07 Feb 2022Annual Diabetes Update00:30:40

Every January, the American Diabetes Association updates the Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes. The guidelines cover updates from diabetes advocacy to technology changes. Learn what changed and what matters most for individuals with diabetes.

  • Time in range was introduced in the 2021 update and is becoming the standard of glycemic targets and control 
  • Metformin may not be the first line option for type 2 diabetes – comorbid conditions and cost to the patient should be considered when determining appropriate treatment 
  • More data is emerging suggesting the SGLT-2 inhibitors slow progression of diabetic neuropathy, CKD, and other comorbid conditions GLP-1 drugs may also aid in neuropathy
  • In older adults with diabetes, the upper threshold of A1c goal of 8.5% may not be as global as originally thought – glycemic targets should be matched with patient status and factors

14 Feb 2022Semaglutide or Liraglutide for Weight Loss?00:18:13

Weight gain can impact patient’s quality of life and put them at risk for health complications. While weight loss can be an important factor in a patient’s health, it is equally important that it is done safely and effectively. Listen in as host, Geoff Wall compares the safety and efficacy of semaglutide and liraglutide in weight loss. 

The GameChanger:

  • Based on a recent Phase-3 study, semaglutide appears to be more effective in weight loss than liraglutide 
  • Semaglutide also appeared to have modest effects on decreasing systolic blood pressure, blood sugar, lipid concentrations, and serum insulin levels
  • GLP-1 agonists are expensive medications – patients should be made aware of the of the associated cost as a part of patient centered care

25 Mar 2022Pharmacy Isn't a Vending Machine00:26:04

Are you still using post-it notes, clips, and stickers to facilitate your Pharmacy's workflow? You aren't alone - many of us are using tactile tools to run our pharmacies. Even if you are leveraging technology, can you confidently say you are maximizing it? 

We've come to the point that maximizing technology isn't a choice; it's necessary to save our profession. This episode digs into what pharmacy practice should look like - centering dispensing on the knowledge the pharmacist provides which both maximizes outcomes and ensures safe medication use. 

In this episode, Community Pharmacist Joe Williams shares his thoughts on the type of pharmacy practice we need to implement to save our profession.  As much as technology supports practice, it doesn't remove the human element. Learn how putting the pharmacist at the center of dispensing can be done through technology.

5:30 - Pharmacies aren’t just vending machines

9:58 - The biggest mistake our profession has made…and what we need to do

23 Mar 2022Failure to Fail00:19:25

Perhaps one of the greatest challenges a preceptor has is that of honestly evaluating poor performance in a way that will help get the student either back on track, or connected to the help and support they need, depending on the specific performance issue or issues they are exhibiting. It sounds cold, but in experiential education it has been said more often than once – that sometimes you just have to fail a student for their own benefit and ultimate success. Those conversations are heartbreaking – for the preceptor, for the school’s staff – and most importantly for the students. Listen in as Dr. Lisa Richter and Dr. Kate Newman discuss the evidence and importance of failure in supporting student development.

11 Apr 2022Switching Generics with Levothyroxine00:26:00

Current guidelines do not recommend switching between different levothyroxine products due to concerns of potential changes in TSH levels. However, getting the same levothyroxine product every time may be difficult for patients due to financial or stocking constraints. Join your host, Geoff Wall, and guest, Dr. Jamie Pitlick to discuss a recent study that examined the consequences of switching between levothyroxine products.

18 Apr 2022Corticosteroids in Septic Shock00:20:18

Septic shock is one of the most common causes of deaths in critically ill patients. The updated Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines provide recommendations on the use of adjunct steroids in the treatment of sepsis. However, when to start corticosteroids is still unknown – or is it? This episode of GameChangers evaluates the timing of corticosteroid use in sepsis.

25 Apr 2022Reliever Inhaled Glucocorticoid Treatment00:29:23

Reliever Inhaled Glucocorticoid Treatment

Black and Latinx patients are disproportionately impacted by asthma. In fact, asthma mortality rates are twice as high in Black patients compared to White patients. Are there different treatment options to help improve mortality in these populations? Join host Geoff Wall with guest Dr. Matt Trump as they discuss the PREPARE trial.

