Pharmacists are educators and important partners in patient care. Often on the front lines of care, pharmacists dispense more than medication. Offering expert counseling and recommendations, pharmacists serve as medication experts on care teams. As pharmacy practice scope continues to broaden, so do pharmacists’ education needs.
