Lindsey Amerine

On episode 35 with Dr. Megan Rech we dove into the reasons why clinical pharmacists are leaving health systems and on episode 53 with Dr. Alicia Lichvar we talked about the pressures on clinical pharmacists. This week I sat down with Dr. Bryan McCarthy Jr, System Director of Inpatient Pharmacy at Lifespan, to talk through how they are addressing the need for clinical pharmacist retention through a change in their practice model by including remote clinical pharmacists. You’ll hear how the model works and how it’s impacted their retention!
