Innovative. Compassionate. Future-focused. Those three words characterize Rina Shah, Pharm.D., and what she wants for her patients, for the care Walgreens delivers and for the industry at large.
In this episode, Dr. Shah, Group Vice President of Pharmacy of the Future and Segment Strategy at Walgreens, shares her vision of pharmacy’s future. The topic couldn’t be more timely: The Association of American Medical Colleges estimates that by 2034, the United States will face a shortage of up to 124,000 physicians—and pharmacists may be able to help. They are particularly well-positioned to fill gaps in care thanks to their ubiquity in communities across the nation. But that’s only if pharmacists can get the time, tools and support they need. Hear how Walgreens, under Dr. Shah’s leadership, is fighting to address care gaps in the communities they serve.
