Katie Peacock, Pharm.D.

Assistant Professor of Pharmacy Practice
Pharmacy

I love being a pharmacist because I am able to serve and support patients in my community.
Music is an important part of my life. As an undergraduate, I was president and proud member of the PC Choir. Now I enjoy singing with my church’s choir in Spartanburg on Sunday mornings, and spending time with my extended family most Sunday afternoons.
I love to travel, and hope to visit all 50 states. I’m almost halfway to my goal!

Research or Areas of Specialty

My research focuses on cardiovascular health outcomes and how the utilization of pharmacy services impacts health, especially in rural communities. I have worked with students to identify effective pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions that have the potential to improve cardiovascular health and quality of life for patients.
