What does your role as Assistant Dean for the Medical College of Wisconsin School of Pharmacy mean to you?

“It’s an interesting and exciting role. It’s a way for the VA to connect directly with the School and show the next generation of pharmacists what we’re able to do through our practices. We have students come through our practice site to learn about what we do and keep them excited about the profession of pharmacy. We also host students for clinical rotations in standard inpatient and outpatient settings, as well as a few specialties.”
“For me it means being an advocate – connecting pharmacy students and our staff at Froedtert Health together around our academic mission. I work to create a great platform for students to train, learn and do research. Staff and students learn together, explore interesting research questions together and create new models of how we deliver patient care as pharmacy staff together."
“It’s an interesting capacity in which I can advocate for our profession. From a pediatrics perspective, I encourage students to think about pediatrics as an area of focus. We have a unique opportunity with the Medical College of Wisconsin to have more of a focus or emphasis on pediatric topics that other schools aren’t always able to provide. I think it’s such an important area of clinical practice, no matter what site you work in. I like being able to ensure that we’re providing that complete education for students that includes the pediatric population.”
