Nicholas D'Apice, PharmD, BCACP

Nicholas D’Apice, PharmD, is a Clinical Pharmacy Specialist in gastroenterology who has quickly emerged as a leader in outpatient care. With five years of pharmacy experience—three in his current specialty—he focuses extensively on biologic medications, guiding patients through the complexities of starting or switching therapies. His expertise extends beyond the clinic, with co-authored publications on biosimilars and the patient experience that contribute to shaping national conversations on treatment transitions and healthcare access. A graduate of Northeastern University’s Doctor of Pharmacy program in 2020, D’Apice honed his skills through a PGY1 residency at Temple University Hospital and a PGY2 in Ambulatory Care at Kaiser Permanente Colorado. These formative experiences solidified his evidence-based, patient-first philosophy, which now drives his work in bridging medical protocols with clear, compassionate patient education. Deeply committed to mentorship, D’Apice trains residents in his clinic, fostering a culture of critical thinking and collaborative care. His personal passion for pharmacy is rooted in his own family’s story—watching his mother persevere through three battles with cancer, and seeing firsthand the impact of targeted therapies on quality of life. This early inspiration fuels his dedication to delivering both scientific precision and human connection in his practice. Currently, D’Apice is spearheading a quality improvement initiative to expand access to Shingrix vaccinations for immunocompromised patients under 50. This project reflects his broader mission: to remove barriers, advance preventive care, and ensure that vulnerable populations receive the attention they deserve. Through innovation, education, and advocacy, he continues to set a high standard for the evolving role of pharmacists in specialized care.
