STUDENT HANDBOOK FOR PHARMACY PRACTICE RESEARCH (PB 2022)

An essential resource for students and residents in pharmacy settings

While there are numerous resources covering basics of drug literature evaluation and evidence-based pharmacy, few books focus on practice-based pharmacy research. Filling the gap in the available literature, Student Handbook for Pharmacy Practice Research provides a practical and systematic framework for conducting practice-based research by students and residents in pharmacy settings.

Each chapter includes learning objectives, a list of new terms featured in the chapter, key points and advice, review questions, and a list of online resources for additional learning or applications. This is an ideal resource for students and residents who undertake capstone or standalone research projects as part of their professional training.

Student Handbook for Pharmacy Practice Research covers:

• Research design and methodology
• Practice-based research and protection on human subjects
• Pharmacoepidemiology
• Research mentorship
• Data management and statistical analysis
• Intervention research
• Survey research
• Secondary data research
• Quality improvement research
• Peer review and publication process, and more
