Leticia Moczygemba, Pharm.D., Ph.D.

Professor, Lonnie F. Hollingsworth, Sr. Centennial Fellow

Health Outcomes Division, The University of Texas College of Pharmacy

Dr. Moczygemba is a Professor in the Health Outcomes Division and Associate Director of the Texas Center for Health Outcomes Research and Education at The University of Texas College of Pharmacy (UTCOP). Her research program focuses on working with communities and health-systems to mitigate health disparities by developing innovative, patient-centered interventions to optimize medication use and health outcomes.

Guided by the principles of community-engaged and practice-based research, she routinely uses qualitative and quantitative techniques, program evaluation, and the science of quality improvement to advance the health of people experiencing homelessness, low-income adults and people living in rural areas by tailoring interventions to hard-to-reach groups using end-user input and feedback.

For the past 14 years, she has worked with communities and health systems, including federally-qualified health centers, church-based organizations, pharmacies, and community partners in Virginia, Texas, and Florida, to mitigate health inequities by developing and testing multi-level interventions to optimize health outcomes. She is currently the Principal Investigator of a 5-year, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) funded grant that aims to refine and test a community-based mHealth intervention, which aims to decrease emergency department use and hospitalizations among people experiencing homelessness. She is also the Co-Principal Investigator of a statewide project in Texas, funded by the Texas Department of State Health Services/CDC, that focuses on enhancing pharmacist services in community pharmacies in medically underserved areas.

Dr. Moczygemba was a 2017 NIH mHealth Scholar. She was selected as an American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy Leadership Fellow in 2018 and an American Pharmacists Association Fellow in 2020. Dr. Moczygemba received her Pharm.D. and Ph.D. from the UTCOP in 2004 and 2008, respectively, and has been recognized with the UTCOP Distinguished Young Alumnus Award.
