Dr. Gutman is an Assistant Professor of Pediatric Emergency Medicine at the University of Florida. Dr. Gutman’s focus is health services research that rigorously explores and assesses healthcare disparities, with an aim of translating such research into meaningful change through development and evaluation of readily implementable interventions. She is particularly interested in provider-patient communication and has studied communication with limited English proficient families in the pediatric emergency department. Dr. Gutman also has experience in implementation science, having conducted research developing a routine adolescent HIV screening program in the pediatric emergency department. Her prior work demonstrates that in the time-pressured setting of a high-acuity pediatric ED, marginalized populations may not receive evidence-based care and are at risk for suboptimal patient-physician communication. She is currently the recipient of a University of Florida Clinical and Translational Science Institute KL2 Scholars Award supporting her in conducting a mixed-methods study of disparities, bias, and shared decision making in the emergency management of febrile infants.
