After graduation with a B.A. in English Literature from the University of Michigan, Dr. Garfield received his medical degree at Rush Medical College in Chicago and completed his pediatric internship and residency at Harvard Medical School’s Massachusetts General Hospital. He completed the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program (CSP) at the University of Chicago, a two-year health services research program, and obtained a Masters in the Art of Public Policy from the Harris School of Public Policy as a Harris Child and Family Scholar at the University of Chicago. This advanced work allowed him to better understand how policies within a society can support parents and children. He joined the Department of Pediatrics at Evanston Hospital and Northwestern University in 2001 and was a Robert Wood Johnson Generalist Physician Faculty Scholar from 2005-2008. As a preventionist, his research focuses on improving the health of children and families by understanding the role parents play in the health and wellbeing of children, in particular the role of fathers. Lately, he had also been focusing on the influence children play on the health and wellbeing of parents. He recently was awarded a five-year K23 grant from NICHD for his project “Young Men’s Health and the Transition to Fatherhood.” He is working in collaboration with Motorola Mobility to design “NICU-2-Home,” an innovative technology program to support parents of Very Low Birth Weight premature infants as they transition to home from the NICU. Dr. Garfield is a faculty member in the Institute for Policy Research and the Center on Social Disparities and Health: Cells-to-Society (C2S). While he has provided primary pediatric care to low income families in the Child and Adolescent Care Center in Evanston since 2000, his current clinical work is in the Division of Hospital-Based Medicine in Prentice Women’s Hospital’s NICU.
