Thanks for having me on to talk about the role & evolution of EM pharmacy. I'm grateful for the chance to thoughtfully debate & elevate our profession on EMCrit! Also got to shout out @saemaemp.bsky.social
If you don't have an EM pharmacist, give this a listen to find out why you should!

It was such a joy meeting the University of Toledo #RxSTAT Chapter at the ACCP Annual Meeting!
They’re already building the future of emergency medicine pharmacy, and I can’t wait to see all that they accomplish next.

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.
AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
Impeach the motherfucker.
Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.
Nothing has made me love clinical pharmacy practice more than leaving it full time, taking some time away and coming back part time. This model doesn’t scale well but it makes me hopeful nonetheless.
🎉 Thanks to everyone who joined us for the #AEMP25 business meeting - the first as an ACADEMY!!
👏🏻We are so proud of this group of EM pharmacists who are engaged with AEMP and progressing the role of EM pharmacists!
