| How does SIUE support your professional growth or activity as a Teacher-Scholar? "As a registered pharmacist I know the importance of a patient care focus in all aspects of pharmacy practice. My research on patient care practices in community pharmacy was initiated, in part, due to its direct educational applicability. My research focus on potential treatments for cystic fibrosis was strongly influenced by the unmet medical needs I observed while practicing pharmacy."
