Name Alan Salkind M.D.

Title Professor/ Assistant Dean

Research Description
Two areas of research: (1) Economic models of infectious diseases. In this area we have developed economic models to investigate the cost effectiveness of various strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases; and (2) Cognitive models of medical decision making. We are collaborating with colleagues from the social sciences to devise models that can unveil student and physician cognitive biases, potentially affecting the quality of medical decision making. Detection of cognitive biases would allow for target interventions.
