Academic Detailing, Opioid Safety and the Pharmacist | University of Illinois Chicago School of Pharmacy

We thought it would be beneficial to have a brief introduction to the concept of acadmic detailing (AD) and the evidence that supports AD. We also would like to briefly discuss our group (IL ADVANCE). We would introduce the structure of an AD visit leading into the specific opioid safety program for pharmacists. After identifying our topics we thought we could get into more detail about a couple, specifically special populations and OUD. We then would move on to the benefits of AD for the community pharmacist. We could then get into more detail about the IL ADVANCE team and the process for developing content.  Next would be conclusions and wrap up.

Insights into the (GCT) Gene/Cell Therapy market & challenges facing market entrants and commercialization | Ascella Health

Continuing advances in cell and gene therapy (CGT) are transforming the pharmacy and point of care ecosystem. Recent launches of new CGTs have yielded mixed results on getting the right therapy to the right patients.  The CGTs pipeline and approvals are likely to rise dramatically in the near future. In 2024 alone, up to 21 cell therapy launches and as many as 31 gene therapy launches are on the horizon. Therefore, the launch readiness for these products should be effective so that the therapies can benefit as many patients as possible while ensuring a sufficient return on manufacturers’ investments. With so many new CGTs poised for commercialization, it’s imperative to consider innovative ways for a product launch that benefits CGTs patients. Ensuring that the market, the product, and the company itself are fully prepared for an effective launch will enable success.

Titans for PBM Reform: Loretta Boesing & Antonio Ciaccia | PBM Reform

From Soulless Career to Heartful Parenting w/ Ziba Ansari-Orlando | The Holistic Pharmacy Podcast

Hey everyone! I’m psyched to present this next guest as we had so many parallel “aha” moments about life, parenting, and spirituality - and we hope those of you listening will get to experience them as well. Ziba Ansari, a pharmacist with a seventeen-year career, found her soul beginning to shift towards spending more time at home with her daughter when she was born. To accommodate this change, she transitioned to a per diem hospital job, which proved advantageous during the pandemic years. Amidst the stressors at work, Ziba purposefully crafted a peaceful and connected life at home, reflecting the world she desired to live in. During this transformative journey, a profound insight emerged within Ziba. She realized her passion lay in working with parents and helping children become the best versions of themselves. Inspired by her daughter and her deep spiritual connection, Ziba embarked on writing a book called "The ABCs of Life to Nourish the Mind and Soul of Children," self-publishing it in December 2021. Her daughter became both the wellspring of inspiration and a conduit to higher dimensions. Ziba's path then led her to become a yoga instructor, delving into the realms of Energy Medicine Yoga (EMYoga). Ultimately, her journey culminated in earning certification as a parent coach. By seamlessly blending her background in pharmacy, her expertise in Energy Medicine Yoga, and her years of spiritual practice, Ziba connected the dots between parenting, yoga, and a heart-centered approach to life. This synergy birthed her vision and prompted her to found "A Heartful Path." This platform serves as the intersection where parents can cultivate self-care and subsequently nurture their children from a place of authenticity and love. Ziba understood the importance of providing parents with a holistic approach to raising their children. By offering comprehensive support for the well-being of parents, the challenging task of caring for their offspring becomes more tangible and comprehensible. Just as a marathon runner needs to have nourishment, sleep and a strong mindset, so too does a parent taking care of his or her children. “Parenting has its joy and also comes with its set of difficulties. Don't give up on yourself, and model what you want as much as feasible. Children are sponges and if we can have them soak up positivity, we know we have already made one successful stride. In times we mess up, which we all will go through at some point, don't blame or shame yourself, do what comes hard for most of us and comfort, support and be gentle to yourself. This process is sometimes the hardest, and as we do more of this we can be there for our children. Optimally our health is paramount to not only our longevity but also the health, wellbeing, and connections we create with our children. I would like to offer a program to parents that take into account the mind, body and soul, and incorporate yoga (for adults and kids), meditation, as well as coaching. I support the use of soulful medicine, versus pharmaceutical medicine for working through life's struggles.” -Ziba Ansari Connect with Ziba via: Website: www.aheartfulpath.com IG @aheartfulpath FB: A Heartful Path Email: Ziba.aheartfulpath@gmail.com Special offers for podcast listeners: Any opportunity to help any parents would be my honor. Right now I am offering 50% off all consultations or packages and the best way to get started is to go to my website (www.aheartfulpath.com) and send me a message on the contact page. We can work together to create a package that works for your family ranging from one consultation visit that covers (yoga, meditation, and coaching tools) to get you started and we can add more sessions as it seems right for your family. I'm also offering a four-class Energy Medicine Yoga series. This is ideal for anyone who is new to this area of EMYoga and wants to learn and incorporate it into their day to day. This four-hour zoom call packet is offered at $99 which spans four weeks and teaches energy techniques, combined with asanas that help increase your vitality, improve focus, bowel movements and sleep to name a few of the many benefits. Anyone signing up for one of these two offerings will receive an autographed copy of my book as a special free gift of gratitude.
