Managing Medications During Ramadan
The Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences is committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive community. This three-part series will focus on Muslim patients and what healthcare providers need to consider when it comes to fasting practices during the holy month of Ramadan.
Medical Cannabis for Health Care Providers
Medical cannabis is legalized in 36 states, the District of Columbia and four U.S. territories. Twelve other states have laws that limit tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content, for the purpose of allowing access to products that are rich in cannabidiol (CBD), another component of cannabis. While recreational cannabis is legalized in 18 states, the focus on the modules is on medical cannabis efficacy and safety.
Integrative Health and Natural Wellness
Integrative health has a rich global history and plays a crucial role in complementing traditional Western Medicine today. Pharmacists, as front-line healthcare providers, often face inquiries about the safety, efficacy, and usage of herbal supplements. This three-part series aims to help busy professionals identify reliable sources of dietary supplement information, and herbal remedies offering appropriate cautions for drug-supplement interactions and considerations for special or vulnerable populations.
Motivational Interviewing with Patient Scenarios
Motivational interviewing (MI) is essential for pharmacists as it enhances medication adherence, improves patient health outcomes, and fosters a trusting patient-provider relationship. By using MI, pharmacists can effectively explore patients' concerns and motivations, addressing issues such as fear of side effects, cost barriers, and lifestyle challenges in a compassionate, patient-centered manner.
OpenEvidence: A Sledgehammer in the AI Toolbox?
Artificial intelligence–enabled tools are rapidly becoming integrated into the medical literature and clinical decision-making landscape. As these technologies continue to evolve, pharmacists play a critical role in assessing the reliability, validity, and appropriate use of AI-generated information before applying it in patient care or professional collaboration.
