Scheduled for release this month, Nourishing the Soul of Pharmacy: Stories of Reflection is a collection of essays designed to embrace the use of reflective inquiry to enhance empathy for patients and elicit deeper bonds among practitioners. This goal is consistent with the imperative for practitioners to show care and compassion for the patients they serve as an essential ingredient in pharmacy’s continual evolution as a health profession. These stories are intended to lead the reader to more complex insights and, thus, improved patient care.
Demonstrating that such reflection can be valuable at all stages of education and practice, Editors Thomas D. Zlatic and William A. Zellmer have chosen essays that were contributed by senior professors and beginning faculty, pharmacy directors and new clinicians, preceptors and residents, Pharm.D. students, and pharmacists from industry and government.
This book is intended for a variety of audiences: practitioners, educators, and students; and perhaps patients, caregivers, and health care professionals seeking a better understanding of pharmacists and the roles they perform.
