Dr. Corrie Sanders, PharmD, BCACP
Dr. Corrie Sanders is residency trained, licensed pharmacist with years of specialized experience in medication safety and a certification in pharmacogenomics. Corrie currently serves as President of the Hawai'i Pharmacists Association and is passionate about ensuring safe access to medical care across the Hawaiian Islands.
​
Dr. Sanders graduated from Virginia Tech Honors College with a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Nutrition and Exercise Science and minor in Medicine in Society. She obtained her Doctorate of Pharmacy (PharmD) from Virginia Commonwealth University and then completed her residency training with Sentara Healthcare System in Norfolk, Virginia. In 2022, she earned her pharmacogenomics certificate through the University of Colorado Center for Personalized Medicine.
​
Corrie embraces innovation and aims to bring precision medicine to Hawai'i where the '"one size fits all" approach to medical care is often ineffective. The unique ethnic demographic in Hawai'i should change how we approach treatment, as minority populations are often not represented in large drug trials and research. The clinical application of pharmacogenomics gives providers another tool in the treatment toolbox to ensure quality care for patients in a state with an overburdened healthcare system.
​
Dr. Sanders was recognized as the 2023 American Pharmacists Association (APhA) Good Government pharmacist of the year and 2023 Hawai'i Pharmacists Associations (HPhA) Pharmacist of the Year. She also hosts The Pharmacy Innovators segment of the Your Financial Pharmacist Podcast.
