Abstract
Rear Admiral Krista M. Pedley, assistant surgeon general and director of the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) Office of Special Health Initiatives (OSHI), says the training she received as a pharmacist was the perfect launch pad for her 22-year career in public service. “We are unique,” Pedley told her pharmacy audience September 13 as she delivered ASHP’s William A. Zellmer Lecture in Bethesda, MD. “No matter what role we play, we use our training and foundational values to rise to every occasion.” The William A. Zellmer Lecture Award was established in 2010 to recognize leadership in advancing public policy that improves medication use through the efforts of pharmacists. The annual lecture takes place during Policy Week, when members of ASHP’s policy-recommending councils and the Commission on Affiliate Relations travel to Capitol Hill to advocate for issues important to the pharmacy profession. Policy Week participants also drive the development of ASHP’s professional policies and lay the foundation for ASHP’s advocacy efforts.
