Summary

In this introduction episode of Real Life Pharmacology, I discuss the two major reasons why I wanted to start this podcast. I also share a little bit about my background which you can also find here.

Reason 1: I want to help young healthcare professionals by providing an alternative option to help them learn pharmacology.

Reason 2: I have had professors in college that don't practice in the real world and really have a tough time relaying important and relevant clinical information. I wanted a way to share some of my experiences as a clinical pharmacist, which I believe will help you provide better care for your patients.

2:16.6	very long time. And I remember being taught examples about
2:21.6	reserpine and metaproteranol. Okay, these are our two drugs that I've, honestly, I don't think
