Clinical Practice

My clinical service contribution is through the development of enhanced clinical services in community pharmacies. In addition to working at an independent pharmacy, much of my support has been cultivating a common vision establishing a statewide pharmacy network, Arkansas CPESN, and collating data both qualitatively and quantitatively so they can effectively share their work.

Research & Scholarly Interests

Developing innovative community pharmacy services and studying the uptake, sustainability, and impact of these services on patient care and pharmacoeconomic indicators.
