Summary

  • I am currently Professor & Eminent Scholar, Chief, Division of General Internal Medicine and Director, Center for Advancing Population Science at the Medical College of Wisconsin. For almost 10 years I was the Allen H. Johnson Endowed Chair and a tenured Professor of Medicine in the Division of General Internal Medicine and Geriatrics at the Medical University of South Carolina. I was also the Director of the MUSC Center for Health Disparities Research and the Director of the Charleston VA HSR&D Health Equity and Rural Outreach Innovation Center (HEROIC), one of 19 nationally funded VA HSR&D Centers of Innovation (COIN). I am a general internist and health services researcher. I have expertise in healthcare disparities, population health, health services research, telemedicine/telehealth interventions, improving diabetes outcomes in ethnic minorities, and impact of mental health on chronic disease outcomes. I have been PI or Co-I on multiple Federally funded grants including NIH R01s, VA Merits, AHRQ, and the CDC as well as from foundations such as the American Diabetes Association. I also have an NIH/NIDDK K24, which provides protected time for mentoring. I am also conducting research on improving outcomes for non-communicable disease (diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease) in Central America and sub-Saharan African using innovative strategies. I have authored over 280 original publications in peer-reviewed journals. I was a standing member of the NIH scientific review study section – the Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health Study Section and a member of the National Advisory Council of the Robert Wood Johnson Physician Faculty Scholars Program for several years. I was a Deputy Editor for the Journal of General Internal Medicine for over 10 years.
