Continuing education for the improvement of professional intervention in patient care
Abstract:
Continuing education has a vital and unique role to play in enabling the practitioner to maintain professional competence. The contributions of continuing education supplement formal preparatory education and practice experience. The future for pharmacy continuing education is tied to the transition currently underway as pharmacy emphasizes involvement in patient care. The Pharm.D.'s affect on the pharmacist, acceptance of the pharmacist in a new role, preparation of pharmacists to deal with an aging population, and capitalizing on the movement toward health promotion are all challenges that face continuing pharmacy educators.
