Todd Lewis is a fourth-year doctoral candidate in Population Health Sciences with a concentration in Global Health and Population. Todd’s research generates evidence to improve health system quality, especially in resource constrained settings. He employs both quantitative and qualitative methodologies from economics, epidemiology, and implementation science to study how health systems can best serve their users. His dissertation work focuses on user- and facility-level determinants of high quality primary care across multiple low- and middle-income countries. Recently, Todd was a researcher with the Lancet Global Health Commission on High Quality Health Systems in the SDG Era, where he conducted a multi-country analysis of clinical performance among recently graduated health care providers.
