Eric Johnston, PharmD

PGY2 Critical Care

Hometown: Geneseo, Illinois

Pharmacy School: St. Louis College of Pharmacy

Career Interests: Mostly MICU - septic shock, hepatology, respiratory failure; precepting/teaching; clinical research

Hobbies: Anything to stay active! Running, biking, hiking, etc. Homebrewing my own beer and visiting breweries. Hanging out with my two dogs and trying new restaurants or traveling with my wife.

Medication Use Evaluation:
Tobramycin use in the ICU

Residency Research Project:
Empiric use of milrinone in subarachnoid hemorrhage to reduce the incidence of cerebral vasospasm

Why WVU Medicine:
WVU Medicine initially interested me due to the breadth of critical care experiences available to me and high level of acuity that I would see. After meeting various preceptors and program leadership during my interview, I knew without a doubt that WVU Medicine was the perfect place for me to be challenged as a developing practitioner yet be supported with strong mentorship. I believe being a good pharmacist is about more than just clinical knowledge and I am excited to see where my time at WVU Medicine takes me!
