Bethany Hedt-Gauthier, PhD
Dr. Hedt-Gauthier received a BS with distinction in mathematics from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill in 1999. Immediately following her undergraduate training, she served three years in the U.S. Peace Corps in Namibia, where she was introduced to the needs and challenges of global public health and the role of research in addressing these gaps. In 2003, she began a PhD program in biostatistics at Harvard School of Public Health. During this training, Dr. Hedt-Gauthier took a leave of absence to complete a fellowship in strategic information at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Malawi. She received her PhD in 2008 and completed a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in the same department in 2010.
Hedt-Gauthier leads NIH-funded research exploring the feasibility and impact of mobile health (mHealth) tools for community health worker-led postoperative follow-up after cesarean delivery in rural Rwanda. She also leads statistical methods development and application, with expertise in complex survey sampling, surveillance, and methods for program monitoring and evaluation.
