@pharmacists The federal government is recognizing Pharmacists as professionals. Please petition for provider status. This is where timing meets opportunity.
From our earliest days, Black history has always been American history – and Black folks have profoundly shaped our American culture through music, art, literature, sports, and beyond. One month a year is not sufficient to celebrate the power of the movements and the people who have fought for the rights we enjoy today. That’s something that we have to do each and every day, as we strive to live up to their example and make sure our children and grandchildren remember their stories.
@Andy On Married To Medicine series, can we see less wives of doctors? There are Doctors of Pharmacy, Doctors of Nursing, etc. Also, let’s see Chicago. Inbox me for fresh ideas.
@AlesiaVAdamsRx @medic2pharmd I disagree that we’re looking to diagnose- based upon number of discrepancies coming through, we should be prescribers though.
@chrissyfreeMD Pharmacy fellows exist as well. We all need to recognize that each profession brings something to the table and STOP trying to “one up”. For example, if physicians could do it all, apparently they would. However, they can’t so non-physician professionals exist to fill in gaps.
@chrissyfreeMD Why is this a question at all? Physicians are not the only highly trained healthcare professionals. Pharmacy has residents. Pharmacy residency programs have been around for decades.
@MidlevelCare Collaborate Care is the best model. It includes all the professionals that doctors accuse of encroachment. A restructuring of healthcare management is appropriate, and doctors are resistant…not always for the right reasons. Sorry not sorry for calling too many of them out on it.
@MidlevelCare Then, the doctors must, as an advocate of health equity, refer, as appropriate, to specialties such as PharmD for med mgmt or RD for diet, etc. Doctors must walk the walk & talk the talk if anyone other than their own kind is to agree- or they just appear to be complainers.
