Each chapter includes learning objectives, a list of new terms featured in the chapter, key points and advice, review questions, and a list of online resources for additional learning or applications. This is an ideal resource for students and residents who undertake capstone or standalone research projects as part of their professional training.
Student Handbook for Pharmacy Practice Research covers:
- Research design and methodology
- Practice-based research and protection on human subjects
- Pharmacoepidemiology
