Alexa Zamudio, Pharm.D., RPh

Licensed Pharmacist (IL #051.308769) with clinical training in managed care, long term care, medication therapy management, community and ambulatory care pharmacy settings. Through advanced pharmacy practice experiences at CHI Health Hospital systems (Omaha, NE) and Lasting Hope Recovery Center, I have developed strong skills in evidence-based pharmacotherapy, interdisciplinary collaboration, patient counseling, and medication management. My clinical interests include geriatric, long-term care, and hospice pharmacy.

My health-system training has included focused exposure to medication reconciliation, transitions of care, medication therapy management, and medication adherence packaging. I am an enthusiastic, meticulous, and results-driven pharmacist who works well with others on the team. I am committed to delivering safe, evidence-based, and timely medication services to my patients, and I support the financial and administrative well-being of my employer pharmacy.
