Ohio Northern University President Melissa J. Baumann has announced that Stuart Beatty, PharmD, BCACP, FAPhA, has been named the next dean of ONU’s Raabe College of Pharmacy. A 2003 ONU Pharmacy alumnus who graduated with distinction, Beatty will succeed Steve Martin, PharmD, BCPS, FCCP, FCCM, who has served as dean for almost nine years and is retiring on June 30, 2023.
Beatty has nearly 20 years of experience serving patients, teaching students, authoring papers, conducting research and delivering presentations in the areas of ambulatory care clinical practice and management. Most recently he was professor of clinical pharmacy at The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy. Beatty was the first pharmacist to practice within the OSU General Internal Medicine clinics, where he developed pharmacy services, educated medical residents and student pharmacists, and trained more than 20 pharmacy residents at the site.
“We feel very fortunate to welcome Dr. Beatty to our Ohio Northern University community, where our College of Pharmacy has operated as a nationally-renowned legacy program for 138 years,” says Julie Hurtig, Ph.D., provost and vice president for academic affairs. “As someone who has a wealth of teaching and managerial experience, a passion for pharmacy practice, and a calling to serve patients, Dr. Beatty will provide visionary direction to our exceptional students, faculty, and staff.”
