This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the evolving roles of pharmacists and the importance of addressing underserved areas of women's health. Key Takeaways: 1. Pharmacists can leverage their expertise to create innovative experiences that go beyond traditional healthcare roles, as demonstrated by the ElevateHer event organizer Rajinder. 2.

Women should be empowered to advocate for their own health and take an active role in understanding their bodies, rather than normalizing issues like incontinence or painful intercourse. 4.
