Megan Rech, PharmD, MS, BCPS, BCCCP, FCCM, is an Emergency Medicine Clinical Pharmacist and Research Director of Emergency Medicine at Loyola University Medical Center.

Dr. Rech and colleagues published a recent article in JACCP titled “Premature attrition of clinical pharmacists: call to attention, actions, and potential solutions."

We discuss the paper, reasons for the premature attrition and ways to prevent it. I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation and it made me think we need different practice models in our institutions to retain the talent that is leaving health systems.
