Article Abstract
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Psychopharmacologists, Part 4: Developing and Implementing the Vision

This feature is the fourth and final in a series of articles adapting several habits of highly effective people to the practice of psychopharmacology. The first article provided an overview of all 7 habits, the second emphasized beginning with the end in mind, and the third advised us to "sharpen our saw" through selective choices of continuing medical education programs. Many of the principles pertaining to synergy as applied to the third habit of psychopharmacologists have been discussed in a previous BRAINSTORMS article.
