Brandon Powell, PharmD

Push dose pressors might be controversial or have varying opinions. But what isn’t controversial is that code/cardiac epi ≠ push dose epi for a patient with a pulse. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

ICU Facts: I am neither a nephrologist not a hepatologist but I don't think I am too far from truth if I say that hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is one of the most misused & misunderstood diagnoses in the ICU

@NicoleHPharmD Congratulations!! Lucky to have you on the team!

Only 4 weeks of residency left (🙌🏻) and I’m so excited to share that I’ve accepted a position as an Infectious Diseases and Antimicrobial Stewardship Clinical Pharmacist at UAB! Excited to start my career here in Birmingham and continue to work alongside some awesome folks! 🦠💊

@HannahD_PharmD @uncrxresidency Congratulations!

I thought it was finally time to share that I’ve early committed to the PGY-2 critical care pharmacy residency program at UNC! I’m so grateful for this program and I’m absolutely honored that I get to continue my training here. #GDTBATH #livingthedream

@AndreaSikora @IanBHollis Three great preceptors…and great patient initials!

@gracilizumab @MitchBPharmD @emirkobic20 Yes, I use former preceptors too! @IanBHollis gets a lot of HF exacerbations. Twitterless BM and SCB get ARDS and sepsis, respectively.

@strivewithkris1 My pharmacy school had a couple people come and speak with us in the final year. Nothing super consistent or in depth.

PAs/APRNs/PharmDs - did you receive any education on managing your debt or personal finance during your training?

@iyer_prashanth Looks great man! Send me a picture once you set up the bottles 👍

If I’m ever paralyzed and aware of it, I will come back to haunt you. Sedate me. #stoweem23 @EmergPharm @RxEmergency

Why has it taken me this long to realize how good the Great British Baking Show is for self care?

Thankful for a week free of digifab. @BrandonDPowell

@TillmanPharmD @kamakshi_rao Congratulations!

I have trained some talented residents, but more importantly, ones who challenged me to build a program that embraces authenticity and wellness. Excited to see the work of an invested team of residents and preceptors shared! Shoutout @TillmanPharmD for leading the way!

@anandiyermd @GeriPulm Completely agree. Important for both inpatient and outpatient settings!

@MadelineEFuller Congratulations!

So excited to officially be a Board Certified Cardiology Pharmacist! 🫀#BCCP

@AndreaSikora @SCCM_CPP @SCCM @accpcritprn Congratulations! Well deserved!

Incredibly special to see the MRCICU Investigator Team recognized for this publication >60 investigators (28 centers) plus ~dozen of unnamed mentors joining forces via @SCCM_CPP @SCCM to make this study a reality Heres to every ICU patient having a pharmacist! @accpcritprn

@gretchemaben Have fun! I just got back from a Grand Teton, Yellowstone, and Glacier trip. It’s amazing out there.

Heading out for our first hike of the trip! 😍

@mlbrownrx @DougWylie8 @emilyp_pharmD I’m going camping this weekend, so if I get admitted with an ID mystery next week please give me all the doxy

@DougWylie8 @emilyp_pharmD Ahh yes, doxycycline…a good first round pick in an antibiotic all-star draft. Versatile activity ✅ Low risk of C. diff ✅ IV and PO ✅ What more could anyone want? academic.oup.com/ofid/article/4…

"When in doubt, add doxycycline" -@emilyp_pharmD #TwitteRx

@iyer_prashanth I’ve been wanting to try a CH!

@AliviaPharmD Most days in residency you are already preparing for the exam during patient care! If you’re wanting to do BPS specific studying, I’d recommend starting by aligning it with your rotations/topic discussions and then going from there. You’ve got this!

How early is too early to start studying for BCPS? Asking for a friend 😝

Excited to have passed my critical care board certification exam! Extremely thankful for my training and preceptors at @uncrx_critcare. #GDTBATH #LTD BCCCP✅

@littlecheee @AUG_Health @ResidencyEm @UABEmergencyMed Congratulations!
