Research Interests

  • Improving patient safety at hospital admission and discharge
  • Geriatric care in the inpatient setting
  • Strategies to improve attention-to-detail among healthcare professionals
  • Pharmacogenomics and precision medicine

As a clinical instructor I enjoy my role in the student’s journey from the classroom to their patient’s bedside.  I encourage critical thinking, collaboration and active investigation to improve each patient’s care.  I assist learners in developing strategies for lifelong learning and encourage them to routinely ask questions to promote their success as our future pharmacists