The GameChanger
Emerging data suggests that using a bronchodilator with an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) may improve asthma exacerbation symptoms in diverse patient populations. This is contrary to current standards of care that encourage the use of a short-acting bronchodilator alone.

09 May 2022Sodium Reduction in Heart Failure00:23:35
A low salt diet can be difficult to maintain, especially in the United States. Multiple guidelines and decades of practice have suggested dietary limitation of sodium for patients with heart failure as an essential lifestyle modification. The recently published SODIUM-HF study evaluates this recommendation and enhances the data.

The GameChanger

While a 20-25% reduction in serum sodium may not improve rates of hospitalization or mortality, it may improve a patient’s quality of life. Patients should be educated on how reducing sodium in their diet may improve their symptoms and increase their quality of life.

13 Jun 2022A Primer for Gender Affirming Care00:24:45

Transgender individuals are more likely to receive unequal care and are less likely in general to seek care or preventative services. Often, they are even relied upon to educate their own providers on the basic tenets of transgender care. Healthcare providers can better serve these patients through an interprofessional approach to comprehensive, respectful, and gender-affirming support. Listen in to this week’s episode as Dr. Anisa Hansen describes important steps we can take to have a positive impact on the health of this patient population.

The GameChanger
Just like any other therapy, gender-affirming therapy should be patient-focused, with the patient's goals in mind. Healthcare providers will continue to be called upon to safely monitor these therapies and support their patients. The first and most important step is making a welcoming environment for patients and being both knowledgeable and open to how to best support and treat each patient.

20 Jun 2022The Role of ApoB in Cardiovascular Disease00:30:04

Adequate risk assessment and management are crucial in preventing cardiovascular disease. A recent study examined the correlation between common measures of cholesterol concentration versus the number of apolipoprotein B (apo-B)-containing lipoproteins. In other words, should clinicians use different biomarkers for cardiovascular risk assessment? Cardiology Pharmacist, Lindsay Davis, joins Geoff Wall in this discussion.

The GameChanger 
Evidence is emerging to suggest apo-B is a more accurate biomarker of MI risk. While not routinely evaluated, apo-B is a GameChanger in that it can be helpful in determining cardiovascular risk in patients with borderline risk factors.

11 Jul 2022Updates on Oral COVID Therapy00:32:37

Nirmatrelvir-Ritonavir continues to be recommended for outpatient treatment of COVID-19 infections, especially as cases continue to rise. However, this therapy does present clinical challenges – from drug interactions to off-label dosing and rebound COVID-19 infections, therapy is not as easy as it sounds. Listen as host Geoff Wall describes the clinical challenges and guest Jake Galdo describes the public health considerations for nirmatrelvir-ritonavir use.

The GameChanger 
Nirmatrelvir-ritonavir has significant clinical challenges including various drug interactions with DOACs, statins, amiodarone, and tacrolimus, for example. It’s also important to note that COVID-19 rebound after nirmatrelvir-ritonavir is not due to resistance based on the latest data.

18 Jul 2022Treating Breast Cancer with Metformin00:22:49

Several large observational studies have suggested metformin has anti-tumor effects and may be beneficial as an adjunctive treatment option for breast cancer. This hypothesis was tested by a randomized clinical trial recently published. Listen to host Geoff Wall discuss if metformin is a miracle drug. 

The GameChanger 

Metformin can alter insulin signaling which is crucial for the development of certain types of cancer cells. Thus, in various observational and pre-clinical studies, metformin has been associated with better outcomes in breast cancer, usually in patients with diabetes. A recently published RCT found no benefit of taking adjunctive metformin in patients with breast cancer and no diabetes.

01 Aug 2022Calculating Kidney Function for Patients of All Races00:22:14

Calculating an accurate renal function in patients is crucial to ensure the right dose gets to the right patient. Previous equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate depended on a race variable. However, recent data suggests this underestimates the risk of chronic kidney disease in black patients. In this episode, host Geoff Wall discusses different methods to calculate kidney function and the relationship between mortality, kidney failure, and race 

The GameChanger 

The newly proposed eGFRcr-cys equation was the most accurate in estimating the relationship of GFR to poor outcomes regardless of race. However, even with this equation, black patients were almost uniformly found to have poorer outcomes than non-black patients

08 Aug 2022USPSTF Recommendations of Vitamins and Minerals00:24:33

The United States Preventative Services Task Force issued new recommendations for the use of vitamins, minerals, and multivitamins for the prevention of cardiovascular disease and cancer. This is a revision from the 2014 recommendations and is based on recent data. Host Geoff Wall will provide a review of the recommendations – and evidence on these over-the-counter products.

