Pharmacotherapy Casebook: A Patient-focused Approach - Tapa blanda

"The Pharmacotherapy Casebook should be seriously considered as a required text for pharmacotherapeutics courses. Those educational programs wishing to incorporate more student-centered learning experiences will find this book to be an invaluable resource. The complementary nature of the textbook, which focuses on content, and the casebook which focuses on content, and the casebook, which focuses on the problem-solving process, allows almost limitless flexibility of use in a number of different learning environment."

This Casebook is designed to help students develop the skills required to identify and resolve drug therapy problems through the use of patient case studies. Group discussions using case studies can actively involve students in the learning process, engender self-confidence, and promote the development of skills in independent self-study, problem analysis, decision making, oral communication, and teamwork. By using these realistic cases to practice creating, defending, and implementing pharmaceutical care plans, students can begin to develop the skills that will be necessary to make the real decisions required in professional practice. The Casebook is a valuable learning tool for students in traditional pharmacy and nurse practitioner programs, pharmacists enrolled in external degree programs, and for instructors coordinating institutional staff development efforts. It is also useful for independent study by practicing pharmacists wishing to upgrade their pharmaceutical care skills.
