Community Independent

Independent community pharmacists blend traditional dispensing with personalized patient care and the flexibility to help shape services in smaller, locally owned pharmacies. They often build long-term relationships with patients and providers, offering individualized care, such as medication therapy management, vaccinations, or specialized clinical services. These roles provide autonomy, close community connections, and the opportunity to innovate in response to local health needs.

Background

An independent community pharmacy may be a single store with a sole proprietor or may consist of several stores owned by an individual or small group. Some independent pharmacy owners own multiple locations, making it seem like more of a small regional chain. Since the stores are owned by an individual or a small private group, they are considered “independent.” In practice, small chains with four or more stores may function much more like a traditional independent pharmacy rather than a chain, if that is the objective of the owner(s).

Changes can be implemented quickly and pharmacists in independent community pharmacy can offer specialty services or fill a niche in the community. Yet, with opportunity come demands—particularly on time. In addition to clinical and traditional pharmacy services, independent pharmacists typically get involved to a greater extent in merchandising, marketing, and other general management functions.

Staff pharmacists in independent community pharmacies often report directly to the owner(s). This can create unique challenges and opportunities. Building and maintaining relationships with patients in the community is an important responsibility of pharmacists in independent community pharmacies, one that is appealing to most pharmacists in this setting. These relationships are often the foundation on which the business has been built and prospered.

The roles and responsibilities of a staff pharmacist will vary in different pharmacies. A pharmacist at one independent community pharmacy may be primarily responsible for patient services while at another pharmacy the staff pharmacist may be primarily responsible for supervising technicians and other staff. A staff pharmacist in an independent community pharmacy is often in a position to bring about change and implement new services, including medication therapy management (MTM), vaccination services, durable medical supplies, and expertise in specific disease areas such as diabetes, HIV, asthma, and others. Good communication skills and an outgoing personality are valuable traits for pharmacists interested in pursuing independent community pharmacy.

A respondent from Nebraska summed this up nicely when they stated, “Work should have meaning, and relationships help give meaning to our work.”

Characteristics

A total of 55 community independent staff pharmacists responded to the 2024–2025 APhA Career Pathways Program Survey. Seven (10.8%) had additional training such as residency or fellowship. An additional 12.3% also completed an advanced degree such as MS, MBA, or MPH. Specialty areas included: management, food and nutrition, and pharmacognosy/medicinal plants.

Statistics for age of the independent community staff pharmacist were slightly older than other community groups with an average age of 49 years old. Staff pharmacists may earn between $127,000 to $135,000. The average time worked per week was 40 hours. Twenty-seven percent indicated that they travel for work. Another 47.4% indicated that they work nights and weekends.

A total of 54 community independent staff pharmacists responded directly to a question about what they felt was an important skill for their role. Those responses mentioned with the highest percentages included: communication with patients (37.0%), knowledge of medications (11.1%), and empathy (9.3%). Many other critical factors were listed by the group.

Insider’s Perspective

Respondents listed the following critical factors as being the most important to them. Please note that a factor can rank highly based on wanting the factor or wanting to avoid the factor. As an example, some may rank repetitive activities as a top factor as this is something that they want or look to avoid in their practice. The factors listed below are based on the number of respondents who indicated these would be the top five factors they would like to have in a role. Note that there are 25 total critical factors from which to select.

Top 5 – First tier

Of interest is the fact that there are two factors that were rated the same across the group.

  • Leisure and family time (10.8%)
  • Repetitive versus variable work (9.2%)
  • Ongoing coworker/client relationships (7.7%)
  • Collaborating with health professionals (6.2%)
  • Community impact (6.2%)

In addition to the top five factors, the second tier of critical factors are listed below. Note that three of the factors; ongoing coworker/client relationships, collaborating with health professionals, and repetitive versus variable work are listed in both areas. This can be interpreted to mean that, for some, these factors are in their top five list while, for others, they are a close second. The list below had numerous factors with the same percentage of respondents indicating that they were a second-tier factor.

Top 5 – Second tier

  • Compensation (7.7%)
  • Ongoing coworker/client relationships (7.7%)
  • Problem solving, organizing/management/supervision of people, application of knowledge (e.g., clinical, or scientific), collaborating with health professionals, and leadership development (all 6.2%)

One respondent from Arizona commented on the factor of ongoing coworker/client relationships, “(This is) critical because sometimes you spend more time with these people than your own family.” Another respondent from New York added, “(This is) very important to the flow of a successful pharmacy.”

