Did you know there is an elective on Herbals, Dietary Supplements, and Natural Products available? Many patients seek herbal products, botanicals, dietary supplements, and natural products to support their health. It's important that pharmacists have the tools to counsel and guide their patients who are exploring these complementary and integrative therapies. Consider enrolling in PP339: Herbals, Dietary Supplements, and Natural Products to build your knowledge of these products! The class will be available this Fall 2024 on Mondays from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm. Please email Dr. Rebecca Munger (rmunger@sju.edu) or Dr. Alice Scaletta (ascaletta@sju.edu) for any questions.
