David Goodman, MD, MS
David Goodman is a physician, health services researcher, and educator with a longstanding interest in the causes and consequences of health care variation. In his early years, his studies focused on the relationship of physician supply to population outcomes, and applied the findings to public policy development. More recently, his research portfolio investigates unwarranted variation in the use of neonatal intensive care.
Dr. Goodman is one of the founding investigators of the Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care as well as a founder of the Wennberg International Collaborative. He has served on multiple journal editorial boards, and federal and Institute of Medicine committees.
