  • Patient-centered advocate for seniors at-risk for medication-related problems.
Creed ... In their role as medication therapy experts, consultant and senior care pharmacists:
  • Take responsibility for their patients’ medication-related needs
  • Ensure that their patients’ medications are the most appropriate, the most effective, the safest possible, and are used correctly; and
