Peer Support - How Different Areas Work Together
Peer support is essential to the success of UAB's pharmacy practice. Because we share information, pharmacists utilize each other as resources in an effort to provide the best possible care. Among the pharmacists throughout the different areas, there is an implicit understanding of how each area is intricately connected and pharmacists are supported.
Practitioners are recognized for working with particular populations and are contacted by their colleagues to assist in answering area specific questions. The Drug Information Specialists support the pharmaceutical care efforts of pharmacy practitioners. Central and decentral pharmacists consult each other with area specific questions. Teamwork and a supportive environment are crucial to our success at providing excellent care to individual patient's needs.
