Pharmacy
Pharmacists are moving from dispensing to clinical advice, and several destinations list them as a shortage.
How AI changes this work
No study gives pharmacy-specific figures yet. Routine dispensing and checking are the tasks most likely to be automated; clinical pharmacy and patient counselling are not.
The jobs stay, but the tasks change a lot. Graduates who use AI well and bring human judgement win.
