Dr. Amanda Mixon is on her journey to Switzerland Dec 11-13 as an expert for the WHO's global campaign of Medications without Harm.  This campaign was launched in March 2017 with hopes of reducing avoidable medication-related harm by 50% globally in the next 5 years.  Dr. Mixon's expertise will help:

  • Develop a patient safety tool for medication safety
  • Develop an implementation strategy
  • Develop WHO Medication Safety Curriculum for multi-professionals based on WHO Patient Safety Curriculum
  • Identify research priorities for medication safety from proposed research ideas
  • Identify measurable elements in the three key action areas, namely high risk situations, transitions of care and polypharmacy, and overall for measuring medication-related harm.

Dr. Mixon will also serve as co-chair for the research abstracts for the 2018 Southern Society of General Internal Medicine (SGIM) meeting in New Orleans, LA. She has been a member of the SGIM national research committee for four years.
