In the next 10 years do you think new technology will cause pharmacies to lay off employees either technicians or pharmacists?

i doubt this is a "random question" but rather one of your essay questions from your secondaries and you are using SDN to help you answer it.

a robot can never replace the judgment of a human.

BUT, the auto factories are using robot arms to make cars. So, maybe in the future, the robots can make chemo drugs in the laminar hood, which will affect the hospital jobs....

a small defect in making cars doesn't kill people as easily as a defect in making drugs. robots can speed up work but in the health field there always has to be a human to check the work for the safety of the patient. do you konw how many people die each year due to drug error alone?

The issue of automation reducing the demand for pharmacist was really more of an issue in the early-mid 90's, they predicted the demand for pharmacists would decline but instead it over doubled in just a few years, I guess my answer then would be NO, I don't think its much of an issue today.
