Dedication

To our patients and students, who have challenged and inspired us and given meaning to all our endeavors.

To practitioners who continue to improve patient health outcomes and thereby serve as role models for their colleagues and students while clinging tenaciously to the highest standards of practice.

To our mentors, whose vision provided educational and training programs that encouraged our professional growth and challenged us to be innovators in our patient care, research, and education.

To our faculty colleagues for their efforts and support for our mission to provide a comprehensive and challenging educational foundation for the pharmacists of the future.

And finally to our families for the time that they have sacrificed so that this 11th edition would become a reality.
