Episode 91 - Iowa Advances Pharmacy with Dr. Brett Barker

Political Pharmacist Podcast

Dr. Brett Barker joins the podcast to discuss a recent bill the Iowa legislature passed that would allow for pharmacists to enter into better collaborative practice agreements with other healthcare providers, which makes a huge step in bring healthcare access to the state. This bill even got a huge signing in the governor's office! We also dive into a litany of other topics as Dr. Barker has been a supporter of the podcast since before it's inception and a great advocate for pharmacy with all he does. I highly hope people can listen and learn from him on this episode.