There are many rewarding and challenging experiences in being a staff pharmacist in an independent community setting. Fifty-five percent of the respondents indicated that patient care was a rewarding part of the role. One respondent from Idaho stated, “The most rewarding experiences are those when the patient comes back to me days later and says, ‘You were right, I'm glad I went to the ER because it was broken and that brace wouldn't have done anything’ or ‘You were right, I called my doctor and they told me that I was supposed to stop that medication but they forgot to tell me that at the appointment.’ " Another respondent from Minnesota added, “Taking care of multiple generations of a family and the gratitude shown. Getting paid for clinical skills.”

One the other side, a respondent from Georgia provided the following challenging areas, “…daily struggles with insurance, prior authorizations, high copays, formulary restrictions.” Another from Arizona supported the first statement when they added, “Insurance is the most challenging.”

Respondents were asked to select an additional factor from the full list that they consider to be the most important. The following were listed by the group: pressure/stress: 35.9%; and work schedule, and multiple-task handling both at 14.6%.

Respondents had a variety of responses that they provided as highlights of their career and where they see the future of the role. Several of the responses are listed below.

  • "Actually, helping patients and working with pharmacy students in preceptorship."
  • "Being recognized by the association for a lifetime achievement award for dedication to the profession."
  • "Very bright and a lot of change. The need for educated pharmacists who work and communicate well is huge."
  • "For me personally, I see a continuing trust that is built by patients towards me as I continue to earn their respect through compassionate understanding for their specific situation and concerns as I provide solutions, assistance, and insight into these concerns and situations."
  • "Owning three stores with 28 employees that care."

Most Appealing Aspects

What aspects of the role are most appealing?

Respondents indicated that helping people or patients was the most appealing aspect at 46.2%. This was followed by working with other professionals 15.4%. One respondent from Arizona indicated, “My interaction with patients is the most appealing in this setting because I get to know my patients and help with most of their needs.” Another from Washington added, “Working with diverse patient demographics. Also, the team I work with on a daily basis.”

Least Appealing Aspects

What aspects of the role are least appealing?

Respondents highlighted two specific areas of concern: insurance (19.2%) and customers (17.3%). One respondent from Kansas stated a challenge of, “Having to deal with insurance companies.” Another from Virginia added a least appealing aspect is, “Customers that cannot get along with anyone.” This was supported by a pharmacist from New York who indicated the “Lack of respect from patient.”

Advice

What advice should student pharmacists and practitioners consider when selecting a position in independent community pharmacy?

Respondents provided advice across several areas. There was no specific trend that was provided by the respondents. Information from several of the pharmacists is listed below:

  • "Independent community pharmacy is a rewarding career. Less stressful and great work life balance.""
  • "DREAM BIG!!! This is a great profession with tons of options outside of community and health system practices. GO FOR IT!!!"
  • "Plenty of opportunities to make a big impact on patient's health, and it's a more intimate setting.""
  • "Prepare for challenging customers but celebrate the good ones."
  • "Independent community pharmacy is a great pathway if you are people oriented/patient focused and interested in impacting patient lives in significant ways. Independent pharmacy provides a lot of flexibility for personal/family life but be aware that employee benefits, on-call needs, etc. can vary a lot according to individual business needs and structure."

Critical Factors Ratings

Opportunities for Advancement
[To what degree does your work allow for advancement?]

Respondents rated the factor mid-range with a 5.44. Opportunities do exist based on how you look at advancement—the pharmacist individual role and/or types of clinical services provided.

A respondent from Kansas provided the following information, “Opportunity for advancement depends on the person, if you are willing to expand your knowledge as you go. Obtain certificates such as medication therapy management (MTM) services, immunizations, and diabetes care. Many employers are willing to train the right person, rather than hire someone with experience that does not fit well with the team or workplace.” Another from Tennessee added, “Community pharmacists can advance to pharmacist in charge (PIC), clinical services director, co-owner, full-owner, or multi-store owner.”

Another independent staff pharmacist from Georgia stated, “Additional certifications could be sought to further advance and specialize depending on the needs of your community or pharmacy.”

Another pharmacist from Nebraska stated, “We are a community health center pharmacy serving the underserved. We have several programs to help those needing assistance.”

Another respondent from Kansas stated, “I enjoy working with the native populations to help them understand their disease states and how their lifestyle choices can affect their health.”

A respondent from California had a unique perspective when they indicated that, “Part of how you are treated is your acceptance of and expectation of said treatment. Do not be afraid to stand up for yourself, your pharmacy technicians, and your patients.”

