Dr. Camelo Castillo's goal is to develop novel strategies to globalize training in pharmacoepidemiology, the field of epidemiology that measures the utilization, safety, and effectiveness of medications. Our global understanding of pharmacoepidemiology in diverse populations is limited, as most of the evidence comes from high-resource country settings. She proposes developing a curriculum that allows trainees to gain understanding of differences across regions, health systems, barriers, and issues of global equity relevant to drug safety and effectiveness. The overall goal is to engage trainees in the search for novel solutions for traditional and contemporary issues in global pharmacoepidemiology.
