September 2002, What's New on Medscape Pharmacists?
Welcome to the first in a monthly series of "From the Editor" columns on the Medscape Pharmacists site. I'll be using this column to update you on what's new on the site, introduce you to various site features, seek your feedback and input on issues of importance to you, and discuss major topics of interest in the field.
We are preparing to launch an "Ask the Experts" program on Pharmacotherapy and Pharmacy Practice. This new feature will allow you to ask specific questions of noted experts in pharmacy and pharmacology. The answers will be posted in the "Ask the Experts" section of the Medscape Pharmacists home page. We have already posted an invitation to you to submit your questions. You'll find this on the "Featured On Medscape Pharmacists" section on the upper left side of the Pharmacists home page. Simply click on the link and fill out the form to submit a question. Questions will then be reviewed and submitted to a member of our expert panel based on their area of expertise. We will post selected questions and responses once the feature officially launches in October -- stay tuned!
In light of the recent commemoration of the 1-year anniversary of the September 11 tragedy, I encourage you to take a look at some of the articles we've posted on the role pharmacists can play in preparing for and responding to disasters and large-scale emergencies. Here are some articles that may be of particular interest to you, compliments of our Publisher's Circle, Medscape's collection of selected articles from outstanding journals:
ASHP Statement on the Role of Health-System Pharmacists in Counterterrorism
Role of Poison Control Centers in Disaster Response Planning
Bioterrorism Preparedness: Answers for the Health-System Pharmacist
Summary of the Executive Session on Emergency Preparedness and the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain
Summary of the Second Executive Session on Emergency Preparedness and the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain
Lessons Learned From the September 11th World Trade Center Disaster: Pharmacy Preparedness and Participation in an International Medical and Surgical Response Team
Fighting Back: Pharmacists' Roles in the Federal Response to the September 11 Attacks
