Christopher J . Destache, PharmD, FCCP, BCIDP

Professor

Pharmacy

Christopher J. Destache graduated from Creighton University in 1984 with his Doctor of Pharmacy degree.  After completing a one-year Family Medicine Research Fellowship, he was hired as the Director of the Clinical Pharmacokinetic Service at St. Joseph Hospital (now Creighton University Medical Center) and Assistant Professor of Pharmacy Practice, Creighton University (non-tenure).  He remained the Director of the CPS until 1993 when he moved to a tenure-track position at Creighton University School of Pharmacy and was promoted and tenured in 1995.  Dr. Destache practices and teaches in Infectious Diseases.  In 2006, he was promoted to Professor of Pharmacy Practice and Infectious Diseases at Creighton University Schools of Pharmacy and Medicine.  Dr. Destache precepts 4th year pharmacy students on the Infectious Diseases Consultation clerkship at Creighton University Medical Center – Bergan Mercy Hospital, is primarily involved with pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) patients, teaches didactically in pharmacy and physician assistant programs and lectures to infectious diseases fellows.  Finally, Dr. Destache is involved with research projects dealing with clinical infectious diseases.
