About the author |
 |
Brian S. Katcher, Pharm.D., is the author of MEDLINE: a guide
to effective searching in PubMed and other interfaces, now
in its second edition. He was one of the founding editors of Applied
Therapeutics: The Clinical Use of Drugs, a textbook used in training
clinical pharmacists. He has also written for the American
Journal of Public Health, other scholarly journals, and for
the mass market consumer press.
Dr. Katcher is deputy director of the Community Health Promotion
& Disease Prevention Branch of the San Francisco Department
of Public Health and Associate Clinical Professor of Pharmacy
at the University of California San Francisco.
His main work at the San Francisco Department of Public Health
is promoting community-based, environmentally-focused primary
prevention activities. He is interested in both the clinical use
of drugs for common health problems and public health strategies
to reduce the burden of these problems. His promotion of the most
effective use of PubMed/MEDLINE supports a larger vision of evidence-based
health policy and practice.
