Long before COVID-19 began ravaging the nation, pharmacists were already on the frontlines of another epidemic: the opioid crisis. In this episode of Beyond the Sig, Brooke Kulusich, a rising third-year student pharmacist at the University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy, chats with Pete Kreckel of Thompson’s Pharmacy, who has garnered nearly 40 years of expertise in providing care to patients in the community, especially to those with substance-use and opioid-use disorders.

They discuss innovations in community pharmacy practice, the essential role of pharmacists, and the new Flip the Pharmacy change package as they relate to opioid dependency.
