Pharmacotherapy is the area of pharmacy practice responsible for ensuring the safe, appropriate and economical use of drugs in patient care. The pharmacotherapy specialist has responsibility for direct patient care, often functions as a member of a multidisciplinary team and is frequently the primary source of drug information for other healthcare professionals. “This is a true testament to the high quality of our College of Pharmacy faculty,” said Dean Lamar Pritchard. Those who receive certification in this specialty may use the designation “Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist” and the initials “BCPS,” as long as certification is valid.
