Martin Casey, MD, MPH, is a clinician-researcher in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC). His research interests lie in leveraging the Emergency Department to optimize complex medication regimens of older adults with multiple chronic conditions.
