Nowhere is the gap between book learning and clinical practice quite so apparent as in the world of pharmacology. The best medication for Diagnosis X is Drug Y on the boards, but what about when your real-life patient is allergic to that medication? What if they can’t afford it? What if there’s a drug shortage?
We know it’s sometimes challenging to apply academic learning to clinical practice at any stage of our careers. Practical Pharmacology: An Outpatient Audio Course aims to make outpatient prescribing as easy as possible.
The Most Practical Pharmacology Course Around
Here at Hippo Education, we created Practical Pharmacology: An Outpatient Audio Course to bridge the gap between prescribing in academic and clinical settings. It’s hosted by experienced nurse practitioner and educator Katy Vogelaar and presented in the same conversational, engaging style as our beloved monthly medical education podcasts. Listen at home or on the go as seasoned clinicians (pharmacists, physicians, and advanced practice providers) share practical tips you can use in a wide range of clinical scenarios.
This course is packed with clinical pearls covering a wide variety of disease processes. We cover what you need to know before prescribing, how to choose the best agent for your patient, and what types of counseling and follow-up are needed. Some of my favorite prescribing tips from this course include:
- Which medications experts will NEVER prescribe
- How to know if your patient is REALLY allergic to penicillin
- How to get kids to actually take their medication
Written Materials
We want you to have the information you need at your fingertips, so all our audio segments are accompanied by written summaries as well as printable dosing tables and useful charts. It’s never been easier to see your medication options for common conditions at a glance.
