Description
This is a very exciting time for pharmacists, pharmacy students, educators, and others associated with the profession of pharmacy. A number of factors have come together to provide new opportunities for pharmacists, especially in patient care and expanded professional roles. But with the new opportunities also comes challenges, including the challenge of how to manage the personal and professional resources necessary to succeed in today’s ever-changing environment.Educators must not only keep up with changes in pharmacy practice, but also anticipate and prepare our students for opportunities and contingencies that will arise throughout their professional careers. In our efforts to best prepare students, pharmacy management educators have increasingly had to gather teaching materials from a variety of textbooks, journals and other educational resources. This is due to the fact that many resources only focus on a specific management function (marketing, personnel, accounting and finance) or a specific practice setting (independent pharmacies, hospital pharmacies).We believed that there would be value in a comprehensive pharmacy management textbook that covered many content areas and gathered a variety of resources into one text. We also wanted to develop a resource that could be applied in a wide variety of practice settings. Our colleagues throughout the profession also agreed that a comprehensive management textbook was needed. Our desire to meet these needs sparked our interest to develop this text.
