Jennifer Beall has learned there is no place like home. As part of a military family, Beall grew up living overseas. Before joining the military, both her parents attended Samford. "My dad went during the day, and my mom went at night. They would trade me off in the caf at dinner," she said. After graduating from McWhorter School of Pharmacy in 1996, Beall moved to Abilene, Texas, and worked in a hospital pharmacy before returning home to Samford and joining the faculty in 2000. She has served as a faculty preceptor for general medicine advanced experiences, oversaw the school’s Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences, and now teaches and serves in the area of pharmacy simulation. One of the highlights of her service is as a founding member of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare’s Pharmacy Special Interest Group.
