A Pharmacist spends most of his or her day counting and dispensing medications in a little room at the local drug store. While this may have been true at various times and to various extents over the last hundred years, the duties of today's pharmacist are decidedly more complex. The Role has altered more towards knowledge of the product, and interaction with the patient — so more focus on treatment rather than just the dispensing and the preparation of the product. "The role manifests itself is with more patient contact and more patient counseling, greater involvement in disease state management, greater involvement in assisting patients with managing their disease states and serving a greater information source role for the patient." Advances in pharmaceuticals have also played a part.
