Prickly Pill for the Future of Healthcare

Hi friends, I am Adrijana. I help you, healthcare professionals, stay current by navigating through genomics, biotech, and humanities. At their intersection is PRICKLY PILL . Welcome to its first edition!

We live in a world where medical knowledge doubles every couple of months. As biotechnologies evolve at a dizzying speed, staying on top of the latest advancements is not just a personal choice but a professional must. This newsletter will keep you ahead by ensuring you stay current. I read and research a lot to cut through the fluff, so you don't have to. I mainly write about these four things: 

1. Pharmacogenomics (PGx) - this science of genes and drugs is paving the way for personalized and tailored medicines. As one of the first pharmacogenomics clinical pharmacy specialists in the US, I have seen countless times how genes affect the way we respond to drugs. I share relevant research and clinical pearls.

2. AI in pharmacy and medicine - AI is everywhere you look. But it's more than a trend or a buzzword. It's humanity's great leap forward to personalized, preventative, and curative medicine. We'll explore practical use of AI that are transforming how we do healthcare. I am big on building a relationship with AI tools - expect to see some personal stories and industry insights.

3. Healthcare innovation - hand in hand with the two prior topics, I explore how other emerging technologies, especially digital health, are changing the way we work, interact, live, and heal. My other degree is in healthcare innovation, which has greatly expanded my horizons of what is possible when we work together as patients, providers, payers, etc. I share those with you.

4. Professional and personal development - this is my other passion. I strongly believe in lifelong learning across diverse areas: science, technology, art, etc. Break silos. Share your work. Know your worth. I don't subscribe to a hustle culture. I've been there - it's toxic. Instead, as a life and career coach, I share growth mindset strategies that help me and others stay focused and perform optimally. Notice I am using the present tense. This is a practice that has to be nurtured. It's not easy, but it's where the real magic happens. You discover YOU.

Sending you my best,

Adrijana
