Gloria Niemeyer Francke Leadership Mentor Award

2023 Gloria Niemeyer Francke Leadership Mentor Award Recipient

Kimberly Broedel-Zaugg, BS Pharm, MBA, PhD

Dr. Broedel-Zaugg grew up in Southeastern Ohio along the banks of the Ohio River. She graduated from Ohio Northern University in 1981 with a BS degree in Pharmacy. For the first eight years of her career, she practiced in hospital pharmacies and studied business at Ashland University where she received an MBA. Wanting to shift her career into teaching, she continued her studies at The Ohio State University where she received her PhD in 1993 in pharmacy social and administrative sciences with emphasis on healthcare administration. She began teaching at Ohio Northern in 1994. At Ohio Northern, Dr. Broedel-Zaugg taught practice lab, sterile products, calculations, healthcare systems, management, and several electives. Some of those electives involved research independent study that resulted in presentations and publications for students. She also served as advisor of the Psi chapter of Kappa Epsilon for 17 years. In addition, she received funding for Elder Care Seminars that provided students the opportunity to give presentations to senior citizens in the rural communities surrounding Ada, Ohio. In 2011, she left Ohio Northern at the rank of full professor with tenure to help found a new pharmacy school in Huntington, WV. In a return to the banks of the Ohio River, Dr. Broedel-Zaugg shifted her career to a management role of founding faculty and department chair of pharmacy practice at Marshall University’s new School of Pharmacy. She found bright, energetic faculty members, developed curricula, networked with pharmacies in the area, and taught in multiple courses. The school helped develop ambulatory care and hospital residencies, added professional organizations, provided community service, and grew. COVID-19 added challenges. Overnight the school switched from in person classes to a remote platform. As vaccines became available, students with faculty administered thousands of COVID-19 vaccines and tests. Dr. Broedel-Zaugg retired in 2022.
