And now on to the show. Welcome to Helix Talk, episode 69. I'm your co-host Dr. Kane.

I'm Dr. Schumann. I'm Dr. Patel. And the title of today's episode is The Pharmacist Must See You Now, a new rule requiring

He's a retail pharmacist in the local area here in the Chicagoland area.

He's actually been a pharmacy manager for just over a year now, and he also is a preceptor

for the College of Pharmacy here. So Dr. Moe, thank you very much for joining us today.

You're welcome. Thank you for the invite.
