  • Season 2: Episode 8 - HOT TOPIC: The Clinical Pharmacy Services Debate in Alberta
    Apr 6 2026

    After a short break, the guys are back and they’re diving straight into one of the hottest and most contentious topics in Alberta pharmacy today: clinical pharmacy services. In this episode, we unpack the current billing model, share our concerns about how it’s working (and where it’s falling short), and explore what meaningful improvements could look like. We also talk candidly about the potential impact of funding cuts and what that could mean for pharmacists and patient care across the province. This is a conversation every Alberta pharmacist should be part of, and we hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed making it.
