TY - JOUR T1 - The Pharmacist as Part of the Primary Care Team During the COVID-19 Pandemic JF - The Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine JO - J Am Board Fam Med SP - S21 LP - S25 DO - 10.3122/jabfm.2021.S1.200180 VL - 34 IS - Supplement AU - Cynthia Moreau Y1 - 2021/02/01 UR - http://www.jabfm.org/content/34/Supplement/S21.abstract N2 - Pharmacists’ roles and training have evolved to prepare pharmacists to provide clinical patient care services as part of interdisciplinary teams in primary care settings. Especially now, amidst a global health crisis such as COVID-19, patients may become more aware of their health status and be exposed to increased medical information in the media. Additionally, some patients may have delayed routine care, which may result in exacerbations of chronic disease states. Pharmacists can help alleviate the burden on primary care providers by serving as a drug information resource for patients and staff while providing patient education on management of chronic disease states.
