Description
Community pharmacy practice is evolving. Community pharmacists increasingly take an active role in patient care and medication management. Meanwhile, the number of pharmacy graduates pursuing community pharmacy practice residency training is surging. Despite these developments, however, there is a dearth of teaching and learning resources focused on the management of patients in this dynamic, challenging practice setting. Community Pharmacy Practice Case Studies has arrived not a moment too soon. The book's 83 cases provide the "real world" teaching tools that instructors and preceptors have long needed to train current and future community pharmacists to implement innovative patient care services.
KEY FEATURES:
83 "real world" case studies focused on community pharmacy practice.
Teaching points about medication management, drug therapy selection, and opportunities and challenges unique to community pharmacy practice.
Learning objectives, questions, and additional activities for learners.
Incorporation of the medication therapy management "Core Elements" into many of the cases.
Answer key available for instructors to use as a teaching and resource guide.
