For the study group, at the initial education visit, a time for each phone call that is convenient for the patient will be scheduled. At each phone call, the OCN will get a pill count and discuss reasons for missed doses if applicable; grade any AE's experienced and interventions for those side effects; and answer any questions or concerns that they patient may be having. Patients will then return for the standard 4 week clinic visit.
