patients, physicians and other health-care team members. These services include
participation in medical team rounds, extensive patient-specific
medication therapy monitoring, consultation
with the medical staff regarding medication-related
issues, and
provision of drug information. Clinical areas served include: Solid Organ Transplantation, Cardiology,
Hematology/Oncology, Neurology/Neurosurgery, Trauma/Burn Unit,
General Internal Medicine, Pediatric Intensive Care, and Psychiatry. In addition,
clinical pharmacists also serve as preceptors for Doctor of
Pharmacy clerkship and externship students.
