Dixon,
Thanks for posing the question. To put things in perspective, Pharmacy has NOT always been clinical in the sense that it is today. When I started out in the mid 80s, collaborative practice agreements were essentially non-existent. Pharmacists weren’t allowed to immunize. In most places, pharmacists weren‘t allowed to write in the chart “for liability issues”. Funny how now if a pharmacist does NOT review a patients meds, that neglect is considered liability! I worked in a behavioral health care facility in the 2000s in which pharmacists STILL did not have access to patient lab data! Yes, pharmacy has come a long way since I first started practicing but we still have a long way to go.
That's sad but we still have to work hard.
It's a great research for pharmacist intervention which results in positive outcome.
Thank you all. Of course, we have to provide services that produce positive outcomes. Naturally these efforts will be appreciated.
Pharmacy is primarily considered as drug related studies, whereas clinical studies are those which are involved in direct patient care. Pharmacy practice was introduced to bridge the gap between pharmacy and medicine. Hence, it is fusion course addressing drugs and direct patient care rather than a clinical or non clinical course.
