APhA President Michael Hogue joins me to discuss the why now is the time for pharmacists, and people who want expanded access to healthcare, to push for provider status for pharmacists.
Dr. Hogue talks about the ins and outs as well as the logistics of how individuals can make a huge impact in getting this to the finish line. This is a super informative episode for those who want to make and see change but might be confused as to how.
