Duke National Clinical Scholars Program (NCSP) scholar Kamal Golla, MD, MPH, was recently featured in a paper published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.
The paper, “Improving health equity for older people with serious illness through value based payment reform,” features work by Golla as well as other fellow Duke and Duke Margolis Center for Health Policy researchers.
Golla joined the third cohort of the Duke NCSP program in 2021. As an NCSP scholar, his research focuses on developing value-based care redesign pathways for urologic oncology patients and investigating targets for financial toxicity mitigation.
“Duke NCSP has been transformative for my career by matching mentors and collaborators with my own research interests,” Golla said. “Duke NCSP is truly special in the mentorship and network of individuals that they can connect you with and I can’t say enough about how lucky how I feel to be a fellow here.”
Duke is one of six sites within the National Clinician Scholars Program, a consortium of prestigious academic health care research institutions which provides training for doctors and post-doctoral nurses as change agents for driving policy-relevant research and partnerships to improve health and health care.
