My research focuses on the health care workforce, with an emphasis on low- and middle-skill health care workers. I study the use of credentialing and career ladders in health care settings to improve worker skills and quality of care, and the rewards to workers for participation. I also study the use of low- and middle-skill workers in care teams across different health care settings.
