Quotes, Reviews or Testimonials

"Many books cover in detail topics in the individual chapters of this book, but this handbook does provide an all inclusive resource to get a glimpse of many topics."

-- Patrick McDonnell, PharmD (Temple University School of Pharmacy) Doody's Review

Audience

This is written primarily for students, providing as it does a historical context of hospital pharmacy practice and a summary of different areas in day-to-day operations in institutional pharmacy. Although it appears the authors have geared this book to pharmacy students, some practitioners may also enjoy the read.
