Michael Fischer, MD, MS is Chief of the Section of General Internal Medicine at Boston Medical Center/Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine. He is a primary care physician and health services researcher with expertise in developing and evaluating interventions to increase the use of evidence-based medical practices.

Dr. Fischer began his career at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, conducting research evaluating medication adherence; the appropriate use of prescription drugs; dissemination and implementation of evidence-based practices; prescription drug reimbursement policy; and the impact of electronic prescribing. He is the Director of the National Resource Center for Academic Detailing (www.NaRCAD.org), an initiative supported by the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to assist organizations implementing interventions to improve health care quality and patient outcomes.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility

Support for DEIA represents a core value for the Section of General Internal Medicine and in my own work. We are proud of the diversity embodied in our Section and in our commitment to equity, inclusion, and accessibility, but we all recognize that we must continue to work to enhance DEIA across the profession and the institution.

Within the Section, work on DEIA includes increasing transparency and ensuring equity of opportunity. We have initiated a new process for all available leadership positions, in collaboration with the Office of Equity, Vitality, and Inclusion. This will ensure that all leadership opportunities are posted and communicated and that applications, interviews, and decision-making about the positions occur with consistency. To support these efforts, we are gathering more complete data on the demographics of our faculty and staff, so that we can hold ourselves accountable for achieving these goals.

I currently serve as the co-sponsor for the BMC Equity Accelerator’s new initiative to promote equity in diabetes care and outcomes. Faculty and staff from our Section and across BMC are working with community partners to develop, implement, and evaluate interventions address the disparities in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diabetes.

Throughout my career I have mentored across differences with trainees and faculty, focusing on the ways in which I can provide support and serve as a champion for mentees and other colleagues.
