Laurie W. Shroyer serves as Professor of Surgery, Vice Chair for Research in the Department of Surgery, and Assistant Dean for Educational Research at Stony Brook University Renaissance School of Medicine. She concurrently holds appointments as Professor in the Division of Evaluative Sciences (Graduate Program in Public Health) and directs the National Cardiovascular Care Improvement Program for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Her research focuses on translational applications in cardiac surgery outcomes, including enhanced risk modeling, diagnostic test evaluation, surgical technology assessment, and data-driven decision support across clinical, administrative, and policy domains. Key methodological approaches encompass clinical trials, health services research, and quality improvement frameworks with emphasis on risk adjustment and evidence-based practice.
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals dominant themes in comparative effectiveness research of coronary revascularization techniques, particularly long-term outcomes of on-pump versus off-pump CABG. Significant secondary foci include geographic outcome variations in thoracic surgery, molecular biomarkers in oncology, and educational quality improvement methodologies. Her work consistently employs sophisticated statistical approaches to surgical outcomes data with strong VA healthcare system integration.

Dr. Shroyer leads major multi-institutional studies including the Veterans Affairs Randomized On/Off Bypass (ROOBY) trial and National Emphysema Treatment Trial. Her VA program directs national cardiovascular quality initiatives. Current grants support surgical outcomes methodology development, risk prediction modeling, and implementation science for evidence-based practice. She maintains active collaborations across cardiothoracic surgery, health economics, and biomedical informatics domains.
Her academic leadership extends to medical education quality improvement through dashboard development frameworks and accreditation process management. The ROOBY trial consortium represents her largest collaborative effort involving multiple VA medical centers and academic institutions.
