Homeopathy drug products appear on pharmacy shelves as over-the-counter (OTC) options. Yet most U.S. pharmacy curricula offer minimal training on homeopathy, leaving many pharmacists uncertain about how to address patient questions or provide appropriate guidance. This free, self-paced two-hour CE program equips pharmacists with the knowledge and practical skills they need to confidently counsel patients on homeopathic medicines鈥攊ncluding their role and considerations in oncologic palliative care. Participants will leave better prepared to respond to patient concerns and support informed decision-making in the pharmacy setting.

This activity has been supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Boiron, USA. The company played no role in the development of this CE activity.
