The host — Geoff Wall, PharmD — has the chops, too; he's a professor of pharmacy practice at Drake University.

It covers everything you need to know about compounding GLP-1s, including access, cost, and how shortages come into play. Even better, you might be able to get a half-hour of CPE credit, too!
