Working as a Part of a Care Team is an Important Skill for Research Pharmacists

In his work with Cancer Treatment Centers of America, research pharmacist Brian Wortz, PharmD, said he works within a broad care team of physicians, nurses, data coordinators, study coordinators, and others.

Clinical trial participants often have even more questions than patients receiving standard-of-care treatments, so working within the team to answer their questions and provide optimal care is essential for research pharmacists, Wortz said.
