   Episode 31: “Making Evidence Matter: Detailing in a Complex Landscape”

   How can we meet clinicians where they are while helping move evidence into practice? Join us for a conversation with Megan Pruitt, Director of the SCORxE Academic Detailing Service at the Medical University of South Carolina. Megan shares her journey into academic detailing, how SCORxE tailors its approach to the needs of clinicians in South Carolina, and what she’s learned about building trust, supporting detailers, and translating evidence into meaningful change—especially in today’s complex healthcare landscape. We also look ahead to her upcoming session at the NaRCAD Conference in November.

   Episode 29: “Beyond the Scale: Advancing Compassionate, Evidence-Based Obesity Care”

   When it comes to obesity, how can we shift the conversation from individual choices to recognizing and treating it as a chronic medical condition? Empathy, evidence, and personalized clinician education are reshaping obesity care. We explore the evolution of obesity as a complex chronic disease, strategies for addressing weight bias and stigma in healthcare, and why creating a trusting, supportive environment for patients is just as essential as staying current with the latest clinical evidence. Guest: Silvana Ferrara, RPh, Academic Detailer, Centre for Effective Practice
