Dr. Priya Shete

Dr. Shete received her MD from Yale University School of Medicine, MPH from the University of California, Berkeley, and her Certificate in Implementation Science from UCSF. Dr. Shete combines methods in implementation science, social epidemiology, and health economics to improve access and provision of quality tuberculosis care for vulnerable populations globally and locally. She uses implementation science methods to design and evaluate context appropriate interventions that reduce the social and financial consequences of having TB and accessing TB care as an approach to improving socioeconomic and public health outcomes from this disease. Dr. Shete often uses her skills in Implementation Science by working within public health institutions. She previously worked for the Global TB Programme of the World Health Organization to support high-burden countries in developing research agendas that prioritize implementation research into their existing TB control programs. She served as a public health advisor for USAID in the Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance with a focus on health system strengthening. Most recently, she has been leading the Modeling and Analytics team for the COVID-19 Response at the California Department of Public Health.
