Judi Lee Mar-Burbidge, B.S., Pharm.D., ASCP Fellow
PAA Member-at-Large

Judi originally graduated from the UW School of Pharmacy in 1982, returning to earn her Pharm.D. in 2000.

Over the years, she has worked in a variety of settings, including as a consultant pharmacist specializing in geriatrics and women’s health at Group Health and Stevens Hospital. She developed a long-term-care skilled nursing pharmacy program at Providence Everett Healthcare and worked in the assisted-living program at Stevens Healthcare Hadfield Pharmacy. She also managed the Costco Corporate Pharmacy with its online, mail-order, retail and assisted-living programs.

After leaving traditional pharmacy practice in 2006, she joined TAP Pharmaceutical Products Inc. as the clinical marketing manager in managed markets. In 2007, she joined Novartis Pharmaceuticals, where she is currently a regional scientific manager, working in arthritis, bone, and general established medicine.

Judi has always enjoyed the teaching aspect of her profession. For eight years, she worked as a consultant pharmacist on Group Health’s Multidisciplinary Geriatric Team. She has also worked on the Stevens Hospital Geropsychiatric Multidisciplinary Team.

Throughout the years, she has been a preceptor for students at the UW School of Pharmacy, WSU College of Pharmacy, and at pharmacy-technician programs throughout the Seattle area. She was promoted to clinical assistant professor at the School of Pharmacy in 2004. Further, she has been an advisory board member for the Edmonds Community College Pharmacy Technician Program since 2002.

Judi believes strongly in the importance of collaboration between the UW School of Pharmacy, the alumni and the students. Such efforts, she says, allow each group to learn and become stronger. “It’s a win-win situation,” she says.
