Craig A Rohan, MD
I joined the Wright State Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology in 2019, as I completed a career as a physician in the United States Air Force. I teach medical students in the MD MS program and serve as an investigator at the Pharmacology Translational Unit, Wright State University's clinical trial unit. As a physician, I have practiced in both pediatrics and dermatology, having completed residencies in both specialties. I arrived in the Dayton area in 2011 and prior to joining Wright State, I had been assigned to Wright Patterson Medical Center, an academic medical center integrated with the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine and the Dayton VA Medical Center. I have also served as a medical advisor for wound care research at the Air Force Research Lab and Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine.

Teaching
In addition to the medical school lectures and MD MS classes I teach in the Department of Pharmacology And Toxicology, I routinely lecture medical students, resident physicians and attending physicians in multiple departments. I have given grand rounds lectures to the following Wright State University medical departments: Dermatology, Pediatrics, Emergency Medicine and Obstetrics/Gynecology. During my military career, I also gave invited grand rounds lectures at the former Walter Reed Medical Center, Washington, DC, National Naval Medical Center, Bethesda, MD and at the Military Health System Annual Meetings.
Research Statement
My research is conducted at the Pharmacology Translational Unit at Wright State University. This clinical trial unit is led by Dr Jeffrey Travers and the unit also has three full-time research coordinators, a regulatory specialist, and a marketing/outreach director. We perform investigator initiated trials and help conduct pharma clinical trials of new and emerging therapies. We currently have 12 clinical trials in place and are continually competing for additional studies.
