Bradley E. Flansbaum, DO, MPH

My hospital medicine career path began in 1996, when the field first evolved as a distinct practice area focused on inpatient care. Over the years, hospital medicine has played a vital role in improving the quality of care for inpatients and has developed into its own specialty. As a founding member and master of hospital medicine (MHM) of the Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM), I have served as a board member and officer, helping shape our field's growth and direction.

Throughout my years of service, I have established and led multiple hospital medicine groups and developed and managed post-acute care networks within the population health domain. As a national speaker and advocate for hospital medicine, I frequently present at statewide meetings and conferences. My work with SHM's Public Policy Committee reflects my commitment to issues such as payment policy, healthcare market competition, health disparities, and cost-effectiveness analysis. I also represent SHM as a delegate to the American Medical Association House of Delegates.

My clinical interests—including pain management, palliative care, venous thromboembolism, care transitions, and hospital nutrition—align with my deep experience in hospital medicine and highlight the unique contributions of our specialty to patient care. I am proud to be part of NYU Langone's nationally recognized team.
