacists working with such pharmacies check and refill prescriptions. They are not in direct contact with patients and know nothing about them. The work environment is more like a factory setting than a traditional pharmacy. If you prefer a clinical job to retail, you can apply to a long-term care pharmacy.
