Pharmacist serves deaf and hard of hearing community
By UCSF School of Pharmacy Editorial Staff / Mon Mar 25, 2002

But when patients are deaf or hard of hearing, important details can be even more difficult to communicate. Thanks to Dana Testa, PharmD, a 2001 doctor of pharmacy graduate of the UCSF School of Pharmacy, the pharmacy care needs of the deaf and hard of hearing community are now coming though loud and clear at a time when medication errors for the public at large are making front page news.
