This week on the Rated Rx Podcast, Robbie Abasi, Sam Llona, and Xavier Hill sit down with their longtime friend and colleague Joelle Ayoub, now an associate professor at Western University of Health Sciences. Joelle talks about her path from math major to pharmacy educator, why she never lost her love for psychology and mentoring, and how she uses social media to connect with her students.

You’ll hear stories about her own time as a student, including awkward immunization practicums, showing up late with Starbucks, and being called out in class. She also shares what it’s like to precept today’s students, from overthinking pencils and pens on exams to cramming empathy from YouTube videos overnight.

In the Blind Draft, Joelle ranks the wildest student mishaps, from counseling the wrong patient to trying to reverse a vaccine error with another vaccine. The crew also reacts to a viral video on pharmacist burnout and debates whether pharmacy still offers a fulfilling career path—or if the system itself needs to change.
