The UCI School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences (UCI SPPS) aims to be a driving force for advancing the health and wellness of individuals and society through cutting-edge pharmaceutical research. The Department of Clinical Pharmacy Practice is an essential component of UCI SPPS as it is the home of our clinical pharmacy practice faculty, who are developing and delivering innovative and integrative didactic and experiential curricula for the Doctor of Pharmacy program; and emerging as leaders in team-based pharmacy practice, health care, and research. Dr. Wisseh's research program broadly examines the relationships between the determinants of health, health of racially and ethnically minoritized populations and health outcomes and the pharmacist's role in reducing racial and ethnic health disparities among adult patients with chronic disease. The current studies aim to improve adherence to antihyperglycemic medications and blood glucose monitoring among non-Hispanic Black and Latino adults with type 2 diabetes through a multilevel intervention that influences several levels of health (intrapersonal, interpersonal, institutional, community and health care policy).
