Program Overview
Community pharmacists are in a unique position to assist patients and their families cope with ACS, particularly in the areas of adherence and prevention of premature discontinuation of therapy.  This program will educate pharmacists on ACS treatment guidelines, provide an update on pharmacotherapy, and the challenges associated with ACS treatment so they can more comfortably respond to patients and providers in their role as a pharmacist.
