Meet a PennMedicine Researcher
Alexander G. Fiks, MD, MSCE
Professor of Pediatrics, is the recipient of the 2023 Samuel Martin Health Evaluation Sciences Research Award. Established in 1996 to honor the late Dr. Samuel P. Martin, III, Executive Director of the Leonard Davis institute of Health Economics and Chair of the Health Care Systems Unit of the Wharton School, the Martin Award is granted to a member of the School of Medicine faculty for a body of work with an emphasis on health services research. Dr. Fiks has devoted his research career to better understanding and improving the performance of primary care pediatric services and improving outcomes for children. His work has not only advanced pediatric knowledge and practice by promoting judicious antibiotic prescribing and improving immunization rates, for example; his leadership in coordinating large-scale group and network projects has also had a significant impact in the field.
