Jane Rice has outdone herself once again. This book has everything there is to know about Pharmacology for Medical assisting. It's not only easy to understand but is also very informative. After I read it I got a 94 on my Pharmacology test, and now I'm a certified pharmacist thanks to this astonishing book. If you are thinking becoming a medical assistant or a pharmacologist this is a book I'd definitely recommend. Buy this and you'll be glad you did, I guarantee it.

I received this book very shortly after I ordered it. It is in excellent condition. I have not finished reading and studying it; although I think it is the best book at Amazon for the Medical Assistant to have while in school and after on the job.

Thanks, worth the price.

This review is from: Principles of Pharmacology for Medical Assisting (Paperback)

This is an excellent book on the subject of pharmacology. The only thing that irks me is that the answers to the review problems and questions are not in the back of the book. There is a website where one can go to get the answers, but I find this to be too time consuming.
