William Dager, PharmD, FCSHP, Pharmacist Specialist, University of California, Davis Medical Center
One of the major areas of patient care responsibilities for me has been the management of anticoagulation therapy, primarily in the inpatient setting. This has resulted in dozen of published manuscripts covering a wide number of related issues. I have also represented pharmacy on multi-disciplinary national events, and lectured on optimizing anticoagulation therapy. My practice setting has been highlighted in AJHP and by ACCP. Other related activities include serving as the chair of the editorial advisory board for The Annals of Pharmacotherapy panel on anticoagulation, and authored three chapters in the ASHP textbook on anticoagulation therapy edited by Michael Gulseth.
Other Academic Titles (without pay)
Clinical Professor of Pharmacy, UC San Francisco School of Pharmacy; Clinical Professor of Medicine, UC Davis School of Medicine.
