About James Taylor

Hello, my name is Jim Taylor, and I am a clinical professor in the University of Florida Department of Pharmacotherapy and Translational Research. I received my doctor of pharmacy degree from Ohio Northern University. Upon graduation, I completed an ASHP-accredited pharmacy practice residency at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Huntington, West Virginia, and then completed a family medicine residency at UF. After graduating pharmacy school, I spent two years completing additional residency training focused on ambulatory care. I am a certified diabetes educator and board-certified ambulatory care pharmacist.

After becoming interested in pursuing a career in health care, I spent time shadowing a pharmacist and really enjoyed the patient interactions and helping patients with their medications. I currently serve as the pharmacy director for the UF Health Shands Anticoagulation Clinic and director of the Professional Practice Skills Lab series for the UF College of Pharmacy. I coordinate the third-year lab courses and am responsible for oversight of the third- and fourth-year OSCEs.

In past years, I practiced in a family practice clinic and served as residency director for an ambulatory care residency. I have had an active role in the Laboratory Instructors SIG since 2016, serving as chair of the mentoring and networking committee for the past three years. I have presented at the AACP Annual Meeting on Lab SIG topics and lead Lab SIG webinars. I have given numerous other professional presentations on diabetes, anticoagulation and other primary care topics, and I have published extensively on primary care and educational topics such as OSCEs. Finally, I have served as principal investigator and co-principal investigator for a number of clinical trials.

In addition to clinical practice, I spend a significant amount of time educating pharmacy students in the classroom and in clinical environments. My current research interests include assessing APPE readiness and anticoagulation. I have over 20 years of experience managing chronic mediations and am currently focused on managing all the patients on anticoagulant therapies.

I am married with two children. When I’m not working, you can find me exercising, playing golf or spending time with my family.
