Research Interests:

Dr. Haase’s research expertise is in the area of critical care, particularly focusing on sepsis treatment strategies and outcomes from sepsis across different patient populations. Dr. Haase’s previous work was in infectious diseases including pharmacodynamics and characterization of pathogens based upon potential for resistance development. Her collaborative projects have been presented at national conferences. In addition to practice-based research, Dr. Haase has a secondary interest in research based upon experiential education of both students and residents.

Practice Focus:
Dr. Haase practices at Northwest Texas Hospital as a member of the Texas Tech Critical Care and Internal Medicine rounding teams. Dr. Haase has previously practiced in the Infectious Disease Clinic at the Amarillo VA Medical Center.

Professional Service:
Dr. Haase is involved in several professional organizations. She has served as Chair of the Adult Medicine Practice and Research Network and has served as member or chair for several committees for the American College of Clinical Pharmacists (ACCP). She most recently chaired the Educational Affairs Subcommittee that developed both a White Paper and Position Statement on Quality Experiential Education and is currently chair of a task force that is developing guidelines for assessment of direct patient care experiences. Dr. Haase has supported residency training at the local, state, and national level.
