Dr. Duprey received his Doctor of Pharmacy from Wayne State University, followed by completion of a PGY1 pharmacy practice residency at the University of Illinois Chicago and a PGY2 critical care/nutrition support specialty residency at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. He is recognized as board certified in Critical Care Pharmacotherapy. He received his Doctor of Philosophy in Population Health from Northeastern University with a concentration on the Pharmacoepidemiology of Delirium. He also spent two years as a post-doctoral associate and investigator at the Brown University School of Public Health working on issues related to medications and fall-related injuries among older adults residing in nursing homes.



Dr. Duprey's research program focuses on improving medication use for critically ill patients and older adults, with a focus on delirium care. He utilizes his clinical experience and research training to better understand the role medications play in unique syndromes in acutely and critically ill patients. He has a special interest in the role of medications as risk factors, preventative agents, and treatments for intensive care syndromes. Dr. Duprey also has experience studying the effects of pain and analgesia, the role of sedation for critically ill patients, and the impact of sleep within the ICU.



Dr. Duprey is an active member of the Society for Critical Care Medicine, the International Society for Pharmacoepidemiology, the American Delirium Society, and the American College of Clinical Pharmacy. He was recognized in 2020 as one of the two inaugural recipients of the Borten Family Foundation Junior Investigator Award for his contributions to the field of delirium research and to the American Delirium Society.



Outside of work, Dr. Duprey enjoys spending time with his wife and daughters, working out, and watching sports.
