Main description:

It is essential to achieve work-life balance. This book serves as a resource to pharmacists who are also parents. It identifies common work and home struggles and describes how different challenges might be addressed. It provides advice from pharmacist parents who want to share their knowledge and experiences with other pharmacist parents. Recommendations and options are provided to help support families, so they can achieve the successful balance that seems nearly impossible in today's fast-paced world.

The book features writing that exerts a playful nod to medicine that will appeal to the more scientific side of the pharmacist's brain. Chapters are formatted to feature case-based scenarios that pharmacist parents may come across in various stages of life. Both traditional and non-traditional households may benefit from the advice shared.
