Research
Dr. Perepelkin’s research focuses on three primary areas. His research on marketing, branding, and service quality in pharmacy focuses on how marketing and branding has been, and can be used to advance the profession so that pharmacists are better utilized, and how patients perceive service quality in community pharmacies. A second research program focuses on how the social and administrative (managerial) aspects of practice are and can be used to provide better patient care in a dynamic practice environment. Lastly, a third area of inquiry centres on teaching innovation in pharmacy management and marketing, and how to prepare students for the realities of practice in a manner that is learner-focused.
