The Pharmacist in Public Health : Education, Applications, and Opportunities Hardback

Hardback

Description

Written and edited by pharmacists for pharmacists, The Pharmacist in Public Health: Education, Applications, and Opportunities integrates public health concepts into pharmacy practice and empowers pharmacists and student pharmacists to become involved in public health.

The three pharmacist editors and more than 50 contributing authors with backgrounds in pharmacy or public health explore pharmacy's important role in public health, opportunities and challenges for pharmacists, and the need for student pharmacists' education and involvement.

The 22 peer-reviewed chapters document pharmacists' current public health efforts and highlight the need for pharmacist involvement and expertise to resolve public health issues locally, nationally, and globally.

Thoroughly referenced, containing many examples, figures, and practitioner profiles, the book is a resource for practicing pharmacists, student pharmacists, and other professionals in the public health community.

Key Features: Chapters 1 through 4 review pharmacists' practice and education in public health, provide a history and overview of both professions, and trace pharmacists' practice in the United States Public Health Service.

Chapters 5 through 17 describe pharmacy practice roles in public health and address why pharmacists need to be involved.

These chapters feature profiles of public health pharmacists and practical recommendations for furthering pharmacists' involvement and contributions via ACT ("Actions for Change Today").

Chapters 18 and 19 focus on expanding pharmacists' role in public health through continuing professional development and interprofessional health initiatives. Chapters 20 through 22 are dedicated to promoting and applying public health topics in student pharmacists' educational and professional activities.

The chapters include examples of students' community outreach and local and global service initiatives to improve public health.
