Black and Latinx patients bear a disproportionate burden of asthma. Efforts to reduce the morbidity have been mostly unsuccessful, guideline recommendations not based on studies in these populations.
Regardless of practice setting, it is imperative that pharmacists be able to either participate in generating new knowledge or use the ever-expanding body literature guide patient care. However, competing priorities Pharm.D. curricula and residency training programs have resulted limited emphasis on acquiring research scholarly skills. Factors likely contributing this reduced focus include lack curricular postgraduate standards emphasizing development skills, time commit activity,...
Abstract The opioid crisis represents one of the largest failures our current health care system as it continues to claim lives at an unprecedented rate and has caused a devastating range preventable morbidity. Although availability highly potent synthetic opioids amplified urgency for patients communities, this problem evolved over several decades. Pharmacists are in position offer many potential solutions due their widespread accessibility, extensive drug knowledge, integration into...
The impact of resident research publication on early-career success is evaluated.This study included a retrospective cohort pharmacy residents' abstracts presented at the Great Lakes Pharmacy Resident Conference (GLPRC). Published residency projects GLPRC (n = 76) were matched 1:1 to unpublished projects. Residents followed forward for five years identify publications (postresidency positive) versus no negative). following characteristics postresidency publication-positive and...
Abstract Patients moving between health care settings or providers are at increased risk of complications, including unplanned hospital readmissions and medication errors. Several actions must occur in concert with members the team across to ensure coordinated continuous for patients undergoing these transitions (TOC).
