Overview

David received his BS (1988) in pharmacy, and his MS (1992) and PhD (1995) in pharmacy administration, all from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His minor fields of study for his PhD degree were economics and public policy analysis. Dr. Mott practiced pharmacy in community settings. Before joining the University of Wisconsin School of Pharmacy faculty in 1998, Dr. Mott was on the faculty at the Ohio State University College of Pharmacy. He was named Teacher of the Year in 1999 and 2001 by first year doctor of pharmacy students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He has published widely in pharmacy journals and outside of pharmacy. He currently teaches courses in the health care system, pharmacy marketing and policy, pharmacy economics, and pharmacy service, program and policy evaluation.

Dr. Mott has two primary areas of research: the pharmacy labor market and economic factors associated with drug utilization. His research of the pharmacist labor market has investigated trends in the supply and demand of pharmacists, factors associated with the number of hours worked by pharmacists, and trends in turnover rates, and reasons pharmacists leave jobs. In 2000 he worked on the National Pharmacist Workforce Survey. His research of economic factors associated with drug utilization has examined the role of types of prescription drug insurance on the cost of drugs used. A recent study examined how patient and insurance variables influenced the opportunity for generic drug use by prescribing physicians and generic substitution by pharmacists. Current studies examine prescription drug insurance choice by elderly consumers, the role of patient and insurance variables on drug use by the elderly, the use of new drug products, and the use of non-prescription drug products.
