Ronald L. Maag

Ronald L. Maag, MD serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine, maintaining an active research profile with nine publications spanning 2013-2025 and an h-index of 32. His work bridges clinical cardiology and medical education, contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goals for health and well-being through dual-focused scholarship.

Dr. Maag's research program operates at two critical intersections: precision cardiology and evidence-based medical education. His cardiology work investigates genetic testing implications in ambulatory settings, patient-clinician dynamics in precision medicine, and cardiovascular fitness as a protective factor against obesity-related disease. Concurrently, his educational research pioneers methodological rigor in learning science through randomized crossover trials examining active versus passive techniques in large-group medical instruction.

Recent publications (2021-2025) reveal a cohesive trajectory: advancing precision cardiology via the HeartCare Study and genetic management frameworks while simultaneously innovating medical pedagogy through controlled trials on learning effectiveness. This dual focus demonstrates strategic contribution to both clinical practice improvement and physician training evolution.
