Why did I create this course?\xa0 I care about pronouncing drug names correctly, and I was inspired by voice actors to create a drug name pronunciation course.
Who is it for?\xa0 It could be of use to voice actors, healthcare professionals, students (pharmacy students, nursing students, medical students, and so on), patients, caregivers, and more. \xa0
I created a course that, in hindsight, I wish I would have had in college.\xa0 Something to teach me how to pronounce all the drug names that I hadn\u2019t come across in pharmacy school and all the drug names yet-to-be invented. \xa0
The concept behind my course is, \u201cGive a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.\u201d I teach you where to find the correct pronunciations, how to break them down, and other tips and tricks as you aspire to Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro!\xa0 The course focuses on non-proprietary drug names.\xa0 Those are also called generic names.\xa0 Specifically, I focus on the US Adopted Names.\xa0 I also teach how to find brand-name drug pronunciations.\xa0 Finding brand name drug pronunciations is different from finding generic ones.
