    A Pharmacy graduate typically dispenses medications and counsels patients in a retail or hospital pharmacy environment. 

    A clinical pharmacist, however, is working closely with doctors on optimally collating medication therapy in hospital or clinical settings. 

    A pharmaceutical chemist is more laboratory based, engaged in the formulation testing and development of drugs.

    All three professionals are engaged in a unique role in the pharma ecosystem, however there are significant differences in role based on context, qualifications and specialisation.
