Auburn University Harrison College of Pharmacy Division of Clinical Affairs & Outreach

Auburn University Harrison College of Pharmacy’s Division of Clinical Affairs and Outreach (CAO) is the division of the college that provides direct patient care and clinical outreach. CAO operates four community pharmacies and three interprofessional clinics where faculty, staff, and student pharmacists provide progressive pharmacy services in a collaborative environment. CAO partners with the university, as well as local and state governments and public health agencies to be best positioned to identify and immediately respond to community health needs.

CAO’s works diligently to bolster vaccine rates by promoting vaccinations, providing vaccine education, and offering individualized vaccine consults. CAO routinely administers thousands of adolescent and adult vaccines each year, but they are also responsive to acute public health needs. During the H1N1 and COVID-19 pandemics, CAO led vaccine efforts for the campus and community. In fact, through a coordinated, interprofessional effort, 20,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses were administered through this initiative. In addition to local efforts, CAO led the COVID-19 vaccine response for state employees and state legislators.

The department also plays a critical role within the local community. Recently, CAO developed a strategic partnership with Auburn City Schools to provide care for underserved youth who were on long wait lists for mandatory school vaccines. CAO was able to utilize the federal vaccines for children program to timely provide these vaccines to avoid missed class days. CAO has also partnered with the Auburn Rural Health Initiative to provide vaccine clinics in rural, underserved communities. Finally, CAO has worked to increase vaccine rates for adolescent vaccines based on state public health priorities.

CAO’s has received several recognitions for their vaccine initiatives including two AU Presidential Awards for Collaboration (2023- Rural Health and 2021- COVID-19), a 2021 commendation from the Alabama House of Representatives, and a 2014 AU Spirit of Sustainability Award.
