Clinical Research

Dr. Roland N. Dickerson is a Professor of Clinical Pharmacy and Translational Science and has been at the UTCOP since 1992. As a Clinical Pharmacist and Clinical Coordinator of the Nutrition Support SErvice at Regional One Health, pharmaceutical care is provided to approximately 12 to 20 patients daily. It is from this population where his practice-changing research initiatives are conducted. Dr. Dickerson is a board-certified nutrition support pharmacist, been actively engaged in clinical practice, research, and education for nearly 40 years. He has given over 200 international, national, and regional invited presentation and has trained over 80 critical care/nutrition support pharmacy residents, research fellows, and international pharmacists in nutrition support therapy. Currently, he has over 200 publications of which many have led to improvements in the clinical care of patients who require parenteral or enteral nutrition therapy. These efforts have included development and validation of methods for safe and effective glycemic control with insulin therapy, intravenous electrolyte dosing, intravenous fluid therapy, investigation of energy and protein requirements for various disease conditions, improvement in enteral nutrition delivery, avoidance of overfeeding complications, and resolution of pertinent drug-nutrient interaction. He is most noted for his series of investigations that led to a major paradigm shift in how to manage hospitalized patients with obesity using hypocaloric, high protein nutrition therapy. As of 2022, Dr. Dickerson is the only clinical pharmacist awardee of the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN)'s highest honor, the Jonathan Rhoads Research Lecture Award (2012) since the award's inception in 1978. Dickerson is also the recipient of the John M. Kinney International Award in Nutrition for the best clinical paper in the category of General Nutrition published in the journal Nutrition from 2008-2009 (2010) and has been awarded the American Society of Health-Systems Pharmacists Sustained Contributions to the Literature Award (2009) and the American College of Clinical Pharmacy Clinical Practice Award (2015). Furthermore, he is the recipient of ASPEN's Excellence in Nutrition SUpport Education Award (2016) and the Stanley Serlick Award for parenteral nutrition safety (2018). Dickerson is a fellow of the American College of Clinical PHarmacy, the American College of Critical Care Medicine, the American Society of Health-Systems Pharmacists, and the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition. His sustained and extensive contributions to the pharmacy profession have been acknowledged by his alma maters Temple University School of Pharmacy, where he earned his BS in Pharmacy in 1979, and the University of Tennessee College of Pharmacy, where he earned his PharmD in 1982, by receipt of these institutions' Outstanding Alumnus Awards in 2011 and 2018, respectively.

My research is focused on everyday issues affecting pharmacy practitioners and other healthcare professionals including projects focused on: workforce development, medication safety, continuing professional development, and the scholarship of teaching and learning.

I have collaborated with a number of UT faculty and students on all 3 campuses. In addition, through the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP), I have been able to collaborate with pharmacy faculty across the nation.

Currently, Drs. Hohmeier, Renfro, Wang, and I are completing a three-phase pharmacy technician workforce study sponsored by PTCB.  We are analyzing roles and responsibilities of pharmacy technicians and exploring workflow models that allow pharmacies to pursue increasing clinical services.

Alec Sain (P3), Dviti Mody (P3), and I are partnering with the Shade Tree Clinic, a clinic run by Vanderbilt medical students, on a scholarship of teaching and learning project titled “Assessing the impact of an educational enhanced podcast series focused on the dispensing of high alert diabetic medications on student performance and confidence in a student run free clinic.

Dr. Wood’s research primarily focuses on improving the management of hospital-acquired infections in critically ill trauma patients.  Research areas have included the treatment of highly-resistant Gram-negative infections, use of aerosolized antibiotics in ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), improving the diagnosis of VAP, optimal duration of therapy for various infections (VAP, bacteremia, UTI), pharmacokinetics and pulmonary penetration of antibiotics, and genomic risk for VAP.  He also occasionally publishes on the improving the management of traumatic brain injury and acute spinal cord injury.
