Rebekah Wrenn

Board-Certified Infectious Diseases Clinical Pharmacist with over 14 years of experience in both community and academic healthcare settings. Highly results-driven, with a proven track record in building and leading high-performing, innovative teams that deliver measurable improvements in patient care outcomes. Subject matter expert in infectious diseases pharmacotherapy, with an interest in cutting-edge microbiology technologies and the application of artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare, to enhance decision-making and streamline antimicrobial stewardship practices.

My career began in HIV research at GlaxoSmithKline, where I honed my analytical skills in the pharmaceutical industry. I then pursued a Doctor of Pharmacy degree at UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, followed by completing a pharmacy practice residency and a specialty residency in infectious diseases pharmacotherapy at Wake Forest Baptist Health. Since completing my residency, I have dedicated my career to advancing the field of Infectious Diseases and Antimicrobial Stewardship, with a particular focus on incorporating innovative strategies to improve patient care. I currently serve as the Manager of Infectious Diseases Pharmacy Services, where I lead multidisciplinary antimicrobial stewardship and ambulatory Infectious Diseases programs, guide formulary decisions, and optimize patient outcomes, and ensure regulatory compliance. I've built successful teams, implemented cutting-edge stewardship strategies, and driven meaningful reductions in antimicrobial utilization.

I am an active committee member and speaker for prominent national and local professional societies, including the Society of Infectious Diseases Pharmacists (SIDP), the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), and the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA). My contributions to these organizations reflect my commitment to staying at the forefront of the field and driving continuous improvement in healthcare practices.
