Biography
Reed Mszar, MPH, MS, is a PhD student in the Department of Chronic Disease Epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health. His research encompasses cardiovascular and clinical epidemiology, health outcomes and disparities research, and cardio-oncology. Before returning to Yale, he worked in the Division of Clinical Effectiveness and Decision Science at the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) where he supported the development of research funding announcements and managed a diverse portfolio of funded studies.
Reed also conducted research at Yale's Center for Outcomes Research and Evaluation (CORE) leading projects focused on patient-reported outcomes and shared decision-making, subclinical atherosclerosis imaging, atrial fibrillation ablation disparities, and financial hardship from medical bills.
