Specialties & Experience of this Expert Witness

Additional Information

I am a pharmacist with nearly 50 years of both practice and management experience in a variety of clinical settings. Since 1993, I have provided expert witness services and litigation support in over 150 cases throughout the country in matters specifically related to pharmacy malpractice, pharmaceuticals-related hospital and medical malpractice, prescription benefit fraud, overdispensing of controlled substances, as well as assistance in disciplinary proceedings against pharmacists and pharmacies. I have also participated in compliance audits of federally-sponsored health plans where it pertains to pharmaceutical services. I am formerly an instructor in the Department of Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Economics and Policy, University of Southern California School of Pharmacy. My areas of expertise for teaching purposes include site-specific pharmacy practice guidelines, community pharmacy risk management, hospital pharmacy risk management, prescription drug benefits, pharmacy services in skilled nursing facilities, hospital pharmacy law, community pharmacy law, institutional pharmacy law, and business practices pertaining to pharmacies. I am presently a faculty member of PBI Education, Inc., a Jacksonville, Florida-based provider of continuing education where I teach courses in pharmacy law and ethics to pharmacists either needing continuing education hours or pharmacists who are required to take such classes as part of a disciplinary requirement of their respective Boards of Pharmacy.
