Welcome to Helix Talk, an educational podcast for healthcare students and providers covering real-life clinical pearls, professional pharmacy topics, and drug therapy discussions.

This podcast is provided by pharmacists and faculty members at Roslyn Franklin University College of Pharmacy.

And now, on to the show.

Welcome to Helix Talk, Episode 45.

And I'm Dr. Schumann.

And today we have a very special guest with us today, Dr. Lauren Angelo.

Thank you for allowing me to be here today.

And we actually brought you in because we wanted to cover an OTC topic.

And as I'm sure you're familiar with, you are the course director of the self-care course

and the curriculum here at Reslin Franklin University. And one of the reasons

why this is a common topic that gets brought up is that oftentimes in our curriculum and other

pharmacy curriculums, pharmacy students get kind of the OTC care very early on in their pharmacy

career. And then as they kind of approach graduation, many students do end up in a retail-oriented

environment and then they want some of a bit of a review, if you will, of some of these

common OTC ailments and treatments and things like that.

And we hear time and again from our fourth year students that they wish they had more self-care

and OTC later on in the curriculum and be helpful to have updates.

And so I think this is a good opportunity to provide some of that information to that audience.
