{"product_id":"9781585282869","title":"The Conscience of a Pharmacist: Essays on Vision and Leadership for a Profession","description":"At a point in an individual's journey as a pharmacist,  one becomes aware of the immense gap between the potential and the  actual performance of pharmacy as a health profession. For some  pharmacists, this is a fleeting cognizance with a significance so  troubling that it is denied and buried forever. Other common reactions  include resignation, frustration, cynicism, and escape. The most  constructive response is dedication to reform of the profession, in  whatever sphere of influence a pharmacist has.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA spirit of reform shaped the essays in this book, which were first published as editorials in the \u003ci\u003eAmerican Journal of Health-System Pharmacy\u003c\/i\u003e(AJHP).  The editorials selected for this book-half of them written in 1990s,  the rest earlier-are still relevant to the state of pharmacy today. In  some cases, the essays offer historical perspective on particular  choices the profession has made, such as the adoption of Pharm.D. degree  education as the minimum for all new practitioners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe hope is that this book will attract and arouse new readers-the  practitioners, educators, residents, and students who have not been  exposed to the pharmacy literature of the past twenty years-and incite  them to make pharmacy a better profession.","brand":"ASHP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47150631977200,"sku":"9781585282869","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781585282869_p0.jpg?v=1763792038","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781585282869","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
