Abraham Hartzema, PharmD, MSPH, PhD
Professor and Eminent Scholar, Perry A. Foote Chair in Health Outcomes and Pharmacoeconomics
University of Florida
Dr. Hartzema investigates health outcomes with an emphasis on pharmacoepidemiology, passive and active drug safety surveillance systems, therapeutic risk management, and program evaluation. He has served as principal and co-investigator on major grants from the National Institutes of Health, government entities, foundations and the pharmaceutical industry. He has co-authored and edited three books, two of which are in multiple editions, two monographs, one of which is translated in several languages, and has published and presented more than 100 chapters, journal articles, abstracts and presentations. He has served on the Scientific Board of the International Pharmaceutical Federation, and serves or served on eight editorial boards. He is the recipient of the 2007 UF Foundation research Award. He is an elected Fellow of the International Society for Pharmacoepidemiology. In 2008-2009, he spent his sabbatical in the Immediate Office of the Food and Drug Administration’s Commissioner working on the Sentinel system.
