Emergency Medicine Clinical Pharmacist
MedStar Washington Hospital Center
My name is Dave Shifrin, PharmD, BCPS and I am currently the Emergency Medicine Clinical Pharmacist at MedStar Washington Hospital Center in Washington D.C. I completed my PGY-1 Pharmacy Practice Residency completed at Cleveland Clinic Medina Hospital. After completing my residency, I helped develop and implement ED clinical pharmacy services at Cleveland Clinic Medina Hospital. After two successful years, I was brought on board to Cleveland Clinic Fairview Hospital where I helped to expand clinical pharmacy services and create a PGY-2 Emergency Medicine Pharmacy Residency. Most recently, I transitioned to MedStar Washington Hospital Center to create clinical pharmacy services at the largest and busiest Level 1 trauma center and burn center in the D.C. area.
Pertinent research completed in:
Ketamine for analgesia in the ED.
Implementation and review of a hyptersentive urgency and emergency care path in the ED.
Implementation of a comprehensive care path for the management of atrial fibrillation in the ED.
Practice areas that are of interest to me include trauma, neurologic emergencies and toxicology.
