Pharmacists serve as resources and liaisons to other departments, health care team members, or external groups. They also support and/or lead patient care quality and regulatory compliance initiatives designed to improve medication-use processes or pharmacy practice. Pharmacists provide medication and practice-related education/training and actively serve as preceptors for pharmacy students and pharmacy residents. If applicable, participation in the quality initiatives is expected with the goal of improving clinical pharmacy services by monitoring processes, analyzing data, implementing interventions, and evaluating the effectiveness of those interventions.
