Experiences & Accomplishments
Lisa Reider is trained in gerontology and epidemiology who is recognized as an expert in the design and conduct of clinical trials. Her research, policy, and practice activities are directed at improving outcomes in older trauma patients through evidence-based medicine and outcomes research. Dr. Reider has nearly 15 years of experience leading high-impact multi-center clinical trials in the areas of orthopedic trauma and primary care. She is a key member of the leadership team of the Major Extremity Trauma Research Consortium (METRC), the largest national research consortium in the field of orthopedic trauma.
Within METRC, she serves as the Associate Director of the Coordinating Center and Coordinating Center PI of numerous multi-site studies. In this role, she leads interdisciplinary teams of surgeons, therapists, health services researchers, and biostatisticians to design and implement large, complex trials with profound importance for clinical practice. Her work has included examining different ways to approach rehab for older adults with fractures and exploring the relationship between fractures and onset of dementia in older adults.
Dr. Lisa Reider also has expertise in health services research in orthopaedic trauma and gerontology. Her work has focused primarily on 1) measuring outcomes following orthopaedic trauma; 2) evaluating the effects of aging, pharmacologic treatments, diet and exercise on skeletal fragility; and 3) evaluating new models of care for multi-morbid older adults.
