For years student pharmacists have jerry-built a pocket-sized collection of figures and tables containing key clinical information they look up frequently. Many graduates carry their tattered resource along with them right into practice. Peripheral Brain for the Pharmacist, 3rd edition arranges 30 core reference materials on lab coat pocket–sized, durable cards. Hole-punched with a metal ring to hold the collection together, Peripheral Brain for the Pharmacist means pharmacists and student pharmacists can finally part with their dog-eared, handmade resource.
