What I do

As senior epidemiologist, I lead the evaluation efforts for the Medi-Cal Drug Use Review program. I conduct prospective and retrospective analysis of pharmacy and medical claims data within the Medi-Cal population, develop detailed and comprehensive policy impact reviews based on changes in state and federal pharmacy policy, publish educational bulletins, and conduct interventions targeted toward Medi-Cal health care providers.
