Margaret Pisani, MD, MPH, is Professor of Internal Medicine specializing in Pulmonary, Critical Care & Sleep Medicine at Yale School of Medicine, where she also serves as Vice Chief for Faculty Mentoring and Career Development. Board-certified in pulmonary and critical care medicine, she brings expertise in chronic disease epidemiology to her research and clinical work.
Her educational background includes an MD from Temple University (1994), an MPH in chronic disease epidemiology from Yale School of Public Health (2001), residency and chief residency at Yale-New Haven Hospital, and fellowship training at Yale University School of Medicine.
Dr. Pisani's research program focuses on improving care and outcomes for critically ill patients, with particular emphasis on geriatric critical care, ICU delirium, sleep disruption in intensive care settings, and sex and gender differences in pulmonary and critical care medicine. Her work spans clinical epidemiology, intervention development, and outcomes research.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong focus on geriatric critical care interventions, particularly for older ICU patients. Her research examines delirium prevention strategies, post-ICU functional impairment prediction tools, and the impact of sex and gender on critical care outcomes. She has led significant multicenter trials including the MIND-USA study on antipsychotic treatment for delirium.
