What I do

I am responsible for the development and implementation of a comprehensive strategic plan for the UCSF Health Pharmacy Enterprise. That planning is done in close alignment with the mission and priorities of the School of Pharmacy as myself and the chair of the Department of Clinical Pharmacy hold administrative appointments in each other’s organizations. As an vice dean in our School, I work closely with the School to provide patient care activity oversight, health services research opportunities, and high-quality education in the PharmD degree program.
