Episode 192 - What Can EMS Learn From An Emergency Pharmacist? - Part 1

One of our major 2026 clinical and educational focus areas here at MCHD is medication error reduction. While medication errors are complex and have no simple solution, recognizing the issue is the initial step in changing culture. We're lucky to have a special guest with a unique perspective on this episode. Kevin Mercer, an emergency department pharmacist, joins Dr. Patrick to discuss all things medication administration. The episode went so well, we had to create a two-part series! REFERENCES 1.
