Presentations

Jude Sammani
Jude Sammani was invited to present at the Society of Critical Care Medicine Congress earlier this year. In 2023, she was one of ten students selected nationally to be a part of the Mayo Clinic Summer Pharmacy Internship in Rochester, MN, where her research project began. Alongside a variety of interdisciplinary professionals, she developed and validated an EHR-based dashboard to monitor, track, and trend beta-lactam therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) at the Mayo Clinic. Jude's abstract was published in the current supplement of Critical Care Medicine.
