    This project addresses all of whom interested and may be planning to study pharmacy, or already studying pharmacy. We will take you through all obligatory courses in pharmacy school and tell you why we study them and what they are about. This booklet will give you a clue what a pre-pharmacist needs to know, study and get trained on before being a pharmacist who works in the healthcare who might save lives, heal wounded and choosing the most appropriate drug for each patient's case. Choosing wrong drug whether by a pharmacist or a doctor may cause patient's poisoning and death, and that would turn both of pharmacist and doctors from saviours to murderers.

    HIPPA Privacy Law and Patients’ Bill of Rights are supposed to protect an individual privacy when it comes to their medical information. These laws were created and put into place to establish patient confidentiality and not have patients’ information disclosed without prior consent. In 1998, Dawn Castellano, a pharmacy technician who worked for Arbor Drugs in Mount Clemens, Michigan, violated a patient’s confidentiality by disclosing information to her son regarding one of her customers. The pharmacy technician was filling a prescription for AIDS medication and discovers the customer was a parent of her son classmates. The technician informed her child of the customer condition and later her son taunted his classmates about their father disease. The customer children had no prior knowledge of the disease.…
