The Edutainer with Dr. Erin L. Albert

Congratulations to the class of 2020!

I have a small gift for you, since you kind of got gypped a bunch this year. You can download my latest ebook for free right now as my graduation gift, since we couldn't be together this year to see you in your HP garb. Just go to this link: https://payhip.com/b/6Ag8 and in the coupon code section, type in "covidgrad", no quotes, all one word, until June 30, 2020 and receive the free download at no cost to you. That's it. Read my latest collection of essays for free and enjoy. If one grad finds one nugget of something useful in this gift, even better. (And if you already graduated, the code works for you, too. 😉)

Audio of my commencement address is today's podcast - enjoy! And to the #classof2020 - welcome to the real world!!!!

Ladies!

May 10-16, 2020 is National Women's Health Week.

Let's focus on a little self care right now - it's women's health week! And let's be honest, we're all a little more stressed out right now than we should be....

Check out these worksheet with some gentle reminders to get our annual appointment in, talk to our primary care providers, and TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES - because if we can't take care of numero uno, we won't be able to take care of others!

Happy Friday!

We continue in honor of LinkedIn's 17th birthday this week more on the top 50 pharmacist influencers on LinkedIn - what do their certificates and certifications look like? We break it down for all y'all today as maybe a micro-dose of inspiration to further education! (Myself included.)

Have a phenomenal mothers' day weekend!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Why not serve up some more moneyball for social media and pharmacy?

Today, we look at the educational backgrounds of the #Top50 influencers in #pharmacy on LinkedIn. 

A few surprises here!

Self confession: I'm a social media nerd : )

As a founder of Social Media Dames, I've always been fascinated about how healthcare professionals and pharmacists can utilize SM to improve healthcare.

This weekend, our crack team started an analysis of the top 50 pharmacists in our network's key search terms and today, we share some that fell into the top 10. If you want to see more of this data and you're a pharmacist or pharmacy technician, head on over to LinkedIn and join us on the Pharmacy MTMS group for more stats! https://www.linkedin.com/groups/761417/

Have a great week and stay safe out there!

PLEASE NOTE: This is not endorsed by, nor produced by LinkedIn. This is just a study of me, nerding out on social media! ☺️

The FINAL episode - since we're over in the clinical side of the house, we wanted to reach out to a NEW TO THE SHOW guest, Edye Edens, to find out how clinical research has been rolling during #COVID19.

Bio: Joining First Class Solutions, Inc. in 2017, Edye T. Edens serves as Senior Research Compliance Consultant focusing on research compliance and life sciences. Edye is a licensed attorney with an international human rights, ethics, and health law background. Her legal consulting services include, but are not limited to, research administration, healthcare compliance, grants/contracts to IRB, COI, education, privacy, HIPAA, FDA, AAHRPP, misconduct and site-level compliance work as it relates to QA, monitoring, and auditing (particularly oncology). Services provided include education and training, program creation and management, organizational change management, or even as a complete outsourcing solution. Additionally, Ms. Edens regularly publishes articles and speaks at regional and national professional research and compliance association meetings, including HCCA, SCCE, PRIM&R, MAGI, AAHRPP, SPARC, RAPS, and AHLA. Previously, while in-house for a decade at Indiana University, she focused on the role of human rights in health and worked at the Human Subject Offices on both the Bloomington and Indianapolis campuses, the Indianapolis Grant Services office, Clinical Research Compliance Office and the Research Integrity Office aiding in quality assurance and compliance matters including managing accreditations, internal auditing, education and managing consultation projects involving outside entities. In 2016, she became the first Quality and Compliance Manager for the IU Simon Cancer Center over all aspects of compliance related to all clinical trials performed at IUSCC, before departing for the consulting world. Educationally, she completed her MA in International Research Ethics in 2012, and was the program manager for a NIH grant to aid in creating a joint international institutional review board (IRB) in conjunction with IU’s existing Moi University medical school partnership in Kenya and the IU Center for Bioethics, which expanded her ability to consult in compliance matters globally.

Additionally, she teaches at IU’s McKinney School of Law and Fairbanks School  of Public Health in Indianapolis, and oversees the Hall Center for Law and Health’s Externship Program.
