Biography
Leigh Ann Bynum, Ph.D., has been a distinguished member of the Belmont faculty since August 2011, contributing her expertise in Pharmaceutical Sciences with a focus on Pharmacy Administration. A graduate of the University of Mississippi, she earned her Doctor of Philosophy, delving into the dynamics of Psychological Contract Breach, Professional Identity, and Organizational Citizenship Behaviors among Pharmacy Faculty.
Before embarking on her doctoral journey, Dr. Bynum worked in the University of Mississippi's human resource department, handling a diverse array of employment issues and spearheading the employee training and development program. Subsequently, she served as the Director of Market Services at Baptist Memorial Healthcare Corporation, where her responsibilities spanned occupational health, physician contracting, sales, and marketing within the provider network.
In the early stages of her academic career, Dr. Bynum’s research covered areas such as human resource management in healthcare and the influence of medication synchronization on patient adherence and employee job satisfaction. Additionally, she explored the correlation between pharmacy faculty members' work-related attitudes, teaching philosophy, and their ability to counsel pharmacy students. Dr. Bynum's scholarly pursuits have evolved into a more interdisciplinary approach, reflected in her recent publications which span diverse subject areas. She has delved into topics such as Intimate Partner Violence, Health Outcome differences for historically marginalized populations, Pharmacy Students' Perceptions of Point of Care HIV testing, and Innovative Teaching and Learning Techniques in both professional and undergraduate student populations.
