Pharmacy Management: Essentials for All Practice Settings, Second

If it's important to your pharmacy career… you'll find it here

"This is the most comprehensive pharmacy management book I have ever seen. It is suitable for all types of practice settings: community/retail, hospital, etc. It is nearly a one-stop single resource for one opening a new pharmacy or owning or managing an existing pharmacy. In essence, it provides an understanding for the role of management in pharmacy practice. The book covers core topics as well as valuable peripheral topics and themes that will be of value to managers....It is superior to the earlier edition and to other, currently available management books. It is a plus that nearly all examples and cases use pharmacy settings. 3 Stars."--Doody's Review Service
