“Being named a Fellow of PPA is a meaningful professional milestone for me,” Fusco says. “It reflects a long-term commitment to advancing pediatric pharmacotherapy through research, education and interdisciplinary collaboration. The designation aligns closely with my ongoing work focused on improving medication use and outcomes in pediatric populations, as well as mentoring trainees in pediatric pharmacy and clinical research.”
