SOUTH KINGSTOWN – Jayne Pawasauskas, a clinical associate professor of pharmacy at the University of Rhode Island was recently named chair-elect of the Pain and Palliative Care Practice and Research Network of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy.
Her connections in the field of pain management, along with a year spent as secretary treasurer at the research network, made her a natural fit to assume the mantle of chair-elect. She will hold the position for a year before becoming chairwoman.
Pawasauskas will take a lead role in organizing the event, which gives clinical pharmacists a chance to connect with colleagues, mentors and friends while attending educational programming about cutting-edge clinical and professional developments. The meeting also offers specialty recertification in pharmacotherapy and ambulatory care, as well as highly specialized practice and research network focus sessions.
