College of Pharmacy names assistant dean for MCG pharmacy programs

Joseph T. DiPiro, assistant dean and Panoz Professor for the UGA College of Pharmacy and clinical professor of surgery at the Medical College of Georgia, has been named assistant dean for pharmacy programs in the MCG School of Medicine.
DiPiro, who is based in Augusta and has had a joint appointment at MCG for 20 years through the two universities’ collaborative doctor of pharmacy training program, will serve as a liaison between the schools.
UGA has nine full-time faculty and additional part-time and adjunct faculty based at MCG as part of the four-year program.
DiPiro joined the UGA faculty in 1981 after earning his doctor of pharmacy degree from the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy and completing a concurrent three-year pharmacy residency at Albert B. Chandler Medical Center in Lexington, Ky. He heads UGA’s Department of Clinical and Administrative Sciences and directed surgical research at MCG from 1990 to 2000.
DiPiro is on the editorial board of the journals of Pharmacotherapy, American Surgeon and Medscape Pharmacotherapy and is a reviewer for Critical Care Medicine, Pharmacotherapy, American Journal of Surgery, American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy and Chemotherapy.
He is a member of the Research Institute Board of Trustees of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy and director-at-large of the Section of Clinical Specialists of the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists.
