Continuing EducationNEW! Pharmacist's Guide to MalpracticePharmacists are health professionals who assist individuals in making the best use of medications. As a pharmacist, you are expected to know about the medication of any prescription you fill: its indications and contraindications, safe dosages and potential adverse responses. But knowing about drugs isn't enough to prevent errors. Regardless whether those errors cause harm to a patient, you still are at risk of being named in a lawsuit. The continuing education series offered through HPSO, the program for professional liability insurance coverage sponsored by APhA, has been designed specifically for pharmacists to help you:
The content and tests are available online, through our partner, Data Trace Publishing Company for only $35. Review the series and take the tests online.
