    • Overview

      In a podcast style discussion, Mike Corvino, PharmD and Cole Swanson, PharmD examine the treatment and management of smoking cessation. Nicotine addiction is the leading cause of preventable death worldwide. Pharmacists and nurses regularly encounter these patients with opportunities for positive intervention. It is important that pharmacists and nurses understand the appropriate use of nicotine replacement therapies as well as other medication options. This session seeks to explore these topics, focusing on how this information can best be incorporated into daily medical practice.
