    • Overview

      The introductory module consists of four sub-units to provide baseline knowledge about the veterinary team, basic considerations involved in filling veterinary prescriptions, common errors that occur with veterinary prescriptions, regulatory guidance for use of medications in animals, and practical aspects of the veterinary fill with regard to location, economics, and drug information. The pharmacist and technician will be better informed about veterinary abbreviations and necessary information about the different species that must be collected for the animal patient profile, as well as key drug information resources they should have available when preparing the veterinary prescription.
