She is a graduate of the Community/Ambulatory Care Residency at The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy (COP). Dr. Rodis is a Regular Clinical Track Faculty Member and serves as Associate Dean for Outreach and Engagement at COP.

Dr. Rodis’s research aligns with her aim to advance patient access to pharmacist-provided care which involves investigations and papers on individual service developments, multi-site or statewide advancement projects, student education on practice and professional advancement, as well as policy papers that influence these topics. She co-leads an academic Pharmacy Practice Advancement and Advocacy Fellowship to support these endeavors.
