Today On Medical Grounds, we will be speaking with Dr. Heather Whitley. Dr. Whitley is a clinical professor in the Department of Pharmacy Practice at the Auburn University Harrison College of Pharmacy. She is a board certified pharmacotherapy specialist and a certified diabetes educator.

This is part 1 of a two part series. In Part 1, Dr. Whitley will be discussing shortages in GLP-1 agonist drugs for diabetes and what pharmacists can do to address those shortages.
