Jeremy Daniel, an associate professor at South ��ֱ���� State University, is among the inaugural class of fellows for the American Association of Psychiatric Pharmacists.

Daniel, who has been on the faculty of the College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions for 10.5 years, received notice in February that he had been selected. He is among 47 fellows who will be recognized at the annual meeting of the American Association of Psychiatric Pharmacists in Salt Lake City, Utah, April 28.

The AAPP fellows program is designed to honor those who have demonstrated excellence in advancing the practice of psychiatric pharmacy as well as promoting awareness of the profession.

Dan Hansen, dean of the college, called Daniel’s selection “further proof of Jeremy’s commitment to patient care and his innate ability to balance faculty responsibilities with those of a clinical pharmacist. He is a great clinician and our students enjoy having the opportunity to learn alongside him.”

Daniel, a board-certified psychiatric pharmacist, has been a member of the association since 2010 when he was a founding member of the AAPP student chapter at Purdue University. Since that time, he has served as a mentor for students at the association’s annual meeting, poster reviewer and judge for student and resident posters, and recognized as an Outstanding Peer Reviewer four times for the Mental Health Clinician, the association’s journal.  

He also helped found and has served on the organization’s diversity, equity and inclusion committee for the past four years.

In addition to his teaching position, Daniel also has an inpatient-based practice at Avera Behavioral Health Hospital in Sioux Falls. He also is interested in forensic psychopharmacology and rural transitions of care.

His research interests include mental health stigma, pharmacogenomics, bipolar disorder and substance use disorder with a focus on marijuana and methamphetamine.

He teaches on the use of pharmaceuticals in relation to mental health, neurology, and pharmacogenomics, or the study of how one’s genes influence the response to medications. 

Daniel also is the adviser for the student chapter of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy.

Daniel is a graduate of Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in medicinal chemistry and molecular pharmacology in 2010 and his Doctor of Pharmacy degree in 2012. He also completed two years of postgraduate residency training at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky.
