Using mixed-methods research, Louis implemented and evaluated the use of electronic clinical decision support algorithms for improving the quality of primary care. Following his PhD, Louis completed his Internal Medicine residency in the Yale Primary Care program. He is now thrilled to be part of the Yale Occupational and Environmental Medicine Program.
