Customer Reviews

Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics

As a clinical pharmacist I have found this text to be quite comprehensive in its approach to discussing patient pertinent therapeutic assessment and achieving desirable outcomes. I especially believe that we are better able to link our pharmacologic knowledge with every day realistic situations and make the most rationale decision after considering all factors influencing the communication process. The case studies assist me to do my own assessment and reflect on my personal experiences. This would serve as a great tool both at the academic and practicing level.
