Current Project

In response to new accreditation regulations for hospitals, my project examines hospital decision-makers’ investment in leadership and collaboration. Will hospitals invest only in physicians? Or will they invest broadly - across the many barriers of status and privilege (specialties, “rank”, gender and race groups)?

Biography
