Therapeutic Thursdays: Vaping Epidemic and the Role of the Pharmacist

In the middle of 2019, federal and state entities began investigating a national outbreak of e-cigarette or vaping, product-related lung injury. As more details surrounding this epidemic became available, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a guidance document to health care providers for providing care to patients suspected to be afflicted with this lung injury. This podcast will focus on the pharmacist’s role in these patients and how they can impact patient care moving forward.
