Lauren Taylor, PhD

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Population Health, where I am jointly appointed in the Division of Healthcare Delivery Sciences and the Division of Medical Ethics. This joint appointment reflects my interest both in empirical work describing the world as it is and normative scholarship about how the world ought to be. I primarily study US health care through an organizational lens, applying theoretical frameworks from business ethics and political philosophy to managerial and policy dilemmas. 

Some of my recent publications have explored hospital's scope of legitimate responsibilities, the role of trust in health care delivery and the community-based organizations' responses to Medicaid's emphasis on social determinants.
