Jessica Trinh PharmD

Jessica received her Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Loma Linda University School of Pharmacy in Loma Linda, CA in 2022. She then completed a PGY-1 acute care residency at St. Joseph Medical Center in Tacoma, WA. During her residency, she gained experience revising safety resources such as look-alike soundalike and chemotherapy sequencing documents, investigating submissions to the Incident Reporting and Improvement System (IRIS), and creating process change alerts to guide safe practices within her institution. Jessica developed a passion for drug safety after navigating a two-week downtime where she felt empowered in her role as a pharmacist and found excitement in ensuring safe clinical practices through proactive measures.

Jessica worked as a pharmacy intern at Loma Linda University Medical Center before completing her residency. Her role included daily technician duties such as compounding IV’s and management support including reviewing adverse drug event triggers and carrying out recalls and expiration dating. Additionally, Jessica worked as an intern at Grand + Benedicts Store Fixtures in Portland, Oregon, from 2010 to 2018, gaining eight years of marketing experience. She developed proficiency in industry-standard programs like Photoshop, InDesign, and Sage MAS 200 while supporting website management. She gained a sharp sense of detail and a creative outlook on problem-solving as a result of these experiences.

As an FDA/ISMP Medication Safety Management Fellow, Jessica is eager to discover more about developments in drug safety. She aspires to continue evolving her professional growth by working with diverse teams to develop new perspectives, learn how to use various databases and software, and utilize different risk-mitigation strategies. Her long-term professional goal is to become a leader in pharmacovigilance in either a regulatory agency or pharmaceutical sector to positively impact public health outcomes.
