Pharmacists practice in a variety of ambulatory settings, including primary care and cardiology, with collaborative practice agreements for a number of disease states. Pharmacists are also key members of other multidisciplinary clinics, such as oncology, fall prevention clinic, post-discharge clinic, and comprehensive care clinic.
