How can I become a research pharmacist?

I want to be a pharmacist in the research setting or hospital setting.?

• please help me. look at this link. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-does-a-pharmacist-do.htm -- this is what it says near the bottom: In hospital settings, pharmacists principally work in the same manner, preparing medications, labeling them to be sent to appropriate patients, advising doctors on the best medications that do not conflict with others, and ordering supplies as necessary. Some hospital pharmacists also dispense medicines directly to patients, since many hospitals have retail pharmacies on site. A pharmacist in the research setting may be responsible for developing new drugs, testing drugs, administering pharmaceuticals for specific tests, or studying developed drugs for safety and possible interactions. Some work with investigatory agencies like the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to perform safety tests on medications that are waiting for safety approval. Others pharmacists work for pharmaceutical companies or run independent laboratories. -- i want to either become a pharmacist for the hospital setting or the research setting. where can i get more information on this like what major i need to do and how long it takes.
