The cardiometabolic syndrome is a concept recently developed by the American Heart Association to denote the totality of risk in a patient with risk factors that may lead to or worsen chronic kidney disease or cardiovascular events. A new validated scoring system has been endorsed by AHA to better assess the short and long-term risk for these in the general population.  We will discuss this scoring system in this podcast.

Insulin icodec is the first class of long-acting insulin to be administered only once a week. Join host, Jen Moulton, as she discusses the safety and efficacy of insulin icodec with guest, Geoff Wall.

The GameChanger
Insulin icodec is the first of the ultra long-acting insulins with once weekly dosing. Multiple clinical studies have suggested these pharmacokinetics work. A new meta-analysis suggests that insulin icodec is more effective than other basal insulins and at least as safe concerning hypoglycemia.

Communication is ‘an essential duty’ of a pharmacist and the cornerstone of quality patient care. And yet, it continues to be one of the most common frustrations reported by preceptors when working with students and residents. Many factors may be at play, including a pandemic, as well as a digital society where so much communication happens in quick, abbreviated bytes.

On this episode, guest Christine Klein reminds us of the many facets of communication, the complex range of reasons some students and residents may struggle, and how we as mentors and teachers can support their development in this area effectively.
