Distinguished Scholar and Fellow of the National Academies of Practice (FNAP)
Research Interests
I am committed to research (broadly defined and inclusive of the scholarship of discovery, integration, application, and teaching/learning). I subscribe to the philosophy that those engaged in the academic enterprise have an obligation to engage in research in its many forms and outcomes. The role of a Dean is not to articulate the full research agenda of an academic program, but rather assure its compatibility within the organization and where possible foster the cross-linkages that support faculty in their pursuits.
As an educator, administrator, researcher, and clinician I have been intimately involved in developing programs in the areas of teaching, service and research (which by their nature are intertwined) in the health professions while keeping in mind advancements occurring in various healthcare technologies. I continue to pursue areas of interest in demonstrating the value of pharmacists, models for medication adherence, population health and pharmacoeconomics, such as editing the textbook Understanding Health Outcomes and Pharmacoeconomics.

Education is to be an active, engaging and stimulating process - not a passive one. Appropriate use of instructional design and educational technologies is critical to meet the needs of today's learner, and even more so in professions where new information is continually added such as pharmacy and medicine. As educators we must recognize that students have different learning styles as well as the need to provide timely continuous formative feedback. So, while knowledge is critical in the health sciences, so too is the application of this knowledge via skills and abilities often acquired via lab simulations with standardized patients and experiential education (e.g., clinical rotations).
