I completed an ASHP-Accredited Residency in Geriatrics at the Durham VAMC in 1994 under the guidance of Dr. Joe Hanlon and Dr. Ingrid Lewis. My practice has had an emphasis in geriatrics for the past 14 years. I am the founding pharmacist for our collaborative physician/pharmacist-managed Osteoporosis Clinic. I see patients in our Osteoporosis Clinic once weekly and provide medication therapy management in collaboration with Dr. Lisa Ray, our Osteoporosis Clinic physician. I am licensed as a Clinical Pharmacist Practitioner with the North Carolina Medical Board and have over 10 years of experience providing collaborative patient care with family physicians. We have presented several posters about our Osteoporosis Clinic and were invited to present our collaborative care model for National Pharmacy Week at Midwestern University – Glendale in October 2006. I chair a multidisciplinary continuous quality improvement team in our practice that consists of nurses, physicians, and pharmacists. Our CQI Team goal is to improve care for patients with or at risk for osteoporosis in our practice. I have mentored pre-residency track student projects from the University of North Carolina School of Pharmacy that were focused on osteoporosis care.
I frequently use Turning Point software that utilizes an Audience Response System when I teach. I teach different health care learners who rotate through our organization about osteoporosis management including family medicine residents, geriatric fellows, pharmacy residents, and Pharm.D. students.
