Mathew Reeves, BVSc, PhD, FAHA Professor of Epidemiology Mathew Reeves is a Professor of Epidemiology at Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan, USA. His research interests center on quality of care and outcomes in stroke patients using large clinical stroke registries such as the national Get-With-The–Guidelines-Stroke program and the Michigan Coverdell Acute Stroke Registry. He is also actively involved in studying care transitions through the MISTT study (Michigan Stroke Transitions Trial) - a Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) funded trial. This trial tested the effects of case management support through a combination of visiting social workers and educational support through a patient-centered website. The MISTT trial involves the collection, analysis, and interpretation of several PROMIS-based patient-reported outcome measures. His methodological training includes a PhD in epidemiology from the University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, USA), his public health training includes working at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Atlanta, GA, and his clinical training includes degrees in veterinary medicine from the University of Liverpool, UK and Colorado State University, USA. He has authored over 270 peer-review publications. He mentors undergraduate and graduate-level students, teaches evidence-based medicine to medical students, cardiovascular disease epidemiology to graduate students, and research methods to clinical fellows and residents.
