Research Interest

I have been lucky to have been exposed to Medical education as well as Pharmacy education for over 20 years and wish at this time to invest in the education of my students. The role of pharmacists is changing rapidly and electronic transfer of information is hastening the change. I seek to prepare my students for the clinical roles that are moving from the medical centers to the “medical home.” I have precepted many pharmacy students and been able to engage the interest and curiosity of each by reviewing pharmaceutical care from a patient’s point of view. I hope to continue to stimulate students in developing an understanding of drug therapy and its nuances in the patients they will help throughout their professional careers.
