02 / CLINICAL & SCREEN EXPERIENCE
Clinical range.
Production experience.
A physician with broad clinical experience and a working understanding of how a production comes together.
Dr. Brandy is an actively practicing physician on staff at a nationally ranked academic hospital and a professor at a leading school of medicine, with more than 20 years of clinical experience. Her clinical experience and consulting work span cardiology, general medicine, pediatrics, fetal diagnosis, the operating room, inpatient care, emergency medicine, intensive care (ICU) and outpatient clinics. She also draws on experience in critical care and ambulance transport, international medical missions and humanitarian work, echocardiography, ultrasound, X-rays and other medical imaging.
Having trained as a medical student, resident and fellow, practiced as an attending physician, and served as a Director of Cardiology, she understands hospital life from both clinical and administrative perspectives. She also teaches medical students, residents and fellows, bringing insight into the relationships, pressures and teamwork that shape a medical story.
Her extensive physician network is a resource for projects that call for additional specialty perspectives.
MY APPROACH
The story comes first. I make complex medicine clear and useful, with straightforward explanations and practical notes the whole team can use. My clinical background helps me identify what is medically possible, what stretches credibility and which clinical details or alternatives can make a scene more believable and compelling for viewers. I help with medical images and visual references, pitch story ideas, and offer dialogue and practical advice that build on the writers’ ideas, strengthen their storylines and preserve their characters, pacing and creative vision.
Dr. Brandy has read hundreds of scripts, worked in the writers’ room and on set, and contributed medical pitches, script notes and dialogue. Her production experience includes four seasons of medical consulting on The Good Doctor. During her medical training, Dr. Brandy was featured as a resident in the ER on TLC’s documentary series Trauma: Life in the E.R.—an early experience that sparked her interest in medical consulting for film and television.
Care beyond the clinic.
Her experience also includes medical missions and humanitarian service, with roles as a board member and Physician Co-Chair of the USA Medical Advisory Board of Save a Child’s Heart. Her community volunteering includes Camp del Corazon and Richstone Family Center.
