Erin Pauling

Erin Pauling, PharmD, BCACP, FAPhA serves as Clinical Associate Professor in Pharmacy Practice at Binghamton University's School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. She maintains active clinical practice at United Health Services (UHS), Southern Tier’s largest healthcare provider, specializing in anticoagulation management within cardiology and primary care ambulatory settings while integrating pharmacists into interprofessional care teams.

Her educational foundation includes:

• PharmD from Shenandoah University Bernard J Dunn School of Pharmacy
• PGY1 Community Pharmacy Residency at Appalachian College of Pharmacy
• PGY2 Ambulatory Care Residency at Wingate University School of Pharmacy

Dr. Pauling's research strategically bridges clinical practice and educational innovation through five interconnected domains:

• Anticoagulation Optimization: Developing safety protocols for complex cardiovascular patients
• Diabetes Equity: Creating culturally responsive care models addressing social barriers
• PPCP Implementation: Operationalizing Pharmacists’ Patient Care Process in community settings
• SDOH Integration: Embedding social determinants screening into routine pharmacy workflows
• Interprofessional Pedagogy: Designing curricula preparing students for team-based care

Her work consistently emphasizes practical applications that reduce health disparities while enhancing pharmacist contributions to patient outcomes.

Recent publications (2022-2024) reveal an accelerating focus on diabetes health equity and social determinants of health, with increasing emphasis on structural barriers in medication access. Her scholarship demonstrates methodological progression from clinical protocol development toward systems-level interventions addressing root causes of health inequities, particularly through interprofessional education frameworks.

Her distinguished recognition includes:

• American Pharmacists Association Fellow (2025)
• Dean’s Award for Faculty Teaching Innovation (2025)
• New York State ACCP Educator of the Year (2024)
• Provost’s Award for Interprofessional Education Excellence (2023)
• Services for Students with Disabilities Faculty Recognition (2023)

As an educator, Dr. Pauling pioneered Binghamton's post-semester remediation program ensuring PharmD student progression while developing innovative SDOH curricula. Her grant work focuses on interprofessional simulation training with UHS clinical partners, though specific funding details aren't published in source materials. She actively mentors students through research projects addressing diabetes care disparities and anticoagulation safety.

Her clinical leadership extends beyond UHS through Servant Outreach board membership and six medical mission trips to Honduras, where she implements pharmacy services in resource-limited settings. These experiences directly inform her research on adapting care models for underserved populations while strengthening community health infrastructure.
