Between 1975 and 2010, the number of physicians in the United States grew by 150%, roughly keeping pace with population growth. During that same period, the number of healthcare administrators grew by 3,200%. No, that’s not a typo. That alone is shocking, but new research published in JAMA adds another layer even more infuriating. It turns out…

They all got the same picture and the same prompt. “Roast my 4Runner.” ChatGPT ChatGPT made a photo. I didn’t ask for it, but ok. I’m not even sure what to do with that. It’s not wrong. It’s also not the first time that ChatGPT just assumed I wanted an image. Another time I asked,…

As I mentioned in a previous post, AI is like my grad student. With all of the available options, I’ve gotten to know several different “grad students” and now have names for them. Gemini is Maya, a great grad student, especially from a research standpoint, but still relatively new to coding. Claude is Claude, my…

If you lived in tornado alley for more than one storm season, you’ve been there. The meteorologist spends three days warning about a potentially historic tornado outbreak. Then that day comes and goes with nothing but clouds and a little rain. The comments section in your local meteorologist’s page fills up with all the name-calling…

In the world of AI, there is so much potential to tap into if you know how to use it right. Not using AI in 2026 is like driving a Ferrari at 50 mph on the highway. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. I have no experience making an app and modest coding…

I now understand why professors love having grad students. They can tackle so many tasks that faculty don’t want to do (or have time to do): literature deep-dives, formatting posters, the random “can you just look into this for me?” requests that pile up. I’m not in academia, so I assumed I wouldn’t get to…

One thing among the many things to consider when choosing a pharmacy school is the extent to which a state is saturated with pharmacy schools. Whether you plan to practice in the same state or move to a different state after graduation, it would be good to know what states are more likely to have…

Businesses spend a lot of money on sleek logos, fancy lobby furniture, and crafting the perfect mission statement to tell you who they are. I’m sure those things are important, but as someone with a tiny bladder, I’ve had extensive exposure to the different bathrooms of America. I’ve become a bit of a connoisseur of…

In Part 1, we looked at individual factors like school age and ranking to see how they correlated with NAPLEX pass rates. The scatter plots gave us a good “vibe check,” but they left us with a major question: Which of these factors are actually driving the results, and which are just along for the…

Historically, admission into pharmacy school was more selective and most students could feel confident in passing the NAPLEX no matter where they enrolled. However, the landscape has shifted. We’ve seen a rapid expansion in the number of pharmacy programs set against a sharp decline in the applicant pool. From the 2022-2023 application cycle, PharmCAS reported…
