About the lecture

"Looking through a Kaleidoscope: Translational Research and Pharmacy"

As with any discipline, research is critical to the advancement of pharmacy. Translational research opportunities in pharmacy exist, but we cannot limit ourselves to one approach, whether as a basic scientist or a clinical practitioner.

The key to our success in these research endeavors is developing collaborative relationships and listening to our patients as the research conducted by pharmacists can define new practices that shape routine patient care.
