  Ida Sim, M.D., Ph.D.

Ida Sim is an Assistant Professor of Medicine (Division of General Internal Medicine) and Associate Director for Medical Informatics in the Program in Biological and Medical Informatics at UCSF. Dr. Sim conducts research at the intersection of health services research and medical informatics, and is active in primary care and medical informatics education at UCSF. In her informatics work, Dr.Sim is the Principal Investigator of a National Library of Medicine grant to publish randomized trials in two concurrent forms: as entries in an electronic knowledge base (a trial bank), and as prose in traditional journals. Collaborators on this project include the Annals of Internal Medicine and JAMA. Dr. Sim is also active in efforts to standardize the informatics infrastructure for clinical trial activities, from trial design to trial enrollment, execution, reporting, interpretation and application. In her health services research work, Dr. Sim has published two systematic reviews of randomized trials in cardiology, using hierarchical Bayes models for quantifying the effect of heterogeneity among trials. She also collaborates with Dr. Robert Miller on studying the economic and policy barriers to increased use of electronic medical records in large and small physician group practices. Dr.Sim is a recipient of the United States Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers for her research program.
