Eric Bressman, MD, MSHP joined the joint DGIM/DHM research group in July 2023. He received his undergraduate degree from Columbia University, followed by medical school, residency and chief residency at Mount Sinai. He completed the National Clinician Scholars Program here at Penn. Eric's research interests center around the integration of technology - including connected health, automation and AI - into clinical care delivery, with a particular focus on supporting safe transitions of care after discharge for older adults. He has conducted two large clinical trials of innovative remote patient management programs leveraging automated texting, and is now working on integrating remote monitoring data to better match resources with patient needs in real-time. His work has also explored the impact of telemedicine on access to and utilization of care after discharge, as well as broader policy-relevant questions related to interstate delivery of virtual care services. Eric's clinical interest is in inpatient care, and he enjoys working with and teaching the residents and students; he will be splitting his time between Penn and the VA. Outside of work, Eric enjoys hiking, writing, and is always looking to improve his guitar and tennis. But he spends most of his time as a climbing surface for his two young boys.
