Dr. Krobot named Associate Dean for Academic Affairs in the College of Pharmacy
Charles Krobot was a registered pharmacist in the early 1980s when he was presented with the opportunity to take more classes and earn his Doctor of Pharmacy degree. He wasn’t sure what he was getting into, but he decided to “take the plunge.” He earned his Pharm.D. in 1984, and soon thereafter became one of the first pharmacists “on the floor” at Clarkson Hospital, overseeing a satellite pharmacy that prepared chemotherapy medications for cancer patients.
Nearly 20 years later, Dr. Krobot is taking another proverbial leap. After nearly 30 years as a clinical pharmacist and serving for the past three years as a part-time instructor in the College of Pharmacy, Dr. Krobot on July 1 began his new position as associate dean for academic affairs in the college.
