Reviewer: Tanya C. Knight-Klimas, PharmD, CGP (Temple University School of Pharmacy)
Description: This book is a valuable tool for prospective, new, and even seasoned pharmacists seeking to establish or advance their clinical practice. It offers a complete guide for ambitious pharmacists who want to care for patients well, from the internalization of the pharmaceutical care concept to the effective implementation of pharmaceutical care practice.
Purpose: The purpose of this guide is to impart to pharmacists the knowledge and skills that are required for pharmaceutical care to be learned, practiced and taught. Instilling this is absolutely necessary in the training of prospective clinicians, yet it is very difficult to accomplish in one class, book, or experience. The authors amazingly wrap their arms around this difficult to teach topic and tame it with clear, concise explanations, examples and instructions in a single guide.
Audience: This book can serve well any pharmacist seeking to begin or improve their clinical practice regardless of their specialty. Pharmacy students hoping to enter clinical practice, pharmacy residents, young academicians and clinicians, as well as seasoned pharmacists can benefit from the tools in this guide, written by authors who have helped pioneer the field of pharmaceutical care.
Features: This is a complete guide to the learning, practice and teaching of pharmaceutical care. The book covers everything from the language of pharmaceutical care, all the way to the development of a pharmaceutical care practice and everything in between, including the clinical, economic, and ethical components of practice. The authors do a great job of delineating the specific roles of the practitioner and patient, and they give specific tips to help readers acquire the knowledge and skills needed for practice. A checklist of key concepts and a list of exercises in each chapter contribute to the success of this book.
Assessment: This is as complete a guide to the practice of pharmaceutical care that one can find in one book. Many of us learn, practice, and teach components of this in our work, but it is rare to find all of this information under one roof. This book should be a part of every clinician's library.
