    Ep. 11: Mental Health Matters - Destigmatizing Depression on World Mental Health Day 11.10.2021
    Oct 10 2021
    In honor of World Mental Health day, I'm resharing my first ever interview on a the Pharmacy Podcast Network's series titled: Pharmacists focused on Mental Health - David Dent, future PharmD class of 2022 (pt. 2). I hope by sharing my story it helps destigmatize depression among healthcare professionals and helps other pharmacy students be more open about their struggles and encourage others to seek the help they need before it's too late. Here's a quick description of the episode copied from the PPN's show notes, and follow me if you want to stay #AWARxE: beacons.ai/overx.dose "Our 2nd part of the "Pharmacists focused on Mental Health" podcast series featured David Dent, Doctorate of Pharmacy Candidate at Virginia Commonwealth University class of 2022. David is a fellow podcaster and we encourage you to take a listen to his show: OVERxDOSE: A Pharmacy Podcast" -Introduction from: CBS News from September 4, 2020 Concern grows over impact of COVID-19 pandemic on children's mental health

    Ep. 10: De-stigmatizing Mental Health with Social Media w/ Dr. Jake Goodman (@jakegoodmanmd)
    Jul 16 2021
    On episode 10 of my Pharmacy podcast, OVERxDOSE, Dr. Jake Goodman is a resident Physician specializing in Psychiatry with over 1.3 M followers across social media. I met Jake while creating my podcast and instagram (which you should totally follow). I watched how Jake utilized social media and his passion for medicine to raise mental health awareness through creative, educational, and entertaining videos on Instagram and Tik Tok. In the last year, he's amassed over 1 Million followers and at this point, millions of views/likes on his videos, and has successfully adapted at every turn of his social media journey. Learn from us which social media platform you should start on if you plan on creating content, and how to go about growing your following on instagram while maintaining professionalism and staying true to yourself and your mission. We both came from humble beginnings, aim to promote mental health through social media, and help pre-meds and pre-pharms navigate the process of applying to school and how to maintain their sanity while going through professional school. Jake has always been an inspiration and motivation for me to keep creating and I know he will be for you too. So it's with great honor I bring to you, my first ever video recorded episode with Dr. Jake Goodman (@jakegoodmanmd). (This was recorded September 14th, 2020 and I am just now getting to editing it due to another slump I mention early on in the interview.) As always, stay #Healthy💪 stay #AWARxE🥼 and don’t #OVERxDOSE💊 With care, David Dent Follow me on IG and TikTok: @OVERx.DOSE for more Pharmacy content Like and Prescribe to my Channel and to my Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.

Patricia is a 2-time liver transplant recipient at VCUHealth and has made it her mission to clear the transplant waiting list after her life-saving surgery. To do this, she became the Community Education Coordinator at LifeNet Health, an organization providing organ, eye and tissue donation education throughout the community. Their goal is to drive every Virginian to the registry, and OVERxDOSE is more than happy to help them complete their mission by covering some of the myths surrounding organ donation. But, this isn't possible without YOU!

  • Ep. 7: Adapting To Covid 19 Q&A w/ Dr. Waithe (@RxRadio.fm)

    Ep. 7: Adapting To Covid 19 Q&A w/ Dr. Waithe (@RxRadio.fm)
    Apr 29 2020
    In this episode, I got to sit down with Dr. Richard Waithe before he gave a talk on technology in Pharmacy, and personally branding to students of the Student Pharmacist Policy and Advocacy Association at VCU SOP. Before the talk we discussed how he is helping Pharmacy Schools adapt to Covid-19 by offering Virtual APPE's and he answered a few questions near the end that I think will benefit anyone trying to use social media to build a personal brand. The Ad in the beginning is about an initiative started by the National Community Pharmacists Association that is aimed at giving patients and other healthcare professionals a united way to advocate and support legislation for increased PBM oversight. I speak a lot about the importance of advocating for your profession in this mini-series and I can't think of a better way to do that, or a better time than now.

    Ep. 6: Speak Your Pharmacy Truth w/ Norman Nguyen (@thehealthcarescholar)
    Mar 31 2020
    I got a chance to meet and talk with Norman, the content creator behind @thehealthcarescholar. He's another 2nd year pharmacy student passionate about changing the culture of healthcare, who also launched a Podcast at his school. We connected through IG, a connection I never would've made without connecting through this platform. We decided to hit record while we discussed things ranging from how to use social media to connect directly with others, med influencers, the consequences of social media, and our experiences making a podcast. It's all about speaking your pharmacy truth. This is my most informal episode yet, so let me know what you think by rating the episode. If there's enough positive feedback I might do more episodes in this style. Make sure to follow @thehealthcarescholar on all social media (IG, FB, LinkedIn, Youtube, literally everywhere) to keep up with his healthcare podcast and and connect with @normanguuu by contacting him through his IG: @normannguuu.

  • Ep. 5 : Just Go For It w/ Dr. Mike Corvino (@CorConsultRx)

    Ep. 5 : Just Go For It w/ Dr. Mike Corvino (@CorConsultRx)
    Jan 24 2020
    This marks the start of my next mini-series, and the end of my Mental Health Mini-series. (This will probably be my last mini-series for awhile since individual episodes are less time-consuming, and being a second year pharmacy student doesn't give me a whole lot of time to create structure, or eat sometimes. I'm not Wondery, and this isn't Dr. Death... it's better.) Anyways, I'll be covering everything social media, specifically focusing on Pharmacists and Pharmacy students who are using it to share what they are passionate about and connect with others in and outside of their field. In this series, I try dive deeper into origin stories behind some of the larger Pharmacy accounts, and some of the newer ones I've been lucky enough to connect with after starting this podcast. I want to learn why they built their "brands", how it's impacted them personally and professionally, what worked, what didn't, and how social media is changing the profession of Pharmacy as a whole. I hope this series will encourage others who might be interested in starting their own pages to take the first step, be successful, and avoid the pitfalls and speed bumps I, and those I interview, have personally run into. In this episode, I have the pleasure sit down with Dr. Mike Corvino, founder of @CorConsultRx. Mike was one of my inspirations for starting OVERxDOSE and one thing I wanted to expand on that he mentions on his podcast is how there is no better time than now, while in school, to start an account leverage social media in a way that brings value to others. You can tell how nervous I am in the beginning of the episode, but it was really awesome to dive deeper into this topic. We expand on some of the topics he discussed w/ Dr. Adam Martin on The Fit Pharmacist Healthcare Podcast back in 2018. It's a great lesson, and it focuses more on how you can find your angle, find what value you can bring, and use it on social media. Listen at the link below: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fit-pharmacist-healthcare-podcast/id1397266139?i=1000420923806 This episode expands on that, highlights the ups and downs that come with presenting yourself on social media, and focuses more on the personal side of all of it. As always, #stayhealthy and don't #OVERxDOSE. And stay tuned for more episodes in a shorter time frame than before. I'm actually getting better at this interviewing and scheduling them thing.
