Elizabeth A. Park, Pharm.D., APh
Chief Regulatory Consultant

Dr. Elizabeth Akhparyan Park Pharm.D, APh, received her Pharmacy Doctor degree from the Western University of Health Sciences, then immediately served a one-year ASHP certified, post-graduate Geriatrics Psych residency at the Los Angeles Jewish Home for the Aging as Chief Resident.  In this unique facility, as one of only two ASHP-accredited year-one postgraduate programs in the United States, she created and effectuated several facility-wide interdisciplinary programs focused on reducing pill burden, maximizing drug efficacy, and optimizing target doses for patients.  Her work was recognized by the World Congress of Clinical Pharmacy Practice, for which she presented her experience and findings in Rome, Italy, to Physicians and Pharmacists in 2018.  Dr. Park’s work in long-term care was recognized in receiving the “Innovation and Collaboration in Post-Acute and Long term Care” award from the California Association of Long Term Care Medicine (CALTCM), which ultimately inspired her to form her sub-specialty in regulatory affairs for health care facilities throughout Southern California.  She successfully obtained The Joint Commission Accreditation for many of these facilities, and she is an experienced facilities surveyor for Medicaid compliance per DHCS requirements.  She created innovative auditing procedures for Title 22 Community Care facilities regulated by the California Community Care Licensing Division (CDSS), and she helped facilities pass onsite Board of Pharmacy inspections for their Licensed Sterile Compounding (LSC) permits.

Dr. Park created her consultancy firm, Simplified Medicine, Inc., to consult CPL Clients towards full compliance with regulations and to correct noncompliance through education and real-time assessment.  Dr. Park routinely implements surprise on-site visits for CPL Clients to audit for compliance, to create a compliance culture, and to devise real-world actionable steps towards remediation.  She works with both start-up ventures and established facilities.  The CA Board of Pharmacy has approved Dr. Park to serve as a pharmacist consultant for its probationers, and she is regularly called-upon as an expert witness for various administrative and civil cases involving pharmacy standards of practice and compliance.  

Dr. Park holds licensure as both a Registered Pharmacist and an Advanced Practice Pharmacist, with the California State Board of Pharmacy.
