(Courtesy of Touro University) Dr. Fraidy N. Maltz, B.S., PharmD, BCACP, was named assistant Dean of student affairs and administration at Touro College of Pharmacy (TCOP). Maltz served as director of student engagement, developmental portfolios and co-curricular learning for the past two years. She led TCOP’s co-curricular program, promoting student involvement in on-campus activities and community events and serving as an advisor to the Student Government Association and student organizations.
In her new position, Maltz will be TCOP’s chief student services officer, supervising student services, mental health counseling, disability services and serving as TCOP’s liaison to the library, bursar, financial aid, security, student insurance and more. She will oversee administrative operations and functions at TCOP and will continue as an associate professor in the Department of Pharmacy Practice.
“As assistant dean of student affairs and administration, I am looking forward to working with TCOP students to address their individual needs, to promote their well-being and to provide them with the support and opportunities they need to achieve great success both academically and professionally,” said Maltz.
“Pharmacy is a versatile profession that offers numerous career paths. In addition to working in community pharmacies or hospitals, pharmacists can specialize in clinical areas such as ambulatory care, critical care, oncology, infectious diseases and pediatrics, with individualized board certification. Other career pathways include working in the pharmaceutical industry, in managed care and long-term care. I hope to help prepare our students for any of the exciting career paths in pharmacy that they choose to pursue,” continued Maltz.
Maltz earned a bachelor of science degree in pharmacy summa cum laude and her PharmD from the Arnold & Marie Schwartz College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences of Long Island University, where she was selected for membership in the Rho Chi Honor Society and Phi Lambda Sigma Pharmacy Leadership Society. Before coming to TCOP, Maltz had two decades of teaching experience at LIU Pharmacy. She has also served as a clinical pharmacist in the community pharmacy practice setting, where she ran disease state management programs and performed medication therapy management. Her recent research interests have focused on student learning. Maltz is a member of several professional pharmacy associations and is board certified in ambulatory care.
