Reflecting the growing public interest in alternative and complementary medicine, the School of Pharmacy's 19th annual Don B. Katterman Lecture will focus on "Herbal Medicine: Trends, Problems, Solutions and Products."
The lecture, for pharmacists and other health care professionals, is from 9 a.m. to noon, Saturday, April 18, in Kane Hall.
Dr. Gary Elmer, UW associate professor of medicinal chemistry, will be joined by two outside panelists: Dr. Don Brown, director of Natural Product Research Consultants in Seattle, and Dr. Eileen Stretch, practitioner in the Institute of Complementary Medicine in Seattle. Both are naturopathic physicians.
"The presentation will help pharmacists determine whether, when and how to recommend or integrate herbal medicines into standard pharmacy services," said Elmer.
The lecture is open to all interested health-care professionals. Participants will receive three hours of continuing pharmacy education credit. Registration fee is $10. For more information call Sidney Herness at 543-3485.
