Katie Chamberlain

Dr. Katie Chamberlain is a Clinical Psychiatric Pharmacist who teaches mental health topics in the School of Pharmacy. She is board certified in Psychiatric Pharmacy and in Pharmacotherapy. She is particularly interested in substance use disorders, trauma and stressor-related disorders, and disparities in mental health care. She practices as a Clinical Psychiatric Pharmacist at West Pines Behavioral Health, where she also precepts pharmacy students.

Her goal as an educator is to encourage students to be compassionate as well as competent. She hopes to prepare students to be empathetic and passionate in their care for patients by modeling this care and by demonstrating care of the whole patient. She believes that student exposure to complex factors such as race, ethnicity, class, sexual orientation, gender identity, Veteran status, and religion is crucial to understanding a person’s health status and formulating a treatment plan. Dr. Chamberlain is passionate about caring for marginalized populations and hopes to pass this passion to the future generations of pharmacists.
