I’m publishing one podcast episode per day in the month of November 2020 as part of a challenge called NaPodPoMo.  It stands for National Podcast Post Month.  November is National Podcast Post Month, and the goal of the challenge is 30 podcast episodes in 30 days. This is a bite-sized episode, which I’m using to help promote my new online course:  Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro. 

Today’s episode is about sounding out drug names.  Life would be easier if we could just sound out drug names to get the right pronunciation.  Wouldn’t it?  For example, when a person learns how to read, they say each sound in a word slowly and then say the sounds together more quickly.  Unfortunately, it’s not that easy with generic drug names.  That’s why there are resources like the USP Dictionary Online; it provides written pronunciations of US Adopted Names.  In my course, I teach how to break down written pronunciations so you can sound them out.
