Andrea Hoyt, PharmD, JD, MPA

Andrea Hoyt is the Compliance Program Manager with the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services Bureau of Medical Cannabidiol. She is a proud three-time Drake University alum, with degrees in pharmacy, law, and public administration. While in school, she focused on how compliance interfaces with healthcare, and how that interface impacts patients on both individual and systemic levels. In her current role, she manages compliance on both the patient registration side and the dispensary/manufacturer side for the state's medical cannabis program. Andrea is licensed as both an attorney and a pharmacist in Iowa, and still practices as an inpatient/outpatient pharmacist for a local hospital on the weekends. When she isn't working, Andrea can probably be found snuggled up with her golden retriever Dug.
