For the past ten years, he has focused his attention on work to ensure the safe and effective use of medications taken by people who have disabilities, specifically those who have intellectual or developmental disabilities. This includes collaborating with clinical educators and researchers to develop interventions to improve the cultural competence of health care professionals working with people who have disabilities.
