About Marisa Abbe

I am an applied medical anthropologist who works in academic and clinical arenas. I specialize in clinical ethnographic research and application, and have broad expertise in interdisciplinary projects as well. As a leader, I excel in strategic thinking and connecting the dots, building programs that align and contribute to macro-level organizational goals. I am committed to creating positive team dynamics, enhancing communication so that all staff are engaged and activated. People and communities are at the heart of all my actions, as I strive to use anthropology and public health to alleviate disparity and suffering.Specialties: Medical anthropology, injury prevention, medical communication, health inequalities, immigrant and refugee health, mental health, technology, ethnographic methods, grant writing, strategic leadership, population health
