 AB    Recognizing the unique needs and demands of HIV-infected patients, it
       was decided to implement pharmaceutical care in a VAMC outpatient HIV
       clinic. Services provided to the patients by the pharmacist include drug
       information, medication counseling with the help of educational
       handouts, and drug-related problem identification and resolution. The
       pharmacist also serves as a liaison between the patient and the VAMC
       outpatient pharmacy if conflicts arise. Services provided to the other
       members of the HIV clinic team include the provision of drug information
       and participation in clinical research. In addition, the HIV clinic
       provides a training site for pharmacy practice residents and Doctor of
       Pharmacy students on their ambulatory care rotation.
