Quote: "Helping patients manage their complex post-transplant medication regimen is most rewarding to me. Because all of our transplant patients are asked to take a minimum of 10 different medications, it is essential that they understand the importance of compliance and adverse effect profile of the medications in order to ensure optimal function of the transplanted graft. As a pharmacist, I am able to have an active role in the interdisciplinary coordination between the medical and nursing staff, the patient and his/her family members, and the community at large."
