in top journals such as JAMA, JAMA Surgery, Anesthesiology, and Annals of Surgery.
He is the Co-Director of the Opioid Prescribing Engagement Network (OPEN) at the University
of Michigan, which aims to apply a preventative approach to the opioid epidemic in
the US through appropriate prescribing after surgery, dentistry, and emergency medicine.
In addition, his research interests include predictors of acute and chronic post-surgical
pain and failure to derive benefit from interventions and surgeries primarily performed
to treat pain. In particular, Dr. Brummett is interested in the impact of a fibromyalgia-like
or centralized pain phenotype on analgesic outcomes. He is the Co-PI of multiple NIH
grants studying these concepts, and also receives funding from the Michigan Department
of Health and Human Services, SAMHSA, CDC, and multiple foundations.
