contributions to independent as well as collaborative research with evidence of impact in quality use of medicines

a strong commitment to teaching and development of education programs within the broad areas of pharmacy including but not limited to pharmacotherapeutics, chronic disease state prevention/management, medication management, quality use of medicines, epidemiology and pharmaceutical policy in both undergraduate and postgraduate professional pharmacy courses (Bachelor of Pharmacy and Master of Pharmacy) and research degrees (Master of Philosophy and Doctor of Philosophy)
the ability to embrace cultural change and to embody a collaborative and cooperative ethos in all aspects of academic life.
