Community-Based Pharmacists’ Needs for HIV-Related Training and Experience

Abstract

In the current era of patient-centered care, a pharmacist that is well rounded-not just in dispensing antiretroviral medications but highly knowledgeable in different aspects of ART and HIV-specific patient care-can make a valuable contribution to the health care team. Pharmacy school curricula and continuing professional education need to be aligned to meet the knowledge and competency needs of community pharmacists who are strategically positioned to provide care to PLWH.