6.66
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Creating Value / Positive Outcomes
[To what extent does your work allow for personal fulfillment through the creation of value and positive outcomes?]

Respondents were mid-range with a rating of 7.07 for this critical factor.

A respondent from California looked at this factor broadly when they stated, “Both patients and other healthcare providers show their appreciation for pharmacist input in the patient medication therapy.” A different pharmacist also from California added, “You are able to affect so many peoples’ lives through patient education.

0 = Little extent 10 = High extent

Patient Relationships
[To what degree do you have ongoing or long-term relationships with patients?]

A California staff pharmacist indicated, “Patient relationships are important from the beginning. Making a foundation for your pharmacy because they will come back and love to see you every time.”

In the event a patient once in a while fails these alternatives a discussion with their provider to determine whether another medication might be suitable will ensue.” Another from Tennessee added, “Community pharmacy is like the ‘ER,’ we are faced with some new problems each day, as well as some we have seen before.

One respondent from California stated, “As a pharmacy school graduate who specialized in asthma and geriatrics, I am quite helpful in these cases.” Another from Tennessee added a detailed response regarding the practice of independent pharmacy in this area, “It is a misconception that community pharmacy is a ‘general’ category of pharmacy practice. While drug/disease knowledge may be general, the amount of knowledge and expertise required to understand drug pricing, purchasing, business ownership, etc., is far more advanced than what I saw when practicing as an ambulatory care pharmacist in my previous role. To be successful in community, you have to be an expert.”

5.18
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
0 = Generalized 10 = Specialized

Repetition
[To what degree is your work composed of activities and tasks that are highly repetitive versus highly variable?]

Repetition is in every role that a pharmacist performs, the difference is how one looks at repetition as each patient is different and each situation is different. Overall, respondents lean toward the repetitive side of the factor with a rating of 4.38.

One respondent from Washington stated, “Dispensing is a repetitive function in itself. What makes it difficult is to add in profile review, interaction check, and appropriateness of therapy.” Another from California added, “The prescription dictates one’s duties but the taking of multiple medications may prove insightful due to patient disease states plus drug interactions.”

4.38
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
0 = Highly repetitive 10 = Highly variable

Applying Scientific Knowledge
[How much of your time is spent applying scientific knowledge in your work?]

6.44
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
0 = No application 10 = High level of application all the time

Parental Leave
[To what extent does your work setting offer parental leave opportunities?]

Many of the respondents to this factor indicated that they do not leverage parental leave which may be why the factor is rated at 4.78.

One respondent from Nebraska put it simply–they get, “Twelve weeks.”

4.78
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
0 = Limited opportunities 10 = Unlimited opportunities

Compensation
[To what degree do you feel compensated for your responsibilities in your work?]

Many respondents are concerned about the area of compensation when they rate this at 6.47. In general, the responses were around the lower reimbursements which impacted compensation.

One respondent from New York stated, “Compensation is not as great as other areas of pharmacy, but quality of work and quality of life are better.” A respondent from Missouri was blunt when they added, “Reimbursements are reducing compensation.” This was supported by another pharmacist from New Jersey, “(There is) no money left for any extra compensation.”

6.47
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
0 = Not well compensated 10 = Well compensated

Benefit Package
[How comprehensive is the employee benefit package offered in your work setting?]

Respondents indicated that they feel the benefit package is not as comprehensive as it could be with a rating of 4.84.

A pharmacist from Colorado stated, “Insurance is costly with a small store.” Another from California added that they receive, “Salary plus healthcare (is reserved) for full time staff.”

4.84
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
0 = Not comprehensive 10 = Very Comprehensive

Advice for student pharmacists

Practitioners’ advice to student pharmacists varied across many areas–all which looked at ways to gain additional information in this area as well as looking forward to the future. Below is a partial list of advice.

  • "No matter what ‘role’ you take, remember that you are a health care provider and that whatever you do, you are doing for another person that needs your help."
  • "I worry for the future of independent community pharmacy."
  • "For me personally, I see a continuing trust that is built by patients towards me as I continue to earn their respect through compassionate understanding for their specific situation and concerns as I provide solutions, assistance, and insight into these concerns and situations."
  • "Number one profession to love."
  • "Independent community pharmacists play a vital role in accessibility and quality health care, especially in small communities, but poor insurance reimbursements, etc. are driving a lot of independents out of business."
  • "Learn business skills and how to motivate others."
  • "Unlimited opportunities."
