Abstract:

The role of pharmaceutical education, including the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP), in promoting pharmaceutical care through collaborative prescribing practices, improving patient compliance, improving selection and administration of drug therapy, and reducing errors and adverse events is discussed, and the potential for reducing health care costs associated with increased involvement of pharmacists in prescribing is described. The potential benefits to the pharmaceutical industry of improved drug therapy and reduced costs are also discussed.
