Starting R1 this July? We've got your back. This episode kicks off our Day 1 Allies series, a campaign to support new residents as they join the clinical team. We're starting with a vital but sometimes misunderstood member of the healthcare team: the pharmacist. Host Cameron Wong, MD (congrats to him as he begins R1!) sits down with Clement Chan, PharmD ACPR, to explore how pharmacists support residents, collaborate on patient care, and bring clinical expertise to the bedside. Fun fact: Clement and Cameron met on a rotation, and the experience left a big impression. In this episode, we answer some big questions: What exactly does a pharmacist do in a hospital setting? Do pharmacists see patients directly? How do they help residents succeed, especially in those high-stress early days? And yes… do they actually know every drug (and colour)? Key takeaway: Ask your pharmacist questions. Ask for help. They want you to succeed... because when residents succeed, so do patients.    If you're starting a Royal College accredited residency, don't forget to join as a Resident Affiliate!
