Biography

As a founding faculty of the Touro College of Pharmacy, Dr. Addo-Atuah brings to Touro, for the benefit of our students, a passion for pharmacy, an experience of pharmacy leadership in a global public health setting, and that of policy formulation and implementation at the national level. Drawing on her experience of working with multidisciplinary and multicultural teams at the clinical and highest levels of health system management, she takes every opportunity to inculcate in Touro students the art of bringing in the pharmacy perspective in all multidisciplinary team discussions and endeavors.

Her global health career with the World Health Organization (WHO) and her global travels, spanning all the habitable continents of the world, have developed her into a true global citizen, enhancing her ability to relate extremely well with the vibrant multicultural student body at Touro. Through her elective courses and Global Public Health Advance Practice Experience in Ghana, Dr. Addo-Atuah is hoping to assist in developing our students into global citizens and competent professionals able to compete in the global market place for fulfilling careers by helping to address the many medicines-related global health challenges of our time.
