Pharmacists who treat epilepsy and specialize in neurology

Pharmacists work in many areas of health care and can specialize their pharmacy practice, just like doctors. As the medication experts, pharmacists also work in the field of neurology and treat patients with epilepsy. Hear from Barry Gidal, Professor of Pharmacy and Neurology at the UW-Madison School of Pharmacy and a pharmacist with a clinical practice in the epilepsy program at the William S. Middleton Memorial Veterans Hospital.
