Dr. Marwitz joined the pharmacy program in July 2019 after completing a two-year regulatory pharmaceutical fellowship in medication safety with Purdue University College of Pharmacy, Eli Lilly Global Patient Safety, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. She earned her Doctor of Pharmacy from Drake University and her Master in Public Health from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Dr. Marwitz’s research interests are in medication and patient safety and their intersection with health and drug policy decisions. She applies her training in pharmacoepidemiology to answer questions about drug safety trends and adverse event reporting using large datasets. Additionally, she has clinical interests in electronic medical records and smart infusion pumps as vectors for safe (or unsafe) medication administration. Dr. Marwitz welcomes active student participation and learning in her research projects and is an advocate for the training and value of student pharmacists and pharmacists in medication safety efforts.
Dr. Marwitz is actively involved in leadership roles with the American Pharmacist Association (APhA) and the American Public Health Association (APHA). She is also a member of the Indiana Pharmacists Alliance (IPA), American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP), and the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy (AIHP).
