Another one of my colleagues took a nice, cushy MSL job and I just met a new staff pharmacist at my 🏥 who is PGY2 CC-trained and doesn’t WANT to do clinical anymore. At 36, I’m now the “old” one amongst our clinical pharmacist. It’s led me to reflect on why that is. A 🧵: (1/)

As an EM pharmacist, I take every opportunity to say I’m… a pharmacist, not a doctor, though sure we have a doctorate. This line of thinking is not only untrue, it feeds divisive the @AmerMedicalAssn scope creep narrative & works against our goals at the bedside #TwitteRx

The elitist attitude & lack of multidisciplinary involvement are holding EM professional organizations back. I completed a PHARMACY residency & now train PHARMACY residents. We’re not trying to be physicians; the level of training intensity can only be explained as a residency.

For starters, it’s really hard to be on service constantly. Our physician colleagues often get time off-service, but it’s rare in clinical pharmacist positions. It’s hard to balance (and excel!) at non-stop patient care, admin tasks, teaching, research, etc. long term. (3/)

Thanks to @ACCP for putting members’ safety first and moving to a virtual option. I appreciate that I don’t have to weigh the opportunity to speak against the safety of my unvaccinated 👦👦. Looking at you next @ASHPOfficial 👀 #TwitteRx
