Salus Vitae Group CEO, Dr. Rola Kaakeh, spoke with Michael D. Hogue is Dean and Professor of Loma Linda University and President of the American Pharmacists Association.
Michael D. Hogue is Dean and Professor of Loma Linda University School of Pharmacy, Loma Linda, California. Dr. Hogue was on the staff development team and an original national faculty member for American Pharmacists Association (APhA)’s Pharmacy-Based Immunization Delivery national certificate program for pharmacists, which over 350,000 pharmacists and student pharmacists have completed since its inception in 1996. He continues to be actively engaged in immunization policy and advocacy in pharmacy, as well as education of nurse practitioners and physicians in disease prevention through vaccines. He has conducted several studies in the area of vaccine implementation through pharmacies, written dozens of manuscripts and monographs related to vaccines and vaccine- preventable diseases, and speaks frequently around the globe on the subject.
Dr. Hogue was the first pharmacist in the state of Alabama to administer vaccines in his pharmacy practice in 1997. Dr. Hogue serves at the 165th President of APhA through March of 2021 and is the immediate past Speaker of the House of Delegates of APhA. Perhaps the greatest accomplishment of the House during Hogue’s tenure as Speaker was the passing of significant policy directly addressing pharmacy safety, and the workplace and resiliency needs of pharmacists to assure optimal wellness within the profession and, thus, optimal patient care.
The From Vaccine to Vaccination Series convened leaders from across various settings to share their experiences, explore recommendations, and propose actionable strategies as we prepare for the distribution and administration of the COVID-19 vaccine.
