Angela Nagel

Dr. Nagel brings over 20 years of pharmacy practice experience in many different organizations and practice settings to enhance the quality of care that patients receive. She translates this experience to the students of the Wegmans School of Pharmacy, both in the classroom and in clinical practice settings.

Before joining St. John Fisher University, Nagel was a clinical pharmacist at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC), at both Strong Memorial Hospital and Golisano Children’s Hospital. Throughout her time at URMC, she served many roles, including clinical staff pharmacist and clinical pediatric pharmacist. She spent time within several different disciplines, including burn/trauma, solid organ transplant, pharmacokinetic services, and pediatric hematology/oncology.

Dr. Nagel also has several years of community pharmacy experience. She holds several certifications and has completed advanced training to enhance the knowledge that she can share with her students. Through this wide range of experience, she has made many professional relationships that add unique value to St John Fisher University and to the students within the Wegmans School of Pharmacy.

Dr. Nagel has been involved with the School since early in its inception. She served as a pharmacy mentor and preceptor for the inaugural class of Pharm.D. candidates while at URMC. She was also an original member of the Assessment Committee, as the community representative. In June 2009, she joined the School as an assistant professor in ambulatory care pharmacy (family medicine).

Currently, Dr. Nagel serves the Wegmans School of Pharmacy as the faculty advisor for the Student Society of Health-System Pharmacists (SSHP). She is currently co-chair of the School Strategic Plan and is a member of the Curriculum Committee. In addition to service to the School, Dr. Nagel is on College-level committees, including Statutes Revision and Academic and Faculty Affairs.

Dr. Nagel has been an active member of the professional society of the Rochester Area Society of Health Systems Pharmacists, serving as a board member in various positions. In addition, she has been involved in several committees within the New York State Council of Hospital Pharmacists, such as the Public Policy Committee and Strategic Planning/Leadership Committee. At a national level, Dr. Nagel serves the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) as a resident poster mentor and CV reviewer, the American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) as an item writer for the annual Clinical Pharmacy Challenge, and the American Pharmacist Association (APhA) as a local level case writer for the annual patient counseling competition.
