Pharmacists and physicians play a critical role in patient care. Collaboration between the two healthcare providers is essential in improving health outcomes and preventing adverse drug events.

The prescription of medications requires monitoring, medication adherence, managing side effects, dosage adjustments, and much more. Collaboration between pharmacists and physicians helps the patient first, and ensures they are receiving optimal care when it comes to drug therapy treatment and management.

This online course is focused on the experience of pharmacist Roland Halil (course presenter), who has built strong, collaborative relationships with family physicians and has seen firsthand how this strategy has improved health outcomes and prevented adverse events for patients.

Roland demonstrates how putting effort into creating successful working relationships with family doctors, residents and nurse practitioners has provided mutually beneficial results. He shares various strategies and theories that other pharmacists can use to build similar relationships. Working together means providing patients with timely treatment, accessibility to medications, better prescription of medication and better overall health.
