They assist with medication histories, monitor patients drug therapies and provide drug information. Clinical Staff Pharmacists provide pharmacy services to patients, nurses, physicians, and other medical staff by interpreting and evaluating the validity and safety of orders and prescriptions.

They integrate core clinical pharmacy knowledge, dispensing and order review activities.
