Robert Wahler, clinical assistant professor, pharmacy practice, has been voted in by the Society of Palliative Care Pharmacists (SPCP) general membership as a Board of Trustee member representing the specialty practice of hospice.

Wahler, a 2000 graduate of the UB School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (SPPS), focuses his research on identifying and reducing medication related fall risk in the elderly. Using the Medication Therapy Management (MTM) model, he is developing clinical decision support tools to access medication falls risk, medication cognition impairment and inappropriate medications in the elderly. He is also leading the curricular initiative to bring SPPS into compliance with American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) recommendations and New York State mandates and federal guidelines on opioid abuse and heroin use.

SPCP promotes exceptional patient care by advancing pain and palliative pharmacists through education, development, and research in collaboration with the transdisciplinary team.
