Dr. Danielle Fine completed an internal medicine residency in the Primary Care and HIV track at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. She then completed the Harvard-wide General Medicine and Primary Care Research Fellowship while obtaining a Master of Science degree in Clinical Epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Dr. Fine’s research focuses on improving access to and outcomes of substance use disorder treatment, particularly among marginalized populations. She has received
grant funding as Principal Investigator to evaluate an innovative mobile outreach program that delivers addiction treatment, harm reduction services, and primary care to highly marginalized homeless individuals with opioid use disorder. She was selected to be a scholar in Massachusetts General Hospital's Substance Use and Addiction Medicine K12 Program to prospectively study retention in the Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program office-based addiction treatment program. She has also received funding from the Harvard University Center for AIDS Research to study methamphetamine use and its impact on HIV risk behaviors among people experiencing homelessness. Her long-term career goal is to become a leader in addiction medicine, with a focus on the development and testing of patient-centered interventions to improve the health and health care of marginalized individuals with substance use disorders.
