Description

This is a multi-authored collaboration between geriatric pharmacists and family medicine geriatricians to create a book about prescribing for older persons. The collaboration produces excellent results.

The case-based presentations at the beginning of the chapters make this an excellent resource for group discussions in wards or classrooms.

Quotes, Reviews or Testimonials

"This is such a wonderful addition to the field. Throughout it emphasizes the collaboration and common understanding that must take place between prescribers, pharmacists, and older persons themselves."

-- David Staats, MD (University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center) Doody's Review

Audience

Written for all who prescribe and dispense for older persons. Because its authors write from a family practice perspective, trainees and practitioners of family medicine will find the frame of reference particularly suitable. The case-based presentations at the beginning of the chapters make this an excellent resource for group discussions in wards or classrooms.
