Biography

Trang Trinh is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Clinical Pharmacy's Medication Outcomes Center. Her research areas focus on antimicrobial stewardship interventions in ambulatory settings and pharmacoepidemiology of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. Trang is especially interested in incorporating leadership/change management to implement effective antimicrobial stewardship and prescribing practices in ambulatory clinics and other outpatient settings, as well as applying advanced study design and statistical methods to bolster observational studies in infectious diseases.

In addition to her research focus, Trang also teaches epidemiology, study design, and infectious disease pharmacotherapy in the School of Pharmacy curriculum. She precepts and mentors pharmacy students and residents on infectious diseases research and quality improvement projects.
