    Leslie Carstensen Floren, PharmD, DABCP is an Associate Adjunct Professor of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences (BTS) in the School of Pharmacy at UCSF, the Academic Coordinator and Director of Professional and Postdoctoral Educational Affairs in BTS as well as the co-Director of the NIH-funded, UCSF Clinical Pharmacology Fellowship Training Program. Her teaching responsibilities for the past several years have included, primarily, teaching pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, clinical pharmacology and principles of drug development and regulatory sciences to a wide variety of students, including professional students in the PharmD program, Clinical Pharmacology Fellows, junior faculty members, and working professionals from industrial backgrounds. Teaching is one of her greatest pleasures and she has been honored to receive the School of Pharmacy Dean’s Recognition for Excellence in Teaching every year since 2005 and, in 2010, she received the highest honor in the School of Pharmacy for teaching, the Long Award for Excellence in Teaching. Dr. Floren has a keen interest in curriculum development, teaching methodology and assessment, educational technology and online education and will begin training in the School of Medicine 2012-2013 Teaching Scholars Program in order to develop innovative curricula, to implement novel teaching methods and to use technology in order to “bring to life” the principles of Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Clinical Pharmacology for a wide variety of students within and across disciplines and, ultimately, to have a positive impact on patient health. She also plans to conduct scholarly research that will demonstrate the utility of practice-based teaching methods in order to advance interdisciplinary pharmaceutical sciences education within UCSF, our local community and across the country.
