What do you like about this subject? I enjoy helping seniors feel more confident about taking their medications, and to avoid problems when they are on multiple medications.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: There are many ways to save money on your medications. If you are concerned about a loved one taking too many medications,check it out! It is possible to develop a relationship with your neighborhood pharmacist no matter how busy he/she seems in order to get your questions answered.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I am currently starting to develop a community-based consulting service for individuals in assist-living facilities and those residing at home.
