Pharmacy Calculations for Pharmacy Technicians
Pharmacy Calculations for Pharmacy Technicians is designed to be a fundamental, comprehensive, creatively written and thoroughly practical reference for anyone working with mathematics in a healthcare setting. While in the position of Program Director at Heald College's ASHP Accredited Pharmacy Technician Program, I found that pharmacy math was one of the most challenging subjects for our students. Student success in the introductory pharmacy math course was in need of improvement.
Fortunately, our students soon received outstanding instruction from Dr. Brad, who joined our teaching staff as the pharmacy technician program's senior lead professor. Dr. Brad brought our program thirty-five years experience as a pharmacist, which encompassed various settings, including retail, clinic, long-term care, and hospital. Dr. Brad's expertise as a pharmacist, combined with his enthusiasm for pharmacy math and creative approach to teaching, resulted in the significant improvement of student completion rates of the introductory pharmacy course.
An integral component to our students1 success was Dr. Brad's classroom handouts, which served as the precursor to Pharmacy Calculations for Pharmacy Technicians. This outstanding text is a long overdue addition to pharmacy math education. Looking back at my early years as a registered nursing student, it would have been much more flexible and easier to use Pharmacy Calculations for Pharmacy Technicians rather than the abstract and formula laden math textbooks.
