Course Director’s Welcome

We welcome you to The DC Center for Rational Prescribing (DCRx)!  This resource is sponsored by the DC Department of Health to provide evidence-based information about prescribing behavior, medications, and other therapeutic options. The instructional material presented here addresses important issues related to medication prescribing in a non-commercial and independent fashion. Program modules represented here are certified for continuing medical and pharmacy education and are free of charge to DC licensed physicians, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals; and, at minimal cost to those not licensed in Washington, DC.  We hope that you enjoy these learning experiences and that they bring you opportunities for personal growth and learning in your practice.
