On today's episode, host Ellie LaNou, BPS Director of Professional Affairs, is joined by Rosana Steavenson, a board-certified pharmacotherapy specialist and board-certified psychiatric pharmacist at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Their discussion dives into Rosana's experience with credentialing and privileging at the VA, the role of board certification in gaining and maintaining a scope of practice, and Rosana’s vision for other institutions to implement credentialing and privileging processes, allowing qualified pharmacists to practice at advanced levels.
