Faculty Profile
Susan Dorr Goold, MD, MHSA, MA
- Professor, Internal Medicine
- Professor, Health Management and Policy
Dr. Goold's early philosophical work, emphasizing the need for communities to participate in informed deliberations about resource spending decisions that affect them, led her to develop an exercise, CHAT (CHoosing All Together) that has been used to engage minority and underserved communities in setting priorities for the use of limited resources for health research, health insurance and community health. She has developed, with a community partner, a network of community partners from minority and underserved communities in Michigan, and engaged these communities in research to inform health policy, including evaluating the expansion of Medicaid in Michigan. Other areas of Dr. Goold's work include resource allocation during public health emergencies, public health ethics, physician stewardship, and trust in healthcare organizations.
