About the Author:

Dick R. Gourley, PharmD, FAPhA is Dean and Professor of Pharmacy at the highly rated University of Tennessee College of Pharmacy, Memphis. He has coedited 10 books, including Textbook of Therapeutics: Drugs and Disease Management, now in its 8th edition, and a preparation workbook for the Pharmacy College Admission Test, PCAT Success.

Review:

This book is also a satisfactory representation of a U.S. college or school of pharmacy's curriculum. It can clearly be an aid to anyone preparing for the FPGEE. However, because of its comprehensive nature and the inclusion of convenient, concise appendices, it also may be valuable to those preparing for the NAPLEX, or serve as a reference tool for practicing pharmacists. The text's in-depth social, behavioral, and administrative pharmacy sciences section may prove to be exceptionally helpful to those preparing for the FPGEE as it is thorough and comprehensive coverage of what is typically the most difficult for graduates of foreign pharmacy schools to master. --Fadi M.
