Pharmacy in Public Health: Basics and Beyond

Pharmacy in Public Health: Basics and Beyond outlines what public health is and why it is so important for today’s pharmacists to know. This practical textbook covers key areas like the foundations of public health, concepts and tools of policy, and models of public health programs run by pharmacists. Unlike other books that link pharmacy and public health, it includes real-life cases that highlight pharmacists who are starting or getting involved in public health efforts.

This book gives pharmacists and pharmacy students all of the tools they need to get started making a difference in their communities. Readers are guided through three sections that progressively build knowledge of concepts, tools, and models of pharmacist participation in public health activities. Fully integrated cases and applied examples of public health practices provide readers with practical information on how they can get involved.
