Teaching Areas and Interests:

I am committed to and engaged in teaching in the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) expected area of social/behavioral/administrative pharmacy sciences competency of the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program, as well as innovative research on leadership development in pharmacy systems leadership and management, and moreover impactful community service. The Pharmacy health-systems leader has a responsibility to the patient customer to lead the process of optimal medication usage. Pharmacy health-systems leaders have a vision and a responsibility to fill the medication usage gap that no one else is filling in health care (Palmer, Jr., 2014). It is my desire and passion to foster these altruistic charges of the pharmacy profession by using the classroom to generate innovation, understanding facts, and using facts to support the current state of practice.
