High-Volume Retail Dispensing (Routine)Most exposed where workflow is repetitive, protocolized, and increasingly software-assistedMedium

No role is permanently “AI-proof.” These paths are more resilient because they combine clinical judgment, communication, and direct accountability for patient outcomes.
