Maria Zenoni is a Staff Affiliate at the Yale School of Medicine (Yale University), primarily affiliated with the Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC). Her work focuses on geriatric medicine, palliative care, and healthcare policy, with a strong emphasis on advance care planning, opioid therapy management, and patient-centered care for older adults with chronic conditions. She holds a Master of Science (2011) and Bachelor of Science (2009) in Exercise Science from Southern Connecticut State University.
Her research investigates strategies to improve advance care planning engagement, deprescribing practices for elderly patients, and interdisciplinary approaches to long-term opioid therapy for cancer pain. Key collaborations include work with Terri Fried, Marcia Mecca, and Thomas Gill. Zenoni has contributed to hybrid clinical trials and randomized controlled trials evaluating interventions to align healthcare with patient priorities and enhance surrogate decision-making.
Publications highlight her expertise in geriatric clinical research, including studies on patient-surrogate communication gaps, opioid risk-benefit analyses, and protocols for multimorbidity management. While no specific labs or grants are explicitly listed, her work is deeply integrated into clinical practice and policy development within Yale’s medical system.
