In addition to my appointments at the Division of General Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Department of Health Care Policy at Harvard Medical School, I am a member of the Harvard Medical School (HMS) Center for Primary Care, where I serve as the Core Faculty Lead for Transformation Strategy and Design in the Academic Innovations Collaborative. This collaborative of 18 HMS-affiliated clinics is transforming Harvard-affiliated primary care teaching practices and developing new models of academic and community team-based primary care.

I also serve as a Senior Advisor to the Comprehensive Primary Care initiative at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation. This national multi-payer initiative launched in 2012 combines payment reform and practice redesign to transform 500 primary care practices in 7 states over 4 years with the overarching goal of improving quality of care, patient experience, and reducing costs.

My research currently focuses on primary care delivery reform and innovation, especially surrounding the implementation and evaluation of the patient centered medical home model of care. I also study the spread of non-communicable diseases globally, and have been involved in global tobacco control research since 2000.

I practice primary care medicine and am the Assistant Medical Director at the Brigham and Women’s Advanced Primary Care Associates, South Huntington, a new patient centered medical home practice in Jamaica Plain, MA.
