Dr. Erik Abel is a Specialty Practice Pharmacist in Cardiothoracic Surgery at the Richard M. Ross Heart Hospital on The Ohio State University Medical Center campus.

Prior to his current appointment, he completed a PGY-1 Pharmacy Practice Residency at The Ohio State University Medical Center which was succeeded by a PGY-2 Specialty Practice Residency at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. While his background is in cardiology, his primary interests reside in the critical care environment available in the cardiothoracic surgery arena. Beyond his research in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, other interests include sedation and delerium, perioperative management of right venticular failure/pulmonary hypertension, and blood conservation.
