David Brushwood, BS, Pharm, JD, currently has two streams of research; one is focused on patient safety, and the other concentrates on end-of-life-care policy. As the co-recipient of a grant from the Borchard Foundation in 1999-2000, Professor Brushwood studied the feasibility of establishing a systematic approach to the monitoring of adverse drug effects in the elderly, following the release into the market of newly approved drugs. As Principal Investigator on a year 2000 to 2001 grant from the Institute for the Advancement of Community Pharmacy, Professor Brushwood coordinated projects that examined the feasibility and safety of unit-of-use packaging for pharmaceutical products. He also recently studied the legal implications of formulary decisions, under a grant from Pharmacia Corporation. Professor Brushwood was selected as a 1999-2000 Mayday Scholar by the American Society of Law, Medicine and Ethics. His research for that project addressed the subject of "collegial accountability" as a way to improve pain management for patients. Professor Brushwood is an Investigator on a grant awarded to the University of Florida College of Medicine by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. His participation in that grant will produce a statewide network of clinical pharmacist pain management consultants. Professor Brushwood is Co-Investigator on a grant awarded by the National Institutes of Health, in which he and colleague Carole Kimberlin are studying methods of enabling pain-related dialogue between health care providers and patients.
