Lee Goldman
is Chairman, Department of Medicine, Associate Dean for Clinical Affairs, School of Medicine, and Julius R. Krevans Distinguished Professor of Medicine at UCSF. Dr. Goldman is an experienced investigator in clinical epidemiology, health services research, and cost-effectiveness analysis, with a special emphasis on cardiovascular diseases. One of his major current interests focuses on the Coronary Heart Disease Policy Model, a comprehensive computer-simulation model of the cardiovascular risk factors and events of the U.S. population. This model permits detailed epidemiologic analyses of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a wide range of interventions for primary and secondary prevention, including risk factor reductions and improvements in medical care. Upcoming initiatives include detailed analyses of the impact of smoking and second-hand smoke, as well as a large project to develop country-specific models for several nations other than the U.S. Another on-going research emphasis is a randomized trial of single versus dual chamber pacing for the sick sinus syndrome, with a special interest in the impact of pacing modalities on quality-of-life and cost-effectiveness. Dr. Goldman has extensive experience supervising trainees, more than 45 of whom have first-authored original research with him as the senior author. A number of his former trainees have been elected to prestigious medical societies (such as the American Society for Clinical Investigation) or now serve as division chiefs. While in Boston, he was the co-founder of the well-known Program in Clinical Effectiveness at Harvard Medical School and the Harvard School of Public Health.
