My research interests are in improving outcomes for patients with chronic conditions via pharmacist interventions in collaboration with physicians, in the community setting. My focus is on designing such protocols, working on strengthening methodology and measurement of such pharmacist-driven programs and disseminating information on pharmacist impact to the profession, the health care community at large, and policymakers via publications and professional networks. These areas of interest are a synergy of my training in health outcomes with my background as a pharmacist. I also have an interest in extending my research into advocacy.
