Overview Wagahta Semere MD, MHS is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at UCSF in the Division of General Internal Medicine and a primary care provider in the Richard H. Fine People’s Clinic at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital. She is trained in health services research, applying quantitative, qualitative, and community based participatory research methods to examine disparities in health and health outcomes for vulnerable populations. She is experienced in clinical care and research with diverse immigrant and refugee communities. Her current work focuses on examining communication between culturally and linguistically diverse aging patients, their caregivers, and providers. She has an NIH/NLM funded Administrative Supplement (R01 Karter/Schillinger) to analyze >400,000 secure messages exchanged over an online portal between >9,000 ethnically diverse diabetes patients with limited health literacy and their providers. Through the application of natural language processing, she has worked with computational linguists to identify caregivers’ “hidden proxy” communication on behalf of patients and has characterized a socially and medically vulnerable group of patients who rely on proxies. Her work is also supported through the Center for Aging in Diverse Communities Scientist Program and the John A. Watson Faculty Scholars Program.
