Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a must-have, quick review of federal pharmacy law, regulations, and agencies. This is perfect for anyone taking a state MPJE exam. If you are like most pharmacists or pharmacy students, you enjoy taking care of patients, identifying drug therapy problems, and making a difference by using your expert knowledge about medications. Unfortunately, having a basic understanding of laws, regulations, and regulatory agencies that impact the profession is a necessary evil. If you cannot pass the state law exam (MPJE), you can't work as a pharmacist and do all the really cool things that you've wanted to do (including pay off your student loans). MPJE Master: Federal Pharmacy Law Review was intended to simplify the process of learning pharmacy law. We've outlined critical components of federal pharmacy law that you will need to know to pass your MPJE exam. I was always the student in school that needed to highlight the most important information to remember and then I would memorize that information. Recalling information from a large textbook was always difficult for me. Rather than reading a textbook, we've supplied the information in easily digestible, bite-sized pieces. We've used bullet points to help you be able to quickly memorize important facts about each agency, regulation, law, etc. We've also created a super-helpful list of questions within the book to help you identify areas of pharmacy practice where state laws can often vary. This table is a list of questions that you can fill in as you read your respective states' laws and regulations. We've added this to ensure that you don't overlook the important differences in pharmacy laws across the United States. Whether you are a new graduate who needs to pass your law exam to begin your practice or a 20-year veteran who is moving to a new state, this review will absolutely help prepare you to pass your MPJE law exam and help you obtain your pharmacy license.

This book was released on 2016-12-16 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simply put, this BCGP review from Meded101 will help you pass your exam and become a Board Certified Geriatric Pharmacist. I've worked my entire career in geriatrics and wanted to share some of that clinical knowledge with you as well as provide you an incredibly valuable study guide. Studying for a pharmacist board certification exam can be overwhelming. It's likely been a few years since you've taken an exam and the last thing you want to do is fail! The next to last thing you want to do is to try to find 3-6 months to study for the exam. As a father with two small children, I realize how valuable time is. What was frustrating to me about preparing for the Board Certified Geriatric Pharmacist (BCGP) exam, formerly the Certified Geriatric Pharmacist (CGP) exam as well as the BCPS exam was that the study material was not to the point. I felt like I needed to read thousands of pages to be adequately prepared. Recognizing that challenge of time management as a busy professional, I wanted to create the ultimate review for the BCGP exam that won't take you months to get through. I wanted to give you the most important bullet points you need to know to best prepare for the exam. I utilized the BCGP outline to create this study guide. It breaks down nearly 80 of the most important geriatric disease states. In this breakdown I include information about the signs and symptoms, complications, risk factors, and of course the main drugs of therapy for each disease. I also break down the most important clinical pearls from the drugs of choice for each disease state. Within the medications to know breakdown for each disease state, you will find clinical pearls, important adverse effects, drug-disease and drug-drug interaction information, and essential compelling indications. While this review specifically follows the content outline for the BCGP (CGP) exam, pharmacists seeking Board Certification in Pharmacotherapy (BCPS) or those seeking Board Certification in Ambulatory Care (BCACP) may also benefit from the clinical information within this study guide. The Board Certified Geriatric Pharmacist, Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist, and Board Certified Ambulatory Care Pharmacist are designations from the Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS). The contents contained within this study guide are not affiliated or endorsed by BPS.

This book was released on 2018-03-27 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have pharmacology test anxiety or a feeling of overwhelm? This fast and easy pharmacology review through pharmacology flash card mnemonics and fill-ins recognizes that many future nurses, doctors, physician assistants, and pharmacists (chemists) have families, jobs, and other responsibilities. Do you have time enough time to make 100%% sure you will pass in the classroom or on the board exam? For most students taking the NCLEX, NAPLEX, USMLE Step-1, PANCE, GPHC, or KAPS exam, the answer is no. I wrote this mnemonic guide as an audiobook first to help you remember pharmacology drug names and principles quickly. While in the classroom you professors might say memorization doesn't matter, but you can't bring outside material to the board exam, so for this test, you do need to work on memory training. You already know the consequences of failing a class or board exam, so let's make sure that doesn't happen by getting pharmacology organized in your head once and for all.

Discover the medication therapy management solution—with this definitive, up-to-date sourcebook The need to improve the use of medications has major implications for the nation’s healthcare system.

Download or read book NAPLEX Nuggets written by Eric Christianson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-04-18 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I remember what it was like to study for the NAPLEX. Overwhelming doesn't begin to describe the feeling. Where do you start? How do you prioritize and review for this gigantic exam? When I am preparing to take pharmacy exams, I have a very difficult time learning and retaining information from massive review books. I find myself reading for 5-10 minutes and my mind begins to wander, retaining nothing of what I just read. After years of practice and test taking (NAPLEX, BCPS, CGP etc.), I have found that I learn most efficiently by memorizing information in short important bullet points. In this study guide, I have selected the most commonly used medication classes and have provided you with my most highly testable pearls on each class. In this book, I cover over 150 medication classes which includes nearly 400 medications! I have created bullet points which will help you review more efficiently and not waste your limited study time. This resource is not intended to be a package insert for every medication, but rather a way to try to prioritize your study process and understand the major "nuggets" of information that you must know to help you pass the NAPLEX. The intent is to give you a brief, incredibly helpful review of the most important medications you will likely be tested on the NAPLEX exam. I truly hope this book helps you pass the NAPLEX the first time! NAPLEX is a registered trademark of NABP. Meded101 and this study guide are not affiliated or endorsed by NABP or the NAPLEX Exam.

Download or read book The Speed of Change written by Jan-Bart Gewald and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009-07-31 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1900s the motor-vehicle (car, bus, lorry or motor-cycle) was introduced in sub-Saharan Africa. Initially the plaything and symbol of colonial domination, the motor-vehicle transformed the economic and social life of the continent. Indeed, the motor-vehicle is arguably the single most important factor for change in Africa in the twentieth century. A factor for change that thus far has been neglected in research and literature. Yet its impact extends across the totality of human existence; from ecological devastation to economic advancement, from cultural transformation to political change, through to a myriad of other themes. This edited volume of eleven contributions by historians, anthropologists and social and political scientists explores aspects of the social history and anthropology of the motor-vehicle in Africa.
