Program Overview 

Recent clinical trials link cardiovascular, metabolic, and renal diseases, challenging the traditional clinician roles in healthcare. Optimal patient care now requires a shared responsibility of medication management between primary care practitioners, cardiologists, endocrinologists, and nephrologists. Pharmacists are uniquely poised to oversee and intervene on medication selection, dosing, and monitoring of patient outcomes. Our program will identify the connections of diabetes-heart failure-kidney disease while exploring the role pharmacists can play in optimizing new therapies.

Agenda
