Textbooks
| Required |
Required readings will be listed in the unit outline prior to the start of classes. |
|---|---|
| Recommended | It is highly recommended that you study topics relevant to your unit from standard clinical pharmacy texts such as Pharmacotherapy by Joseph T DiPiro 11th Edition OR Applied Therapeutics by Koda-Kimble 11th Edition. There is a wide range of textbooks available online that can be accessed through the UTAS library. We assume that Pharmacists undertaking the course will have a general knowledge of most of the therapeutic areas covered, as well as have the necessary skills to interpret laboratory and patient data. Some students may need to refresh and revise this knowledge, due to the many different backgrounds and training that our students have. |
