Webinar Information:

Tina Thornhill, PharmD, FASCP, BCGP, will present “Utilizing the Most Accessible Healthcare Professional in the Management of Osteoarthritis.” Pharmacists are uniquely positioned to play an active role in the detection, prevention, and treatment of OA. Whether it is in a community, hospital, or long-term care setting, the pharmacist is equipped with information that can help to reduce the complications associated with OA (e.g., pain, falls, and disability). The pharmacist can be a viable resource and assist other healthcare providers in the management of OA and other concomitant comorbidities.
