In this episode, we talk about overload and bloat. We've got far too much material to cover and not enough time to cover it. We've got too many things to accomplish, and not enough resources to accomplish them! Our natural tendency is ADD when addressing a problem rather than subtracting, simplifying, or streamlining. Subtracting isn't always the best solution, but we should routinely consider it.
Special Guest: Jennifer Trujillo, PharmD, Professor, Department of Pharmacy Practice, Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Colorado and Chair (2021-2022), AACP Council of Faculty
