How it's used
Professional titles in Hong Kong often follow the pattern of adding 師 to indicate a specialized expert. While many people visit a pharmacy for minor ailments, the role of a 藥劑師 is distinct from a doctor because they focus on the chemical properties and interactions of medications rather than performing physical examinations.
