Ima is eager to perform well and begin to use all that she learned during four long years of study. However, she didn’t learn anything in school about consulting pharmacy practice, and she doesn’t understand what her colleague means by “monthly drug regimen review.” She was taught to review drug regimens every time there is a change. Using a computer in the break room, Ima tries to find information by searching the Internet. A search for “consulting pharmacy practice” using the Google™ search engine results in several promising web sites.
Working with members of your group, check the following web sites and investigate information about consulting pharmacy practice and drug regimen review. Before proceeding to Part III of this case, use these sites to address the learning issues that your group identified in Part I. If time permits, expand your search for information by using additional resources on the web or in the classroom.
On your group record sheet, briefly describe the duties of a consultant pharmacist. Limit this to a half page.
