Jennifer Wiafe, PharmD
Jennifer Wiafe, PharmD, received a Special Recognition Certificate at Mount Sinai St. Luke’s in December and has glowing letters of recommendation to support the honor.
“Jennifer is the best thing to happen to our Emergency Department,” says Lauren Collins, MSN, RN, Nurse Education Manager. “She is compassionate, caring, brilliant, and empathic. She is also kind and generous and always goes above and beyond for the welfare of her patients and her colleagues. She works side by side with nurses, physicians, and physician assistants, who appreciate her diligence and passion.”
Kaedrea Jackson, MD, MPH, Medical Director of the ED, agrees. “I cannot overstate the expertise, peace of mind, and confidence that Dr. Wiafe brings to the most critical times in the Emergency Department,” she says. “When we prepare for notifications, it is standard practice to check the airway equipment, set up the monitor, and ‘get Jenn.’ ”
Jennifer is committed to educating both her colleagues and her patients. She created “Pearls of the Month,” a one-page roundup of developments and trends in emergency medicine and pharmacology.
In addition, she is highly sensitive to the vulnerability of patients who visit the Emergency Department.
“I want patients to know they are receiving safe and efficacious medications, so their fears are eased when a new medication is prescribed. It makes me happy to make my patients feel cared for, whether they are here for a cold or a much more serious condition.”
