Which skill is NOT listed as a core skill of a pharmacist?

  1. Empathy

  2. Communication

  3. Problem solving

  4. Professionalism

The correct answer is: Empathy

Empathy is not listed as a core skill of a pharmacist because while it is an important skill to possess, it is not a skill that is directly related to the technical and clinical aspects of the job. Pharmacists must be able to effectively communicate with patients and other healthcare professionals, solve complex problems related to medications and treatments, and maintain a high level of professionalism in all interactions. While empathy can certainly enhance a pharmacist's ability to provide quality care, it is not considered a core skill for the job. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect as they all describe essential skills for a pharmacist.
