The Opioid Crisis, with Dr. Neil MacKinnon, PhD Beyond Bias: The Open-Minded Perspective Podcast

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Neil MacKinnon, PhD, Provost of Augusta University. A pharmacist, Provost MacKinnon has practiced in both the community and hospital settings. He is a fellow and a past president of the Canadian Society of Hospital Pharmacists. In 2010, he co-authored a national bestselling book in Canada with a primary care physician called Take As Directed. His fourth book, on the opioid crisis, will be published in late 2021.

Before the COVID-19 Pandemic struck, most of the US was focusing on what was, at the time, the most pressing public health issue: the opioid epidemic. Dr. MacKinnon and Dr. Albert discuss this crisis in the US, concentrating on what it is, why it is such an epidemic, as well as what can be done to alleviate the crisis.

Thank you, Dr. MacKinnon!
