Speakers
Dr. Ben Inventor began his nursing career in the Philippines. He continued his clinical experience in the U.S., working in various settings, including home health, long-term care, and acute care. After obtaining a Master of Science in Nursing degree as Adult/Geriatric nurse practitioner, he consulted with older adults in nursing homes. He received his PhD in Nursing Science from Rush University, where he examined the impact of activities, social environment, and psychotropic medications on neuropsychiatric symptoms of nursing home residents with dementia. His research interests focus on effective management of neuropsychiatric symptoms, reduction of psychotropic medication use, and caregiver skill building to provide person-centered dementia care. He is also interested in using pharmacogenomics to optimize therapeutic response and increase the safety of medications among older adults.
