Peter Rohloff, MD, PhD
Dr. Rohloff's work is focused on using dissemination/implementation and quality improvement methodologies to investigate and improve barriers to health care delivery. In addition to time spent at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Dr. Rohloff is the co-founder and Chief Medical Officer for Maya Health Alliance, a primary care organization working with indigenous Maya communities in rural Guatemala. Peter is fluent in Spanish and several indigenous Mayan languages and spends 50% of their time in the field conducting research and mentoring Guatemalan junior clinicians and researchers.
Their primary research interests include nonpharmacological behavior change interventions for cardiovascular disease and diabetes; epidemiology of diabetes and chronic kidney disease; determinants of food insecurity and chronic child malnutrition; and family-based interventions to support early child development.
