Palliative and Advanced Illness Research (PAIR) Center Summer Fellowship

The Palliative and Advanced Illness Research (PAIR) Center was formed in January 2017 by Dr. Scott D. Halpern. PAIR Center investigators build on expertise in decision psychology, health informatics, comparative effectiveness research methods, biostatistics, research ethics, and implementation science to develop and test scalable interventions that improve outcomes that are important to seriously ill patients, caretakers, clinicians, health systems, and payers. We collaborate with large healthcare systems and organizations across the country to test interventions in large, randomized trials to form a robust evidence base about how best to care for seriously ill patients. Penn medical students, who are interested in conducting research in this area, are encouraged to contact PAIR Center Assistant Director, Erich Dress, to learn more about potential mentors and projects.