The GameChanger 
Based on the new USPSTF recommendations, most vitamins and supplements have insufficient data to determine their benefits versus harm. However, the USPSTF recommends against the use of beta carotene or vitamin E supplementation for the prevention of cancer or cardiovascular disease.

15 Aug 2022IBS Guidelines Update00:28:13

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder that greatly affects quality of life. Several medications have been approved for use in IBS – both constipation (IBS-C) and diarrhea (IBS-D). The American Gastroenterological Association just released guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for patients.

The GameChanger 
In the last 10 years several pharmacotherapies have been FDA approved for both constipation IBS-C) and IBS-D. Updated guidelines from the AGA review the literature surrounding these and other therapies for evidenced based guidelines update. For example, secretagogues such as linactolide are now first line treatment after PEG laxatives for IBS-C

22 Aug 2022The Pharmacotherapy of Insomnia00:25:00

Insomnia is a common medical condition treated with a variety of pharmacologic (Rx or OTC) and non-pharmacologic options. Yet, little data exist on long-term efficacy and safety on these treatment options. Join host Geoff Wall as he discusses a recent meta-analysis comparing treatments for insomnia.

The GameChanger

All treatments for insomnia, including melatonergic agonists, have poor tolerability. Eszopiclone may be the best tolerated and effective “Z” medication for treatment of insomnia.

29 Aug 2022Flu Vaccines in Alzheimer’s Disease00:30:54

Vaccine distrust and misinformation is at an all-time high. One claim is that vaccines are responsible for dementias, like Alzheimer’s Disease. A recent database study may show the exact opposite. Join host, Geoff Wall, with guest, Jake Galdo, to discuss the role of vaccines and other therapies in the prevention of Alzheimer’s Disease.

The GameChanger
A recent large propensity matched retrospective database study found that the risk of developing Alzheimer’s Disease was LOWER in persons who received regular influenza vaccines compared to unvaccinated individuals.

19 Sep 2022Pharmacogenomic Selection of Antidepressants00:27:37

Pharmacogenomic testing has been widely available for over a decade to help guide pharmacotherapy including antidepressant selection when treating major depressive disorder. Yet, the data hasn’t substantiated improved safety or efficacy. Host Geoff Wall is joined by Sarah Grady, PharmD to evaluate the PRIME study looking at the role of pharmacogenomic testing in depression.

10 Oct 2022Restrictive versus Standard Fluids in Septic Shock00:25:16

The current standard of care is to provide a bolus of 30 mL per kg of isotonic fluid for patients with septic shock. Recent retrospective studies question this practice. Join host, Geoff Wall, as he reviewed a NEJM article on the role of fluids in septic shock.

The GameChanger
Large boluses of fluid during septic shock may have unintended adverse events. Some data show that an approach with restrictive fluids may have no difference in death or adverse outcomes.

24 Oct 2022Aspirin De-Prescribing in Patients Taking Anticoagulants00:20:30

The role of anticoagulant therapy (warfarin) with antiplatelet therapy (aspirin) is a balance of risk versus benefit. However, reducing risk by de-prescribing is often avoided due to hypothetical efficacy reduction. Join host, Geoff Wall, as he evaluates de-prescribing aspirin in patients taking anticoagulants.

The GameChanger
Anticoagulant therapy provides as good or better protection against vascular outcomes as aspirin – creating duplication of therapy. The increased risk of bleeds may not outweigh the negligible efficacy benefit.

07 Nov 2022An Update on Glucagon00:25:50

Less than ten percent of people filled a glucagon prescription after a hospitalization due to hypoglycemia. In the past few years, a slew of new glucagon products have come to market. Join host, Geoff Wall, as he discusses how to optimize glucagon therapy with diabetes expert, Jamie Pitlick.

