Steve Leuck, PharmD Bio (June 2024)
After graduating University of the Pacific school of pharmacy in 1987, Steve began his practice in a local community hospital pharmacy where he stayed for the 8 years. For the following 18 months, Steve completed a 28-day drug and alcohol treatment program, worked through licensing stipulations with the board of pharmacy, and attended a yearlong course of study to become a certified addiction counselor. 
Steve successfully transitioned back to pharmacy where he worked the next 25 years in a clinic pharmacy for a local community hospital. During this time, Steve developed and implemented a bedside education and meds-to-bed program in order to help educate patients as well as assure they acquired their new medications upon discharge from the hospital.
Throughout this time, Steve founded and developed AudibleRx; an internet-based patient medication education platform designed specifically for those challenged with literacy or visual impairment. In 2023, AudibleRx was donated to a medical information based non-profit organization.
After nearly 33 years of practice with the same institution, Steve retired and took a half-time position for another hospital which allows him time to travel with his wife, ride his bike through the Santa Cruz mountains, and write.
