SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads) I have an assignment this semester to write a drug monograph. I have also heard mention of writing monographs in drug info practice/residency settings. Why would one write a monograph when the manufacturer, clinical pharmacology and countless other databases etc etc have already written monographs? I understand it is a good learning experience for pharmacy students. I want to know why this is done, especially why one would do this in a practice environment?
