I’m incredibly grateful for having had the opportunity to represent the Emily Jerry Foundation during my recent visit to the University of Utah College of Pharmacy and University of Utah Health Hospital. Over two full days, I had the privilege of delivering four presentations centered on patient and medication safety to a remarkable audience of PharmD students (P1-P4), faculty, clinicians, and healthcare leaders.
The experience began Thursday morning with an inspiring discussion alongside clinician leaders and stakeholders from various modalities at the University of Utah Health Hospital. I was deeply impressed by their unwavering commitment to patient safety and their forward-thinking approach to implementing systems that effectively mitigate the risk of human error in clinical and pharmacy workflows. Our in-depth conversations explored collaborative strategies that I am confident will drive lasting improvements in safety across healthcare settings. We finished up a very productive and wonderful day at the college, in their L.S Skaggs Auditorium, where I was given the opportunity to provide a CE accredited presentation titled, “From Tragedy to Triumph – Mitigating the Risk of Human Error to Save Lives.”
On Friday, I had the honor of addressing two large groups of PharmD students. These future healthcare leaders embody the passion, dedication, and resolve needed to make medication safety their top priority throughout their careers. Their enthusiasm and proactive engagement were truly inspiring. I have no doubt their leadership will save countless lives by advancing medication safety practices and fostering a strong culture of safety in healthcare.
A heartfelt thank you to my friend, Dr. Krystal Moorman-Bishir, PharmD, BCPS, FASHP and her entire team for making this visit possible. I also want to express my gratitude to everyone I met from the University of Utah campus community for your warm welcome and for making this experience so impactful. It was truly an honor to work alongside such incredible individuals who all share the exact same vision for of a safer, brighter future in healthcare!
