Course Information
The original GMDC Women's Health and Well-Being Pharmacy Continuing Education program drew its ideas from the GMDC 2001 Report entitled Women s Well-Being Merchandising Strategies.
The new updated content inserts of this course are current (October 2005) research findings that have been analyzed, summarized and incorporated throughout section II. Managing Women’s Health.
The GMDC Educational Foundation sincerely thanks the program's sponsors for their generous support, including Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson Personal Products Company, Colgate-Palmolive, GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare, and Pharmacia Consumer Healthcare as Leadership contributors and Del Pharmaceuticals as a Benefactor contributor.
Women's Health and Well-Being flows directly from the concepts of whole health. It engages the customer's many different needs and involves the total store environment. Whole health is emerging as a major component of a comprehensive approach to pharmaceutical care and is one of the most important trends impacting consumers and retailers. Women's Health and Well-Being takes a sharper focus on whole health by concentrating squarely on female customers, who account for over three-fourths of all retail shoppers. Women typically control the health care decisions in their families and are a critical link in maintaining effective customer care.
The intended audiences for this program are pharmacists working in the community setting, pharmacy technicians and other health professionals who work closely with community practice pharmacists, and other key personal interested in incorporating the concepts of Women's Health and Well-Being into their retail setting.
