Fellowship & Education

The first of its kind in Boston, the Richard A. and Susan F. Smith Institute for Evidence, Innovation, and Policy places BIDMC at the forefront of research in health care policy, regulatory decision-making, and clinical practice. Training and mentorship are central to the Smith Institute's mission, alongside its broader goal of bringing together evidence, clinical insight, technological innovation, and policy expertise to tackle consequential challenges in health care and improve outcomes for patients and populations.
