The volumes will also delve into the implications, methods, and challenges of providing online and distance pharmacist care services for the specific diseases and conditions as well. Volume 10: Diseases and Disorders of Special Populations is dedicated to the exploration of diseases, conditions, and disorders affecting various demographic groups, emphasizing the clinical, economic, and humanistic impact of pharmacist care tailored to these populations.
