Tarisai S. Nyahoda, MD, MMEd (Internal Medicine)

Saint Louis University (SLU)

As a geriatric physician, my clinical and research interests focus on polypharmacy, medication optimization, and deprescribing in older adults. I am particularly interested in identifying potentially inappropriate medications, reducing adverse drug events, and improving quality of life through individualized, evidence-based prescribing practices. My work emphasizes balancing disease management with functional outcomes, cognition, and patient-centered goals of care. I am passionate about advancing research that promotes safer medication use in aging populations, especially among medically complex and vulnerable older adults.
