BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Gayle A. Brazeau, associate dean for academic affairs in the University at Buffalo School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, has been appointed to a three-year term as an associate editor for the American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education.
The journal -- the official publication of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy -- is considered the premier journal for promoting pharmaceutical education in the United States and internationally.
Brazeau, also a UB associate professor of pharmacy practice, said she applied to be an associate editor "to encourage more discussion about the aspects of how we enhance learning for pharmacy students, particularly in the pharmaceutical sciences.
"I have a philosophy that just as research has its own community of scholars, we should have a community of scholars devoted to teaching and learning," Brazeau said. "We're all trying to learn how to be better educators. So I felt that becoming an associate editor of this journal would be my way to contribute to that effort as well as further enhance the growth of the journal."
Brazeau serves on the editorial board of several journals, including Pharmaceutical Development and Technology, PharmSciTech and the National Center for Case Study Teaching in Science, and as an ad hoc reviewer for numerous journals and publications.
She received a doctorate in pharmaceutics from the UB School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences in 1989, and a master's degree from the University of Toledo College of Pharmacy in 1983.
From 1996-2000, she was an associate professor in the pharmaceutics department at the University of Florida in Gainesville, where she also served for two years as assistant dean for curricular affairs and accreditation.
Brazeau, a resident of Amherst, joined the UB faculty in 2000.
Founded in 1900, the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) is the national organization representing the interests of pharmaceutical education and educators.
