The 2024 Fellows will be officially honored during a ceremony on June 11, 2024, at the ASHP Pharmacy Futures meeting in Portland, Oregon. Jeff Goad’s commitment to advancing pharmacy practice, his active involvement in ASHP, and his dedication to educating future practitioners highlight his mentorship in shaping the future of pharmacy.
Goad has maintained an active practice in travel medicine and immunization services for over 25 years. He created the first national Travel Health certificate program, training more than 10,000 pharmacists. He coordinates and teaches courses in travel medicine, immunizations, and parasitology. Goad’s research program focuses on the social and behavioral aspects of consumer and healthcare professional’s decision-making processes and outcomes related primarily to immunizations and travel medicine. “Think about how well we’ve done getting COVID-19 vaccine awareness into everyone’s lives. If we could bring that same energy in common messaging to other vaccines, we could prevent a tremendous amount of illness, hospitalization and death,” said Goad.
“We are incredibly proud of Dr. Goad’s recognition as an ASHP Fellow, said Ren Ostrom, dean of Chapman University School of Pharmacy. “This honor truly shows his career accomplishments and exemplifies the standard of excellence and leadership he brings to our university and the broader pharmacy profession.”
