APhA in action with WebMD

To spot an APhA member in action as the medication expert on the health care team, all you have to do is take a look at WebMD, the highly popular website for health information.

APhA has once again teamed up with WebMD for “Ask the Pharmacist,” part of WebMD’s “Ask the Specialist” series. This series consists of 10 pretaped video webcasts with a 30-minute live chat component, and the topics are preselected based on questions from WebMD’s vast online community.

Who’s the pharmacist for this series? None other than APhA member Macary Weck Marciniak, PharmD, BCPS, FAPhA, Clinical Associate Professor and Assistant Director of the Community Pharmacy Residency Program in the Eshelman School of Pharmacy at the University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill.

The first time we did this with WebMD, APhA Senior Director of Corporate Alliances Kristen Binaso was our expert.

The series is running from April 19 to November 8 on the following schedule:

April 19: “Can I Take This With That?”
April 26: “Women’s Health Issues”
May 10: “Moms and Newborn Babies”
June 14: “Pregnancy Dos and Don’ts”
July 12: “Common Drug Questions”
September 6: “Pain Relief Drugs”
September 20: “Headache Medications”
