  • Now I understand

    There is a lot of contradictory information about certain medications in the podcast world. I was looking to better understand a medication I have recently started. While the material was a bit in depth, as a lay person I found it very clear and thorough and I came away feeling like an informed patient.

  • Wish I learned about this podcast as a PY1!

    This podcast has been soooo helpful for me as a PY3/4! There are a ton of topics covered in good depth but briefly. Also tons of clinical pearls! Really enjoy listening on my drive to rotations in the morning!

    Just an update now in 2024- still enjoy and appreciate these shows. I’m not quite as frequent a listener but love to pop in during my workout (my drive to work is now only 5 mins) and get some good refreshers on backbone topics of clinical and non clinical pharmacy.

  • Applicable clinical pearls in an entertaining podcast!

    The perfect podcast on my commute to work. I appreciate the engaging conversations, guest speakers, and applicable clinical pearls. Being on the inpatient clinical side of pharmacy, I’ve been able to refresh on a lot of commonly seen clinical topics by tuning in to these podcasts. So proud of this podcasts growth, and always proud to be a RFU COP alum ♥️
