About the Department
The patient care mission of the Shands Jacksonville Pharmacy Department is to optimize drug therapy through a proactive practice focusing on identifying, preventing, and resolving drug related problems to assure patient safety, increase patient satisfaction and minimize cost.
 The philosophy of practice for the department revolves around its practitioners' responsibility for the provision of comprehensive pharmaceutical care. This responsibility includes therapeutic drug monitoring, drug information and the daily education of patients and health professionals. Highly skilled technicians, comprehensive pharmacy computer systems and advanced technology are used to assist pharmacists in their practice.
The education of Doctor of Pharmacy APPE students and the training of PGY-1, critical care, ambulatory care, and drug information residents are also the responsibility of these practitioners.
The department is also committed to clinical drug research activities. The Division of Clinical Research and the Research Committee help to foster this commitment.
Many practitioners are actively involved in hospital committees and activities. Their expertise is tapped to serve not only their patients, but the hospital and community as a whole.
