Andrew R. Zullo, PharmD, ScM, PhD is a nursing home / long-term care pharmacoepidemiologist and health services researcher.
His main research interest is in the study of prescription drug effects, particularly in frail older adults and nursing home residents. He applies comparative effectiveness and safety methodologies to patient-centered outcomes research topics in diabetes, cardiovascular disease, fractures/osteoporosis, nephrology, and more. His other interests include 1) the quality and determinants of medication use, 2) personal prescription drug importation, and 3) new models of pharmaceutical care delivery and medication management.
