  • "The book is written at a level appropriate for pharmacy students. The topics do not just provide information for students to prepare for the boards, they also help to generate discussion and provide a well-rounded explanation of healthcare law. The highlights of the book are how relevant the information is to pharmacy law and regulation, how it covers topics that are broader than just pharmacy (i.e. Medicare and Medicaid), and the way it is written at a level that is easy to follow."

    ~ Barbara Lane Giacomelli, PharmD, MBA, BS, FASHP, Shore Memorial Hospital (for Doody's Book Review, June 2010. Score: 93 - 4 Stars!)
