For 33 years he held positions at The Ohio State University (OSU), with the most recent being Clinical Professor and Director of the Latiolais Leadership Program at OSU, an interprofessional program focused on advancing leadership in pharmacy and improving the medication-use system to reduce adverse drug events.
