Enhancing the Health of the Public
The public counts pharmacists among the most trustworthy of professionals. Pharmacists have a greater impact on patient care and therefore carry an attendant greater social responsibility than ever before. Developing methods for applying existing knowledge to real-life medication management for people in the community is a present and future challenge.
