National Pharmacy Week: Meet Dr. Chris Tan, PharmD, BCPS

By Khinna Kaminske

Tripler Army Medical Center  –   What do you do?
I participate in patient care rounds, collaborate with the ICU care team, and provide medication-related input and recommendations during rounds. I also help recognize potential inefficiencies or problems in medication management processes and propose and implement solutions to improve medication safety and workflow efficiency.

How long have you worked at TAMC?
18 years.

What do you enjoy about your job?
I appreciate the fast paced, high acuity environment of the ICU and find fulfillment in knowing that my work truly makes a difference. I enjoy mentoring pharmacy residents in Critical Care Medicine and demonstrating vital contributions Clinical Pharmacists make.

Why did you become a pharmacist?
I have always had a strong interest in pharmacology and physiology.  During college in the Bay Area, I was inspired by the pioneering work of the Clinical Pharmacists at UCSF in Pharmaceutical Care, which solidified my decision to pursue a career in Clinical Pharmacy.
