Seattle HPTU Staff |
       |
Jeff Faris As a pharmacist, my duties are split between research and clinical responsibilities. I joined the Seattle HPTU Site in June 1998 to work with Meredith Potochnic, my pharmacy partner. As a research pharmacist, I am responsibile for any research protocols which involve vaccines or medications. I prepare, administer or dispense, and maintain records for all investigational drug products involved in our studies. My time is divided among several different research groups including HIV Vaccine Trials Unit, AIDS Clinical Trials Unit (ACTU), and the Virology Research Unit. In addition, I work as a clinical pharmacist at the Madison Clinic, an HIV clinic located in Harborview Medical Center. There my duties include extensive patient education, and screening for drug interactions as well as filling prescriptions. I graduated from Idaho State University in May 1997 with a Doctor of Pharmacy Degree (Pharm.D.) and have since completed a one year post-graduated residency in Pharmacy Practice at the University of Washington and Harborview Medical Centers. Not being a native to the Seattle area, I am learning to appreciate the vast number of opportunities that exist in the area. I enjoy rollerblading, reading, watching good movies, and eating fine food. E-mail: jfaris@u.washington.edu |
