Course Details

Having been presented with a prescription indicating a need for a compounded medication, the participating pharmacist will use uniquely designed patient assessment tools, select appropriate delivery systems for the specific hormones and nutritional supplements prescribed, and then monitor patient progress. During this process the participant will have learned the physiologic features of the hormone systems in the body, how to conduct a patient needs analysis, and then work with physicians to provide pharmacist expertise with respect to the therapeutic, nutritional supplementation, and lifestyle and behavior modification options available to the physician.
Finally, participants will apply monitoring tools and strategies to maintain patient compliance with prescribed therapeutic initiatives. Casework will be documented and clinical findings recorded in a formal manner for purposes of confidential communication, record keeping, and statistical analysis.
