Role Overview and Bio

Dr. Bostwick is the Associate Dean for Student Affairs and Clinical Professor of Pharmacy at the University of Michigan College of Pharmacy.

She received her PharmD degree from the University of Michigan College of Pharmacy. Following graduation, she completed a specialty residency in psychiatric pharmacy with Kaiser Permanente in Denver, CO. She practiced as a psychiatric pharmacist for 15 years, developing pharmacy services in inpatient and outpatient psychiatry, before transitioning into her administrative role in student affairs.

She coordinates the Lifelong Learning course sequence and co-created the well-being and leadership elective courses. She is actively engaged in the American Association of Psychiatric Pharmacists (AAPP), currently serving as President. Dr. Bostwick is also a member of the Rho Chi Pharmacy Honor Society and has published more than 85 articles and book chapters, largely focusing in psychiatry, teaching, and the role of psychiatric pharmacists.

In her free time, she enjoys hiking and traveling the world with her spouse (another University of Michigan College of Pharmacy alum!) and two children. Between trips, you can find her checking her Goodreads app for her next audiobook, sweating it out at Orangetheory, or dragging a friend out for a walk as cover for yet another acai bowl run.
