Sue J. Goldie, M.D., M.P.H. is a Professor of Health Decision Science in the Department of Health Policy and Management.
Dr. Goldie’s research focuses on developing and validating computer-based models linking the basic biology of a disease and its epidemiology to population-based outcomes. She uses these models within a decision analytic framework to synthesize data, identify key knowledge gaps, and evaluate the clinical benefits, public health impact, and cost-effectiveness of alternative preventive and treatment interventions. Her focus in the last several years has been on three viruses of major public health importance: human papillomavirus, human immunodeficiency virus, and hepatitis.
Dr Goldie is a committee member of several organizations that focus on global health, including the Board on Global Health of the Institute of Medicine. She has received numerous teaching awards for her courses and mentorship in decision science methods as applied to public health.
She was recently awarded a MacArthur grant "for genius and creativity" in applying the tools of decision science to combat major public health problems.
Dr Goldie earned her MPH from the Harvard School of Public Health, completed her internship and residency in internal medicine at Yale New Haven Hospital, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut (88-91) and was the recipient of a fellowship award from the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality at the Harvard School of Public Health (95-97). She earned her MD from Albany Medical College (88) and a BS from Union College (84).
