Complementary and Alternative Pharmacy

[pharm3LW]

Hello, I am currently a pre-pharmacy student, and I recently discovered my interest in pharmacy and complementary and alternative medicine. I read that one could specialize in botanical supplements, and then pursue a
pharmacy practitioner career in retail or research, and I was
wondering what you know and think about this kind of pharmacy.Thanks for your assistance!
