 Nicole
Brandt, PharmD, BCPP, CGP Associate Professor Geriatric Pharmacotherapy,
Director of Clinical and Educational Programs at the Peter Lamy
Center on Drug Therapy and Aging, Department of Pharmacy Practice
and Science, University of MD School of Pharmacy. She earned her
doctorate in pharmacy in 1997 and joined the faculty of University
of Maryland after a year of service as the coordinator of pharmacy
educational and clinical services at the Rosewood Center and Spring
Grove Hospital.
She completed
a geriatric residency focusing on skills in clinical pharmacy
to complete prospective medication reviews in assisted living
facilities and evaluating health outcomes. As the Deputy Director
of the Lamy Center she coordinates the educational initiatives
of the "Elder Education" programs, as well as conducts research
in geriatric medication and education issues. She has recently
redone the ElderCare Brochures as well as create "Know Your Medicine"
brochures. Dr. Brandt’s most recent research includes working
with the Maryland Geriatrics and Gerontology Education and Research
Program (GGEAR) on a project investigating medication management
in congregate housing.
This pilot
program developed into an AARP Andrus Foundation grant, which
is validating an instrument for identifying medication deficiencies.
This tool will be used on future collaborative studies linking
it to appropriate interventions based on deficiencies. As a clinician,
she works on a geriatric evaluation medical unit (GEMU) at the
Baltimore VAMC and consults on two different comprehensive geriatric
assessment programs at Sinai Hospital and Baltimore VAMC.
She has recently
contracted with ElderHealth, a managed care organization that
provides care to Medicare and Medicaid eligible seniors, to provide
pharmaceutical care. She is also the coursemaster for geriatric
experiential sites and she teaches several courses focusing on
geriatric pharmacy and gerontology issues. She mentors and precepts
students who are interested in geriatric pharmacotherapy at various
geriatric elective sites. In addition, she is the program director
for a specialized geriatric pharmacy resident.
