National Pharmacy Week: Meet Dr. Catherine Sexton, PharmD, BCPS

By Khinna Kaminske

What do you do?
I am an inpatient pharmacist who helps verify and prepare medications for patients throughout the hospital. 

How long have you worked at TAMC?
I have worked at TAMC for 1.5 years, but previously, I transferred from Walter Reed Naval Military Medical Center (WRNMMC), where I worked for three years.

What do you enjoy about your job?
I enjoy helping patients by working with providers and nurses to deliver safe pharmaceutical care. I focus on compounding oral liquid medications for patients who are unable to swallow tablets, and I am glad I can help these patients in this way since they are often pediatric patients. 

How did you become a pharmacist?
I became a pharmacist by attending the University of Rhode Island College of Pharmacy for six years. After that, I completed pharmacy residency training in Massachusetts.
