About Us
What is Pharmacy Friday Pearls?
Pharmacy Friday Pearls were created to provide brief educational content to the busy emergency medicine healthcare provider including EMS, nursing, mid-level providers, medical residents, pharmacists, respiratory therapists, and all other members of the acute care team. Due to the nontraditional working hours and busy nature of the ED, many healthcare members do not have extended periods of time to attend lectures and seminars. The hope is that Pharmacy Friday Pearls provide the opportunity to engage in intellectual conversations to promote the practice of patient-centered and evidence based medicine.
