Martin Slade serves as a Lecturer in the Occupational & Environmental Medicine Program at Yale School of Medicine, with secondary appointments in Environmental Health Sciences. His work spans multiple departments including General Internal Medicine, Internal Medicine, and the Yale School of Public Health, reflecting his interdisciplinary approach to occupational health research.
- PhD in Public Health from Walden University (2021)
- MPH from Yale University School of Medicine (2001)
- BS from Syracuse University (1980)
- Postgraduate Trainee at Harvard School of Public Health
Mr. Slade's research focuses on developing analytical models to evaluate how physical, social, and environmental factors affect disease and injury patterns in workplace settings, including non-traditional environments like the military and merchant mariners. His work particularly examines psychosocial influences on aging, investigating how older individuals' perceptions of aging impact cognition and health in later life. He also studies mechanical hearing protection and pharmacological interventions for noise-induced hearing loss prevention. Notably, he has served as lead statistician for four Department of Defense clinical trials examining pharmacological agents for preventing hearing loss and mild traumatic brain injuries.
His recent publications (2024-2025) reveal a strong focus on vascular surgery outcomes, occupational health in healthcare settings, and aging research. The articles demonstrate expertise in predictive modeling, particularly for surgical outcomes and kidney injury prevention. His collaborative work spans multiple disciplines including vascular surgery, gerontology, and occupational health, with frequent co-authorship with researchers like Becca Levy, Raul Guzman, and Carrie Redlich.
Mr. Slade actively contributes to research on aging cognition, with media coverage of his work appearing in publications like Medium discussing how positive views on aging can improve cognitive function and overall health. His research on absenteeism among healthcare workers provides valuable insights into workplace factors affecting sickness absence.
As a Lecturer, he contributes to medical education through the Center for Medical Education at Yale. His dual expertise in statistical methodology and occupational health makes him a valuable resource for clinical trials and research design, particularly in the areas of workplace health and aging.
