Research focus:
- Point-of-care testing in pharmacies
The goal of my research is: To utilize the accessibility and expertise of community pharmacists to improve medication use and patient care.
My research will make a difference because: Changing care delivery models will improve the efficiency with which care is delivered.
The best advice I’ve ever been given is: You have two ears and one mouth — listen twice as much as you speak.
