Updated regularly and optimized for viewing on any device, this comprehensive, content-rich online pharmacy resource allows users to explore leading pharmacy references, search curriculum topics, research drugs and supplements.

AccessPharmacy gives pharmacy students instant access to videos, games, Q&A, and leading pharmacy textbooks that will establish an important foundation for learning, and allows practicing pharmacists to get information instantly about drugs, herbs and supplements, and consult features and editorials concerning the vast array of current pharmacy publications.

Why is AccessPharmacy unique?

AccessPharmacy provides unique benefits that deliver indispensable support in pharmacy education and actual practice – through these exclusive interactive features:

  • Quick Reference – Users will find Quick Answers, a concise outline of common conditions and disorders at your fingertips-whether used as a high-yield review for studying or for quick reference in the clinical setting.
  • Extensive multimedia library – A unique multimedia collection featuring detailed drug interaction animations of complicated concepts. Videos illustrating fundamental medical concepts drawn from the world’s most trusted medical textbook, Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine, give pharmacy students the breadth of knowledge necessary to become an integral part of a health care team. 
  • Drug therapy cases – More than 150 drug-therapy cases with questions and care plans that students can design and submit to faculty to aid in critical thinking and problem analysis.

  • Extensive self-assessment - With more than 10,000 Q&A in basic science, pharmacotherapy, and NAPLEX review, users can rate their skills and identify their strong and weak areas, making test-taking easier. The Top 300 Prescription Drugs Challenge allows users to quiz themselves on need-to-know medications.
