Patient Safety Researcher and Healthcare Quality Advocate; Marshall and Truman Scholar
Kurt R. Herzer studies health services research/policy as a Woodrow Wilson Fellow with the Quality and Safety Research Group at Johns Hopkins University. His work ranges from using medical simulation and system engineering to improve surgical care, to national assessments of healthcare quality standards. Kurt’s research has carried him from congressional hearings on Capitol Hill to the World Health Organization, where he began developing a methodology to estimate the global burden of healthcare-associated infections. Kurt has authored/co-authored several journal papers and a book chapter, and has spoken at international conferences. In 2008, he became a Truman Scholar and USA Today named him to the All-USA Academic First Team. As a Marshall Scholar, Kurt plans to study evidence-based policy and health intervention at the University of Oxford and will later attend medical school in the United States.
