Pharmacists receive the most extensive medication experience out of any healthcare professional. Much of the profession’s recent growth has been in areas that allow this expertise to be leveraged alongside key communication skills. Pharmacists are increasingly involved in helping to influence medication prescribing to align with current medical literature and guidelines. One tool that can be utilized by pharmacists to promote these efforts is academic detailing, an educational outreach process that involves face-to-face interaction with and education of prescribers.

In this episode of DISRxUPT, we welcome Cedarville University alumna, Dr. Stephanie Tubb, who provides academic detailing as a clinical pharmacy specialist and works as an ambulatory care pharmacist in the women's primary care clinic at the Dayton VA Medical Center. She also serves as assistant professor of pharmacy practice for the Cedarville University School of Pharmacy. Tune in as she discusses the importance of academic detailing in her role as a pharmacist.
