Biographical Sketch:
Since September 2011, Dr. Meyerson has been a member of the Public Health Administration faculty at the Indiana University School of Public Health-Bloomington and Co-Director of the Rural Center for AIDS/STD Prevention - a collaborative of Indiana University, University of Kentucky and University of Wyoming. Dr. Meyerson joined the faculty after 13 years as President of Policy Resource Group, LLC, a policy research consultancy focused on HIV and STDs with an international portfolio. Prior to this, Dr. Meyerson served as the state AIDS/STD Director for Missouri. Dr. Meyerson’s research focuses on health system elasticity: the extent to which health systems can expand to increase access for populations facing HIV and STD health inequalities. Two systems of interest have been STD clinic practice expansion to offer cervical cancer screening and pharmacy practice expansion to include HIV testing, consultation and linkage to care. Dr. Meyerson specializes in community based participatory research (CBPR) and has worked throughout the U.S., in Kenya, Nigeria, Botswana, India and throughout the Caribbean.
Dr. Meyerson has published widely in STDs and health systems. Recent publications of relevance to the topic (STDs/CC/health systems flexibility) include:
