🍷 #Alcohol use in the U.S. recently hit a record low: just 54% of adults drink. Our K12 Program director, Ellen Burnham, MD, of @cupaccm.bsky.social and @cumedicalschool.bsky.social talks about factors that could be contributing to this shift.

More and More Americans Are Forgoing Alcohol. Why?

The percentage of adults in the U.S. who report drinking alcohol is at a record low, according to a new poll.

In light of Paul Offit, MD, being fired from the FDA’s advisory committee on vaccines, as well as Florida’s decision to end school vaccine mandates, we are re-releasing this vital episode on the importance of vaccines featuring Dr. Offit and Tina Hartert, MD, MPH.

Andrea Sikora, PharmD, joins @drugtopics.bsky.social to discuss new ICU guidelines that formally recognize pharmacists as essential care team members. In this podcast, she shares how the guidelines could reshape pharmacy practice across health care.

🎧 Listen here: https://bit.ly/41ORE4e

What New ICU Guidelines Mean for the Pharmacist Profession

While the new guidelines are reserved for critical care pharmacists in the ICU, they can be applied to other practice areas, highlighting the crucial role pharmacists play in health care.
