This week we had such an informative conversation with Dr. David Choi! Dr. Choi is a Specialty Clinical Pharmacist and the Associate Director of the IBD Center at UChicago. We talked to him about his role as part of the IBD care team and how he plays an important part in patient advocacy and in getting the patient the treatment they and their provider think is best. We discussed his research in pharmacist-initiated interventions and prior authorizations and in other insurance issues in patient care and what they learned from this work. We talked a lot about biologic medications and biosimilars and what patients should know about these options and about switching to one. We also discussed supplements and how your pharmacist can help you figure out what is safe for you to use or what might have medication interactions. Finally we talked to him about training new or more pharmacists to do specialty IBD care and about networking with other IBD Pharmacists through the IBD Pharmacist Network. This was such an interesting conversation and I think you'll learn as much as we did.
