Evolution of Clinical Pharmacy

This new book, a compilation of landmark articles from The Annals of Pharmacotherapy, provides practitioners, students, and educators with the historical context needed for a better understanding of modern pharmacy practice. The Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education states that knowledge of the evolution of clinical pharmacy is "essential to the development of pharmacists."

The articles included in this volume describe the pioneering work in key areas of clinical pharmacy that have led to today's advanced, specialized practices. Originally published as a series in The Annals of Pharmacotherapy, this book contains all 112 articles: 71 from early volumes of the journal and 41 describing the growth of the profession over time. In addition, articles published during the early years of the journal that chronicle the development of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) are included.

Follow the evolution of pharmacists from their "count and pour" duties in 1967, when the journal began, to the sophisticated healthcare professionals they are today.
