She graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 2017, earning a B.S. in Biological Sciences and a Certificate in the Conceptual Foundations of Medicine. At the Brigham, Zoe primarily worked on developing and updating the clinical content for the Leapfrog Group’s CPOE Evaluation Tool. Through her work, she has gained special interest in health IT and patient safety. As patient care becomes further digitized, Zoe believes it is vital to continually evaluate the health-IT systems that clinicians and patients interact with in the pursuit of preventing patient harm and promoting patient safety and quality.
