Overview
Jose F. Figueroa, MD, MPH is an Associate Professor of Health Policy and Management at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (HSPH) and an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School (HMS). He is also a practicing Internist and Associate Physician at the Brigham and Women's Hospital, where he serves as the Faculty Director of the BWH Medicine Residency Management & Leadership Pathway.

Dr. Figueroa received his M.D. from Harvard Medical School and his M.P.H. from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. He completed his residency in Internal Medicine at the Brigham and Women's Hospital.

His main research interests focus on understanding the drivers of health care spending and poor clinical outcomes among older, vulnerable populations with complex needs. To date, this has included work on racial and ethnic minorities, older adults with frailty, people with disabilities, and people with serious mental illness. His research also focuses on evaluating how policy interventions and payment reform aimed at improving quality of care and controlling costs are working, and in particular, how they affect safety-net providers and hospitals.

To support his work, Dr. Figueroa has previously received the HMS DICP Fellowship, the Harvard Catalyst NIH KL2 Award, the Harvard Global Health Institute Burke Global Health Fellowship, and the BWH Faculty Development Award. He also has grants from the National Institutes of Health, Arnold Ventures Foundation, the Commonwealth Fund, the Peterson Center on Healthcare, the Harvard Center for AIDS Research, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
