Professional Interests:

Dr. Goodman’s primary research interest is the relationship of outcomes to health workforce supply and its implications for health workforce policy. In his role as Co-PI of the Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care, he also leads and mentors a wider range of projects investigating the causes and consequences of variation in health care capacity and utilization. Dr. Goodman is the founder, with Prof. Gwyn Bevan (London School of Economics), of the Wennberg International Collaborative, a research network that advances the study of unwarranted medical practice variation.
