Why? Do They Exist? Brown Bag Seminar Series Lawrence P. Casalino Livingston Farrand Associate Professor of Public Health and Chief, Division of Outcomes and Effectiveness Research, Department of Public Health Weill Cornell Medical College Thursday, November 12, 2009, 12:00 pm-1:30 pm Institute Conference Room, 30 College Ave. Lawrence Casalino, M.D., Ph.D., is Livingston Farrand Associate Professor of Public Health and Chief, Division of Outcomes and Effectiveness Research at Weill Cornell Medical College. He came to Cornell after nine years at the University of Chicago, where he was a tenured associate professor. Previously, he worked for 20 years as a family physician in private practice in Half Moon Bay, California. During that time he obtained a Ph.D. in Health Services Research at the University of California, Berkeley, with an emphasis on organization theory, institutional sociology, and institutional economics. Dr. Casalino’s research focuses on the organization of physician and hospital practice, with “organization” taken to mean both the structures of practice and the processes used to provide health care. He studies the effects of different forms of organization of practice on the quality and costs of health care, as well as the influence of public and private policies on the ways in which practice is organized. He is particularly interested in unintended consequences of policies and in the effects of policies and of the organization of practice on physician professionalism and on racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in health care delivery. Dr. Casalino is the recipient of an Investigator Award in Health Policy Research from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. He has served on numerous national advisory committees and has worked extensively with the Federal Trade Commission and with physician groups and hospitals on anti-trust issues related to clinical integration of physicians and of physician-hospital organizations.
