Telehealth/digital care – Heroes of Healthcare Podcast

Episode 21: Pharmacology, COVID & the Future of Medical Treatment

Topics covered:

The deeper dives of a doctorate pharmacology program
The pharmacist’s role in COVID treatment
Precision medicine, digital care technology, and the future of medical treatment
Health equity
