Andrew Auerbach, M.D., MPH, is Assistant Professor of Medicine in Residence at UCSF, and a clinician-researcher in the Hospitalist Group. He did his medical residency training at Yale New Haven Hospital, and a fellowship in General Internal Medicine at Harvard where he was trained in clinical epidemiology, multivariable modeling, cost-effectiveness analysis, and clinimetrics. He joined the faculty at UCSF as the nation's first clinician-researcher primarily focused on the hospitalist model in 1998. In addition to his roles as ward attending, and attending on the medical consultation service, he is Director of the Medical-Surgical Co-Management Service at Moffitt-Long Hospital. His research at UCSF has primarily focused on assessments of patient outcomes in different systems of care, with a special interest in the hospitalist model; Dr. Auerbach is the UCSF PI for a multicenter study of Hospitalist systems. Most recently, he has been developing research programs in perioperative medicine, with a special focus on methods to predict and prevent perioperative medical complications, and novel approaches for translating empiric research into clinical practice. Finally, he co-chairs a UCSF Task force on prevention of perioperative MI and improving use of perioperative beta-blockers.
