I really enjoyed this session as it related to the field of pharmacy. The pharmacy students that attended were able to understand how pharmacists play a key role in preventing polypharmacy in the geriatric population.
The session was great. As a clinical pharmacist in a new practice area of geriatrics it was both encouraging and refreshing to hear a physician say they welcome and rely on pharmacist to assist them in medication management since we are the experts in drug therapy. My interns and I though Dr. Agarwal's presentation was wonderful. Her delivery of the information and teaching style made it so easy to understand.
Polypharmacy was an important topic to cover with the interdisciplinary audience. It was excellent and truly demonstrated the need for the patient's team to work with each patient--how each of us can contribute to improving the quality of their care in preventing medication disasters and to improve medication adherence. What better way to improve the patient’s quality of life!
Thanks you for a terrific session. The Advanced Practice Nurses enjoyed the pharmacology mechanisms of action and medication reviews.Pam Willson
