Overview
overview
Dr. Daniel Kramer studied Philosophy at Brown University prior to earning his MD from Harvard Medical School and MPH from the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health. He completed internal medicine training at Massachusetts General Hospital and fellowships in cardiovascular disease at clinical cardiac electrophysiology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, as well as the Medical Device Fellowship Program with the FDA. He is a member of the cardiac electrophysiology service at BIDMC, where he is part of the Richard and Susan Smith Center for Outcomes Research in Cardiology.

Dr. Kramer’s research focuses on ethics, policy, and clinical outcomes related to the use of cardiac devices, with funding support from the Harvard Catalyst, Paul Beeson Scholars Program, and Greenwall Faculty Scholars Program in Bioethics.
