Description: Obesity is associated with significant comorbid conditions including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, as well as reduced quality of life and poorer mental health. While primary care providers often manage obesity-related comorbidities, obesity itself is not often directly addressed and remains undertreated. This educational program supports the consistent delivery of evidence-based obesity counseling and treatment in primary care settings. It focuses on improving the understanding and skills of primary care clinicians in working with their patients to manage their weight through evidence-based actions based in cultural humility.

Clinical Pharmacist & Associate Professor of Pharmacy Practice

I practice as an ambulatory care pharmacist in a primary care/family medicine clinic where I have been providing comprehensive medication management since 2016. The clinic is a teaching clinic which is home for a family medicine residency program and training site for pharmacy and nursing students. I am on the faculty at the Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy at the University of Hawaii at Hilo, where I teach students in various therapeutic topics relating to chronic disease state management, pharmacotherapy, and I oversee the experiential education office.
