13. The Kerfuffle with the AMA // Correcting Pharmacy Misinformation

In this episode, Saley and Thu express frustration with a recent position statement from the American Medical Association that undermines the value of pharmacists' contributions to patient care. They discuss the history of pharmacy scope expansion and efforts to improve access through CLIA-waived testing. Comments from APhA CEO Michael Hogue, who calls out the AMA's "bullying tactics," bring optimism. Saley and Thu encourage listeners to get involved in the conversation and support pharmacists standing up for their profession. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••­­­••••••••••• Chapters Intro 0:00 Upcoming events! 5:00 AMA hits first 9:41 AMA's history 14:25 Pharmacist roles and CLIA waived tests 20:20 False claims about pharmacy education 29:31 False claims about pharmacy roles 33:53 APhA fights back 39:41 Advocating for pharmacy 44:42 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••­­­••••••••••• Follow us on social media ▷Hey Rx Friends, We Got This! https://linktr.ee/HeyrxfriendsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heyrxfriendswgt TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@heyrxfriendswgt YouTube: Hey Friends We Got This ▷Thu https://linktr.ee/empoweredpharmd Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/empowered.pharmd/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tn-empowered-pharmd Substack: https://drthurx.substack.com/ ▷Saley: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reziprep360 LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/straore1 TikTok: www.linkedin.com/in/straore1 Twitter: ReziPrep360 YouTube: @ReziPrep360 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••­­­••••••••••• Business inquiries: [email protected] Disclaimer: All opinions are our own.
