Avicenna
Avicenna is the pseudonym for a registered pharmacist (BscPharm, RPh) who works in a community pharmacy in Atlantic Canada. A skeptic at heart, he has completed training in biostatistics, critical appraisal, which helps him to critically evaluate the benefits and harms of medications.
Avicenna believes in a patient’s right to educate themselves about medical issues, but is concerned about the overwhelmingly bad information found in popular magazines, books and websites. Avicenna also enjoys reading (and writing) science-based medicine and pharmacy articles.
