Abstract
It is significant that the separation of pharmacy from medicine occurred for the first time in institutions under ecclesiastic authority which were devoted to the care of the sick. In this period of history, there was little division between the church and state; therefore, business did not play any part in the overall health care scheme. The prime consideration was the delivery of the highest quality of pharmaceutical and medical services. This was best accomplished by a division of labor between the expert in the medical treatment and the expert in the selection, preservation and prepagation of medicinals. In other words, the hospital pharmacist was the first recog- nized representative of the specialized art and science of pharmacy. Such specialists in pharmacy were employed in hospitals which formed a part of many monasteries since the fourth century A.D. In Switzerland, during the ninth century, a plan for remodeling a monastery provided for an apothecary shop and a garden for the cultivation of medicinal plants. During the plague which depopulated many European countries in the fourteenth century, hospitals sprang up everywhere. The inclusion of a pharmacy in those hospitals was the rule rather than the exception (1).
