George Molina, MD, MPH, of the Division of Surgical Oncology, was awarded a Harvard Medical School (HMS) Office for Diversity, Inclusion and Community Partnership (DICP) Faculty Fellowship for “Improving Survival among Patients with Colorectal Liver Metastasis by Using a Regional and Hospital System-level Approach to Improve Equitable Access to Liver Surgery.”
This two-year, $100,000 fellowship is designed to enable HMS junior faculty to pursue activities that enhance their career development as researchers, clinicians and teachers to lead advancement within the Harvard system, and to promote diversity within the HMS community. With this support, Molina seeks to determine the systemic factors — particularly across different geographic regions — that prevent patients from accessing liver surgery for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver.
More broadly, Molina’s clinical and research interests include improving the safety, quality and equity of surgical care through health systems innovation. He is also interested in understanding the impact of fragmentation of cancer care on disparities in surgical outcomes in the United States.
