TRC Healthcare and the PQS Quality Corner Show collaborate to produce pharmacy continuing education (CE) podcasts presented in Pharmacist’s Letter
Denver, CO, October 11, 2021 — TRC Healthcare, a top provider of evidence-based medication advisory resources for clinicians announced a partnership with Pharmacy Quality Solutions (PQS), a leading technology provider of pharmacy performance management services.
Along with PQS, TRC Healthcare will offer a pilot program for pharmacy continuing education (CE) through the PQS podcast, the PQS Quality Corner Show. The first podcast episode available for CE debuted August 2021 in TRC Healthcare’s Pharmacist’s Letter.
With the pilot program, TRC Healthcare is exploring expansion of its CE channels with the inclusion of audio podcasts. Listeners of the PQS Quality Corner Show have the ease of podcast learning with the ability to earn CE credits through the Pharmacist’s Letter website.
“Our research has shown that many pharmacists are eager to explore different ways to digest CE content, and podcasts were at the top of the list,” says Wes Crews, CEO of TRC Healthcare.
“PQS is a leader in pharmacy quality and education and has developed a solid podcast listenership. We are very much aligned to make it more convenient for our pharmacy audience to access content on the go. We are excited to work with PQS in this endeavor.”
The first set of episodes available for CE credit covers the topic of immunizations and can be downloaded on all major streaming services.
“In our efforts to make each one of our episodes better than the last, we are pleased to evolve our content in 2021 and work with TRC Healthcare to provide continuing education for pharmacists,” says Quality Corner Show Host and PQS Senior Manager of Pharmacy Accounts, Nick Dorich, PharmD. “As our show has always been about education and improvement on quality, we have purposefully structured our show to follow a CE seminar format where we ask key questions and help our audience learn essential details.”
The second set of episodes covers geriatric care and is available on the Pharmacist’s Letter and the Quality Corner Show.
