Reimagining Renal Assessment: Pros and Cons - Ep 182
1w ago00:37:40Tap to summarizeJACCP associate editor and host, Erica Ernst, interviews Drs. Wendy St. Peter and Barbara Zarowitz discuss adopting race-free estimated GFR (CKD-EPI) for medication-related kidney function assessment in older adults and other patient populations, as well as moving away from the Cockcroft–Gault equation. The discussion highlights deficiencies and variabilityin Cockcroft–Gault use, emerging studies where BSA-adjusted eGFR better predicts drug clearance, barriers to cystatin C access and Medicare coverage, and the need for further research, electronic health record integration, and advocacy across organizations.

Navigating Cardiotoxicity in Modern Cancer Therapy - Ep 181
4w ago00:33:16Tap to summarizeIn this episode, Pharmacotherapy scientific editor Jim Koeller interviews hematology-oncology specialist Dennis Marjoncu about Dr. Marjoncu's narrative review article “Cancer Therapy-Induced Cardiotoxicity”. They discuss how cardiotoxicity concerns have expanded beyond anthracyclines. They review cardiotoxicity types, monitoring approaches, management principles, drug-interaction considerations, limited prevention data, guideline gaps, and the need for better risk stratification and trial-based cardiac data.

High-Value Interventions Primary Care Practices Might Be Overlooking: Clinical Pharmacy Services – Ep 180
Apr 700:35:31Tap to summarizeThis podcast episode features an interview with Russell Phillips, Amie Pollack, and Dru Ricci from the Center for Primary Care at Harvard Medical School and authors of the Primary Care Investment Guide, with special guest, Todd Sorensen from the University of Minnesota College of Pharmacy. The Primary Care Investment Guide advocates for the integration of clinical pharmacists into primary care teams. The authors explain that their research used a mixed-methods approach, interviewing healthcare leaders from five states and conducting literature reviews, to identify sustainable strategies in primary care settings that enhance patient outcomes and reduce costs. Their findings highlight that clinical pharmacists provide a significant return on investment by managing chronic diseases, optimizing medications, improving medication access, and decreasing hospitalizations. The discussion emphasizes that successful integration can be facilitated by payment reform, moving away from fee-for-service models toward capitated payments and other alternative payment models that support optimal care delivery by primary care teams. Ultimately, the Guide provides a strategic framework for healthcare leaders and policymakers to justify and implement the provision of high-value services in primary care settings. Funding for the Primary Care Investment Guide was provided by The Commonwealth Fund and the California Health Care Foundation.

Enhancing Pharmacotherapy Through Artificial Intelligence: From Prediction Models to Practice – Ep 179
Mar 2500:23:52Tap to summarizeIn this episode of the Pharmacotherapy Podcast, host Dr. Lindsay DeVane speaks with Dr. William Baker and Dr. Alexandre Chan, guest editors of a themed issue on artificial intelligence (AI) in pharmacotherapy. The discussion explores how AI—particularly machine learning and large language models—isbeing used to predict drug response, improve safety, and streamline research and clinical workflows across diverse therapeutic areas. The guests address common concerns about trust, transparency, and clinician autonomy, emphasizingAI’s role as a supportive “copilot” rather than a replacement for clinical judgment. They also highlight current gaps and future opportunities, including pharmacogenomics, imaging data, and patient-reported outcomes, and offer practical advice for trainees and researchers seeking to build AI literacy through a combination of conceptual understanding, short courses, andcollaborative learning.

Thinking Like Tree Farmers Not Muffin Makers: Why We Need a Competency-based Framework at all Levels of Professional Education - Ep 177
Feb 1600:25:45Tap to summarizeIn this episode of the JACCP podcast, Dr. Stuart Haines talks with Dr. Denise Rhoney and Dr. Aleda Chen about their provocative editorial, "Thinking Like Tree Farmers, Not Muffin Makers". The group critiques the traditional "baker" model of pharmacy education, which relies on standardized time-based ingredients like credit hours and fixed-length residencies. They argue for a shift to Competency-Based Education (CBE), a learner-centered approach in which progression is determined by demonstrated ability rather than by the clock. By comparing educators to tree farmers who must nurture individual growth through longitudinal assessment and feedback, the group explains how this philosophical shift can improve public accountability and ensure every pharmacist is truly ready for practice.

An Aging HIV+ Population: The Urgent Need (and Opportunities) for HIV-trained Pharmacists - Ep 176
Jan 1500:22:01Tap to summarizeIn this episode, Stuart Haines and Jennifer Cocohoba discussed the "unmet needs" of HIV care with Radhika Polisetty and Kristy Shaeer, the lead authors of the HIV PRN Opinion paper published in JACCP. The success of antiretroviral therapy has led to an aging HIV population with multiple comorbidities and complex medication regimens. The guests outline a vision for a tiered competency-based education and training system and emphasize the pharmacist's vital role in education, research, and health policy. This episode serves as a powerful call for advocacy to ensure sustainable, pharmacist-provided HIV care and expanded access to therapies, like PrEP and injectable antiretrovirals.

The Missing Piece: Recasting Pharmacists in Popular Media - Ep 174
Dec 1600:22:05Tap to summarizeIn this episode of the JACCP Podcast, Drs. Alex Kim, Michael Behal, and Heather Blue discuss with host Stuart T. Haines how pharmacists are portrayed, or often not portrayed, in mass media like TV and movies. A recent study documented that between 2013 and 2023, pharmacist characters (47%) were negatively portrayed, and the majority (59%) had no significant impact on the plot. Furthermore, medical dramas often omit pharmacists from their cast of characters, despite their critical role in real-world settings. The guests argue that increased advocacy is needed to better inform the public and media about the diverse clinical roles that pharmacists play and the valuable contributions they make to patient care.
