Pharmacy
Pharmacists are an important asset to the transdisciplinary health
care team. Because of their expertise in drugs they are an invaluable
resource to other clinicians. As drugs change in form, composition,
effect, and dosage, health care professionals need to know the latest
information on drug effects and prescription. Pharmacists are becoming
more involved in the patient’s drug therapy decision making
as well as patient education and counseling.
