Pharmacotherapy Section

The Pharmacotherapy Section’s mission is to educate and train future physicians in the evidence-based, safe, and cost-effective use of medications while providing excellent care to our patients in a collaborative, interprofessional team-based patient care model.

As educators, our Clinical Pharmacists have a crucial role in educating resident physicians and fellows about the safe and effective use of medications. We participate extensively in the didactic portion of the Family Medicine residency and Geriatric fellowship curriculums.  In addition to these educational components, our Clinical Pharmacists works closely with residents and fellows to reinforce learning through hands-on experience and real-world application. Our expertise helps ensure that residents and fellows develop a comprehensive understanding of pharmacotherapy and its role in the effective care of their patients.

As clinicians, our Clinical Pharmacist Practitioners provide direct patient care in face-to-face and tele-health settings to provide comprehensive medication management, chronic disease management and medication therapy reviews. We work in interprofessional specialty clinics within the department to develop and implement individualized treatment plans. We participate in point-of-care interactions providing medication information directly to our providers during patient encounters. We use our expertise in these settings to provide evidence-based, patient centered recommendations and support for complex clinical decisions. This collaborative approach ensures that all aspects of a patient’s care are well-coordinated, and that medication therapy aligns with overall goals.
