I\u2019m publishing one podcast episode per day in the month of November 2020 as part of a challenge called NaPodPoMo.\xa0 It stands for National Podcast Post Month.\xa0 I\u2019m promoting my online course "Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro."

As a pharmacist in the voiceover industry, I am often\xa0asked, "How do you pronounce this drug name?\u201d Or, "How can I\xa0learn how to pronounce drug names correctly too? \xa0Who teaches this?\xa0 Who taught you how to pronounce drug names correctly?" \xa0Those are all great questions! \xa0

I picked up a lot of what I know from pharmacy school.\xa0 What happens after pharmacy school?\xa0 After some reflection, I realized I had to either pick it up at work, guess, research pronunciations on the internet, or ask others.\xa0 When I researched the pronunciation of a drug name on the internet, however, I found at least two different results.\xa0 How was I supposed to know the right one?\xa0 After researching drug names for my online course, Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro, I know there are better ways. \xa0

Pronouncing drug names correctly is important to me, and it shouldn\u2019t be difficult as it often is.\xa0 My course can help.\xa0 Much of the course is short videos, but there is plenty of text to read as well.\xa0 I took a complicated topic, broke it down into bite-sized chunks, paired the explanations with relevant images, and used voiceover to string the videos together.\xa0 Visit https://www.kimnewlove.com to buy the online course today.
