Heather Hsu, MD, MPH is a pediatric hospitalist at Boston Medical Center and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine. She has an undergraduate degree in Gender Studies from Brown University, an MD from Harvard Medical School, and an MPH from the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health. Dr. Hsu's research interests center around the impact of value-based care environments on health equity and the financial well-being of the healthcare safety-net, particularly in the areas of infectious diseases and substance use. She also serves as the Scientific Director of Boston Medical Center's Clinical Data Warehouse for Research (https://www.bmc.org/research/clinical-data-warehouse-cdw).

Within the Department of Pediatrics and Boston Combined Residency Program, Dr. Hsu is a founder and lead faculty mentor for Health Equity Rounds, a solutions-oriented, resident-led, case-based conference series focused on illuminating and eliminating the impact of racism, bias, and other intersectional forms of systemic oppression on health and healthcare (https://www.bmc.org/health-equity-rounds).

I am the lead faculty mentor for Boston Medical Center's Health Equity Rounds program, a case-based, solutions-oriented grand rounds conference series that aims to understand and mitigate the impacts of structural racism and other forms of intersectional systemic oppression on health and healthcare. I mentor approximately 25 pediatric residents in the Boston Combined Residency Program in Pediatrics in the development of this conference series annually. I have also mentored faculty and trainees at approximately 60 other institutions in Health Equity Rounds program implementation.

My research expertise is health services research and epidemiology, with a focus on the impact of value-based care on health and healthcare equity. I have successfully mentored medical students, residents, and fellows in the development and publication of research projects and the development, implementation, and publication of medical education curricula.

In mentoring, I view my role as facilitating individuals’ personal and professional growth/advancement in a manner aligned with their values and goals.
