Jacqueline S. Marinac, BS, PharmD

This course was created by a clinical pharmacist. I have spent 30+ years as a clinician, educator and researcher.   I have watched patients, families and caregivers suffer when they can't afford or are denied access to prescribed medications.   HCPs spend hours on medication access issues.  As a result, the become frustrated, burnt out and leave medicine  due to heavy administrative burden.  This has to stop today.  Every module, every citation, every clinical framework  was born from that perspective.  This is the course I wish I had taught. PATIENTS FIRST. ALWAYS.
