Summary
I’m a Clinical Pharmacy Lecturer at Werabe University and a recent graduate of Jimma University’s postgraduate clinical pharmacy program, where I earned a strong GPA and specialized in ambulatory care. My thesis focused on optimizing medications for ASCVD patients using a pre-post MTM intervention. Clinically, I’ve trained across key units—including ambulatory care, internal medicine, pediatrics, ART, oncology, and psychiatry—at Jimma University Medical Center. I’ve also pursued advanced training on disease management and vaccination through WHO, UNICEF, UNITAR, and Amnesty International. My passion lies in patient-centered, evidence-based care that improves outcomes through medication optimization.
