Dr. Geraci continues to practice in both outpatient and inpatient arenas. In outpatient, he attends one half day per week in the Pulmonary fellows clinic, where he sees new/return patients and teaches the pulmonary and critical care fellows. On the inpatient side, he attends in the medical intensive care unit, on the teaching service. His assignments have traditionally been four to six weeks per year.
Over his career, Dr. Geraci has held a number of positions directly involved in clinical patient care and the development of clinical services. At the University of Colorado, he was the director of outpatient medical services for the pulmonary division from 1994-2000. He transitioned to the director of inpatient medical services for the University of Colorado Hospital 2001-2006. He was Head of the Division of Pulmonary Sciences and Critical Care Medicine at Colorado from 2004-2015.
From 2015-2020, he was the John B. Hickam Professor and Chair of the Department off Medicine at the Indiana University School of Medicine. Importantly, during this time, he led the response to the COVID pandemic, given his experience in hospital operations and expertise in critical care medicine. This approach entailed the re-deployment of specialist for inpatient coverage, the expansion of the hospitalist service, ICU staffing models for COVID surge, and the implementation of selected protocols within the ICU for care of COVID patients, including the use of inhaled Flolan in severe ARDS.
