Dr. Shankar has had a particular interest in the care of older adults since her time in residency. She has been conducting geriatrics research since she was a resident at Brigham and Women’s and Massachusetts General Hospital through a variety of quality of care projects and continued during my time as a Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholar at the University of Pennsylvania with a focus on caregivers. Most recently, she has been focusing on older adult falls and social determinants of health as it pertains to the older adult with a number of grant funded initiatives through the Health Policy Commission and through consulting work for the MA Department of Public Health during her time at Boston Medical Center. She is currently working at Brigham and Women’s as the Director for Geriatric Emergency Care and Fellowship Director for the Health Policy and Translation Fellowship.
