Research Interests

 

 

Dr. Estus’ practice and teaching interests involve geriatrics/long-term care and providing opportunities for students to interact and improve communication skills with older adults.  In her geriatric practice precepting Doctor of Pharmacy students, Dr. Estus introduces students to a variety of settings including independent community, assisted living and nursing home/skilled environments. In addition, she co-coordinates and teaches a professional geriatrics elective within the curriculum.

Dr. Estus offers students the opportunity to learn about many aspects of long- term care pharmacy through her affiliation with a national provider of long-term care pharmacy services. She is an adjunct faculty member of the Rhode Island Geriatric Education Center and an active member of the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists (ASCP). As a way to encourage students to be more engaged in outreach activities with older adults, Dr. Estus started a student ASCP chapter at URI and is the faculty advisor for this group.
