I created a list of Emergency Medicine Pharmacists on Twitter a few years back: x.com/i/lists/898889… @ASHP_EMPharm ACCP EMED PRN There are now over 400 (and certainly more)! An amazing group of EM pharmacotherapy experts and excellent clinicians. Let me know who's missing.

Let’s set the record straight. The health care workers taking pics and posting/tweeting about receiving their vaccine aren’t bragging and being boastful about being first. We’re saying we trust science. We’re grateful for the glimmer of hope in this pandemic, 1/x

Congratulations to Kyle Hedquist, PharmD, BCEMP on completing his PGY2 in Emergency Medicine! We will miss you!

Be sure to check out the EM Pearls session at ASHP Midyear! There are some really great topics this year, including a pearl on thrombolytics in cardiac arrest presented by yours truly.

I've presented a clinical pearl several times now. This is a fun, low commitment way to increase your involvement with ASHP. If you're on the fence...just go for it! You won't regret it!
