Pharmacists provide prescription medication and counseling to patients.
Reviewing the prescription profile for drug interactions, consulting with physicians regarding therapeutic options, and assisting patients with new drugs are less obvious components of dispensing a prescription. When someone is admitted to a health care facility, the pharmacist is frequently responsible for reviewing the patients medications, providing medications during their stay, monitoring their drug therapy, and consulting with other health professionals to optimize drug therapy and evaluate drug related problems. Communication skills and a sense of personal caring provide a strong partnership with the pharmaceutical knowledge obtained during your education at Creighton. All rights reserved.
