Main description:

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. This practical guide fills 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. The book is designed for pharmacy students and residents who undertake a capstone or standalone research project as part of their professional training.

Consistent with ACPE requirements for the PharmD curriculum with coverage of:

Research design
Biostatistics
Pharmacoepidemiology
An ideal resource for students and residents in pharmacy settings
