Pharmacy (PharmD)

My Major Lifespan

until AI starts shrinking hiring of this major’s graduates
Sep 24, 2034 · 2920 days left

Central-fill centers and pharmacy technicians have already taken over dispensing, and AI now assists with prescription review. But state boards of pharmacy require a pharmacist on site and cap technician-to-pharmacist ratios, so chain pharmacies cut new pharmacist hiring only once remote verification is allowed, around the mid-2030s.

Major lifespan is the time left until AI is expected to start shrinking hiring of this major’s graduates. It doesn’t mean the major will disappear or that everyone will lose their job.
