ProfileI am a health services researcher with research interests surrounding treatment variation and treatment effectiveness in musculoskeletal medicine. I also am interested in health care quality and health system performance. I was a Junior Service Fellow at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality in the summer of 2013 and earned my Ph.D. from the University of Florida in 2016. I served as a postdoctoral fellow and research assistant professor at the University of South Carolina and the Center for Effectiveness Research in Orthopaedics (CERortho) from 2016-2020. My current research is focused on generating personalized comparative effectiveness evidence and using “practice-based evidence” to develop rapid learning or clinical decision support tools which can summarize personalized evidence during the clinical encounter. My long-term research goal is to discover ways in which we can deliver the best evidence to physicians to inform treatment decisions and improve clinical practice and patient outcomes. I enjoy leading research projects within the health system and working collaboratively with clinicians and other researchers. | |
