In planning for the second edition, we started by listening to our fellow educators, pharmacists, and students.Through surveys, e-mails, and conversations we learned about what users liked about the first edition, and what they would like to see added or changed in the future. Using what we learned, we worked with the chapter authors not only to improve the ease of use for faculty and students, but also to reflect the changes in pharmacy practice and management that have occurred in the last 4 years.
Pharmacy practice and health care delivery inherently involves risk.We have added a chapter devoted to describing and managing the risks commonly seen in operating a pharmacy practice. The ability to take
advantage of the opportunities in today’s pharmacy practice requires not only management skills but also amindset that can think strategically about the risks and benefits of new programs.We have added a chapter on entrepreneurship to describe how having an entrepreneurial spirit can improve a pharmacy practice and to describe how entrepreneurship skills can be acquired.click here for download
