The AMA says pharmacists expanding into clinical roles is “scope creep”, but what if it’s exactly what patients need? Dr. Tamar Lawful breaks down the truth behind the turf war and how pharmacists are saving lives beyond the counter.


What do you think when you hear “scope creep”?

If you’re a pharmacist, it might sting especially when the American Medical Association says you're stepping out of line for doing what you're trained to do. 

But is it really about patient safety… or professional turf protection?

In this solo episode, Dr. Tamar Lawful peels back the layers on the AMA’s position, shares personal stories from the front lines of pharmacy, and explains why now is the time for pharmacists to stop waiting for permission and start owning their expertise.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

  • Why pharmacists are fully equipped to offer personalized, clinical care
  • The real reason behind the AMA’s pushback on pharmacist-led services
  • How pharmacists are already improving patient outcomes—and the data to prove it

You’ll walk away fired up and ready to advocate for yourself, your patients, and your profession.
