Rebecca S. Etz, Ph.D., is a Professor of Family Medicine and Population Health at Virginia Commonwealth University, and Co-Director of the Larry A. Green Center - Advancing Primary Health Care for the Public Good. Dr. Etz has deep expertise in qualitative research methods and design, primary care measures, practice transformation, and engaging stakeholders. Her career has been dedicated to learning the heart and soul of primary care through two main lines of inquiry: 1) bridging the chasm between the business of medicine and the lived experience of the human condition with research that demonstrates the integration of medicine with in the fullness and dignity of humanity, and 2) exposing the ways in which current trends in health care transformation and stakeholder engagement fall short of their desired goal to bring the worlds of medicine, public health, and communities together in collaboration for improved population health. As a member of the VCU Department of Family Medicine and Population Health, and previous co-director of the ACORN PBRN, Dr. Etz has been the Principal Investigator of several federal and foundation grants, contracts and pilots, all directed towards making the pursuit of health a humane experience. Recent research activities have included studies in primary care measures, behavioral health, simulation modeling, care team models, and adaptive use of health technologies. Dr. Etz currently leads the fielding of a regular survey regarding the response to and impact of COVID-19 on US primary care practices and most recently served on the National Academies of Medicine consensus study, “Implementing High Quality Primary Care.”
