Britni Wilcher
Affiliate, Center for Population Health Sciences
BioBritni Wilcher, PhD, is a Visiting Scholar in the Department of Health Policy at Stanford University and an applied microeconomist working at the intersection of health, labor, and gender economics. Dr. Wilcher's research focuses on the economics of health decision making and its implications for labor markets using quasi-experimental designs. Her research portfolio spans vulnerable populations and policy interventions, from evaluating teletherapy adoption patterns among 200,000+ veterans to conducting regulatory impact analyses protecting 22+ million workers nationwide. Her collaborative research products have withstood judicial review up to the Supreme Court and provided evidence-based input into policy actions. Her work has been cited in congressional testimony and the 2022 Economic Report of the President. It has been featured in federal regulations and published in peer-reviewed journals including Labour Economics, Health Economics, Value in Health, and the International Journal of Technology Assessment in Health Care.
Dr. Wilcher has worked in management consulting, government, universities, and has consulted with think tanks, foundations, the EU Commission, and a United Nations entity. She holds a PhD in Economics from American University, an MSc in International Health Care Management, Economics, and Policy from SDA Bocconi School of Management, and a BA in Economics from Spelman College. -
Laura Graham
Other Teaching Staff-Hourly, Surgery
BioI am an epidemiologist and health services researcher with nearly 20 years of experience in surgical outcomes research. My work focuses on improving healthcare delivery and outcomes for Veterans and other vulnerable populations, particularly those who are older or medically complex. Using large administrative datasets from the Veterans Health Administration (VA), I study surgical processes and outcomes to inform system-level improvements.
With postdoctoral training in health economics and implementation science, I bring expertise in causal inference methodology and artificial intelligence, particularly the use of natural language processing (NLP). I apply these methods to extract insights from unstructured clinical data and to strengthen causal analyses in complex healthcare datasets. These approaches allow me to address research questions that were previously difficult to study with standard empirical approaches.
As a collaborative leader, I have mentored junior investigators and worked across academic and industry sectors to advance health services research. My goal is to translate evidence into practice, ultimately improving the quality of surgical care for Veterans. -
