Our host, Dr. Adis Keric, is a Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist and a Board Certified Critical Care pharmacist who currently works in the emergency room and intensive care units at a large, level I trauma center. Adis has more than 8 years of hospital pharmacy experience, including 2 years of residency.
