Professor Sepassi is a pharmacist, health economist, and outcomes researcher. She graduated from the University of California, San Diego's PharmD program in 2016, and then pursued a two year post-doctoral fellowship in health economics and outcomes research, with a focus in pharmacogenomics. During her time as a fellow, she published on the incremental cost of care for patients experiencing a venous thromboembolism post-operatively. Prior to joining the University of California, Irvine, she worked for Becton Dickinson (BD)'s health economics and outcomes research department as a senior manager. Currently, Professor Sepassi is pursuing a Master's Degree of Advanced Science in Clinical Research from the University of California, San Diego. Her research interests include investigating barriers of access to care, economic burden of mental illnesses, and researching the impact of cost-effective interventions on outcomes (such as improved pharmacist involvement in the healthcare team). Professor Sepassi has mentored several students who have gone on to accept fellowship and industry positions.