The GameChanger
Despite glucagon products being proven safe and effective, they are severely under-prescribed and underutilized.  Patients that are at risk for level 2 or 3 hypoglycemia should be prescribed glucagon.

16 Nov 2022Incorporating Risk Management Principles into Your Teaching00:46:33

Whose job is it to teach risk management principles to pharmacy learners? Sure – they have to take a law course as part of their curricular requirements, but how much does that mean to them until they are in real life situations as part of their IPPEs, APPEs, or residency? As preceptors, it’s important that we not only recognize and manage the legal risks of welcoming pharmacy learners within our pharmacy practice but also that we are prepared to teach practical concepts such as risk management in addition to developing their clinical skills. Listen to this episode where we talk with David Brushwood, a well-known expert, and educator in the practical and professional aspects of risk management and pharmacy law.

21 Dec 2022Help the Hurt - Support Students and Residents Who Experience Microgressions00:19:20

We’ve heard a lot about microaggressions in the past couple of years. A microaggression can include verbal, behavioral, or environmental aggressions that negatively communicate about race, culture, or gender. They can be intentional or unintentional but can negatively impact healthcare interactions – whether those involve students, residents, patients, or all of the above.

In this episode, speaking with Anisa Hansen, a clinical pharmacist who leads diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives for the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences at Drake. Her passion is educating learners on topics in the areas of mental health, LGBTQ health and wellness,  and equity and inclusion. Anisa has first-hand experience supporting students who have experienced microaggressions as part of their pharmacy practice experiences. Listen to learn more about how she has navigated those situations to support students.

18 Jan 2023Asking the Right Questions of Your Students and Residents00:42:08

Sometimes teaching isn't "telling" but "asking" - asking questions that encourage students and residents to problem-solve in a stepwise manner. Listen in as we discuss a teaching strategy that builds confidence and encourages curiosity in your learners.

We’ve all heard students and residents complain about ‘pimping’ from preceptors during rotations or during their residency experience. Pimping has given a bad name to what can truly be a very effective teaching strategy when done right – Socratic Questioning.  

In this month's episode, I’m speaking with Lindsay Davis of Midwestern University – Glendale, and Kevin Carrasco, a preceptor who has jumped on the Socratic Questioning bandwagon after experiencing what a difference it has made in his effectiveness as a preceptor. During our conversation – they debunked many of the assumptions often made about Socratic questioning as a teaching method and also gave some great advice on how to approach this method in a trusting and safe way for learners.

15 Feb 2023What Can You Learn From Your Learners?00:27:26

As preceptors, sometimes one of the hardest things we do is give feedback. What about when we receive it? Listen to learn how to engage students in ways that result in meaningful feedback you can use to improve your teaching. You're putting in the work. Why not make it as impactful as possible for your learners?

This week I’m speaking with Nick Cox – a faculty member and preceptor in an ambulatory care setting – on the topic of feedback – how to invite it, how to prepare to receive it, and what to do with it when you like it – or not. 

 As part of our discussion, Nick refers to this book – Thanks for the Feedback: The Science and Art of Receiving Feedback Well. I’ve read this book, and there’s something in it for everyone – from a teacher, mentor, preceptor, parent, partner, or spouse. Check out the Here!

15 Mar 2023What Do Students Say?00:36:01

Pharmacy learners - IPPE, APPE, Residents - may not always be forthcoming with honest feedback. But they know what they appreciate (or don't) in a learning experience. As a preceptor, your approach to teaching has a huge impact on student learning.

We asked two 4th year pharmacy learners to share what matters most to them in a preceptor. Their answers may surprise you! Listen in to learn what students most value in their learning experiences and gather some strategies you can use to enhance your teaching and mentor in an impactful way for your learners.

13 Feb 2023Thrombolytic Use in Persons with Stroke and Direct Oral Anticoagulants00:27:38

Patient use of any anticoagulation during an acute stroke is a contraindication for the use of thrombolytics or clot busters. Recent meta-analyses and animal studies raise the question of this contraindication. Join guest, Geoff Wall, as he examines the data on Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs) and thrombolytics.

The GameChanger
DOACs have a significantly smaller intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) risk compared to warfarin and this benefit may translate to risk of bleed with thrombolytics. A new study found a numerically decreased risk of ICH in patients with DOACs compared to controls.
