Dr. Dubreuil is a rheumatologist in Boston, specializing in spondyloarthritis. She works within the Rheumatology section at Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine, where her research focuses on comorbidities and pharmacoepidemiology of spondyloarthritis. Dr. Dubreuil's research has been funded by numerous competitive grants from funders including the NIH, private foundations and industry. Some highlights of Dr. Dubreuil's work includes:
1. Discovery of two key protective effects of TNF inhibitors against fractures and cardiovascular events in spondyloarthritis
2. Finding that a common nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug is associated with 3 times the risk of heart attack among people with spondyloarthritis
3. Development of the first North American guidelines for referral of adults at increased risk of having spondyloarthritis to a rheumatologist

In addition to her research, Dr. Dubreuil is a member of the leading international organizations for spondyloarthritis research. She serves on the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors for the Spondyloarthritis Research and Treatment Network, and on the Medical Advisory Board for the Spondylitis Association of America. She is a site investigator for the international CLASSIC study in spondyloarthritis. Dr. Dubreuil is the Director of Research Training for the Rheumatology Fellowship program at Boston Medical Center.

Dr. Dubreuil cares for people with rheumatic conditions at Boston Medical Center and the VA Boston Healthcare System. Dr. Dubreuil's patients say the following about her:
"Dr. Dubreuil is a very caring and knowledgeable doctor and it's always a pleasure to be seen by her."
"I am very satisfied with the care I have received. My provider and the support staff is very professional, caring and concerned. I would recommend to anyone."
"Dr. Dubreuil is a gem and I feel so lucky to have her!"
A survey of 40 patients who received care by Dr. Dubreuil in 2024-2025 found that 100% would recommend her!

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility

Dr. Dubreuil is a participant in the Rheumatology Section monthly journal club focused on Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI).
Additionally, as a leader for the weekly Research Accelerator meeting, Dr. Dubreuil addresses topic of research equity, and guides discussion around studies addressing disparities in treatment and outcomes.
Dr. Dubreuil was the invited moderator for the 2023 Unmet Research Needs in Spondyloarthritis session on Health Outcomes, Social Constructs and Disparities.
Additionally Dr. Dubreuil is grateful to be the recipient of grant funding from the Arthritis Foundation to study disparities in time to diagnosis of Axial Spondyloarthritis: https://stage.arthritis.org/news/stories-of-yes/2022-dei-award-maureen-dubreuil

I have mentored Master-level SPH students and fellows in projects related to epidemiology of rheumatologic diseases and pharmacoepidemiology. These projects have culminated in publications, a Master degree thesis, as well as poster and oral presentations at national meetings. I hope to continue mentoring trainees who have interests in epidemiology related to specific research projects, development of research themes, or development of grant applications.
