Clinicians, including doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, are experiencing high levels of burnout due to factors such as high patient volumes and inadequate support systems. This burnout is contributing to shortages of primary care providers. However, there is an opportunity for pharmacists to play a larger role in providing patient care, including administering vaccines and managing chronic conditions. Leveraging technology and empowering pharmacists to collaborate with other healthcare providers can help alleviate burnout and ensure patients receive high-quality care. However, policy and payment structures need to be aligned to fully support this model of care. Overall, there is a need for a comprehensive approach to improving the role of pharmacists in patient care.
