By Dennis B. Worthen and Robert M. Elenbaas

Book Overview

Clinical Pharmacy in the United States: Transformation of a Profession is a comprehensive account of the evolution of clinical pharmacy and is an insightful must-read for anyone who cares about the profession of pharmacy. Beginning with an overview of the profession's evolution and proceeding through the decade-specific chapters that follow, Drs. Elenbaas and Worthen trace the clinical pharmacy movement from its beginning to the present day. The book's unique organization provides important context beyond the profession of pharmacy by providing a concise overview of U.S. culture, politics, economics, technology, health, and other events, melded with the major clinical pharmacy-related events. A timeline that chronicles the key events flows across the bottom of the pages. Distributed throughout the book are reflective essays -- personal accounts that provide an on the ground perspective and impart a "you are there" dimension. Pharmacy students, residents, and fellows should all read this book . . . as should those who have lived through this rich history.
