NEW YORK, June 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- McGraw-Hill Education, the learning science company, announced that the classic text Pharmacotherapy: Principles and Practice, Third Edition, is now available online for the first time via AccessPharmacy^®, McGraw-Hill Education's comprehensive, content-rich online resource for pharmacy students and instructors and practicing pharmacists.

Pharmacotherapy Principles & Practice is widely acknowledged as one of the premier texts in the field. It uses a solid evidence-based approach to teach how to design, implement, monitor, and evaluate medication therapy. This trusted text provides everything needed to gain an in-depth understanding of the principles essential to optimal pharmacotherapy of disease. It consists of more than 100 disease-based chapters that review etiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation, followed by therapeutic recommendations for drug selection, dosing, and patient monitoring.

A key component is Custom Curriculum, a powerful workflow tool that enables pharmacy faculty to customize content as well as manage students' and residents' training from one convenient site.
