Isabel Roth, DrPH, MS
Assistant Professor
Chapel Hill, NC
My research focuses on the identification of effective implementation strategies to promote access to evidence-based complementary and integrative health practices among populations with chronic conditions.
My academic training and research experience have provided me with inter-disciplinary training in implementation science, public health, and behavioral sciences, with a broad understanding of integrative health professions and practices. I have experience with pragmatic clinical trials, program evaluation, implementation science design and execution, recruitment of vulnerable and hard-to-reach populations, and engaging a wide range of clinical and community partners. I am a graduate of the UNC Program on Integrative Medicine’s T32 Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Complementary and Integrative Health, and a recipient of a National Institute of Complementary and Integrative Health-funded K01 Career Development Award.
I maintain an active research lab, the MAGIC (More Access to Group Integrative Care) Implementation Lab, with interprofessional trainees working at the intersection of implementation science and integrative health. For more information, please visit www.magicimplementation.com.
