Eric G. Campbell, PhD is a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and director of research at the Mongan Institute for Health Policy at Massachusetts General Hospital. Over the past decade, his research has focused broadly on professionalism in medicine and has empirically examined issues related to conflicts of interest, self-regulation, care for the poor, and participation in civic activities.

Dr. Campbell conducts research relating to physician conflict of interest and professionalism that has attracted attention from peers, health care organizations, and national policymakers. With funding from various organizations, including the Office for Research Integrity in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the National Institutes of Health, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and the Institute for Medicine as a Profession, he has performed national surveys, gathered information from key decision makers, and developed tools to assess physicians’ professional norms and attitudes. Dr. Campbell aims to further understanding of how academic-industry relationships affect the process and outcomes of biomedical research and the impact of data-sharing and withholding on academic science. He is also investigating the role of organizational culture in promoting patient safety in the inpatient and long term care settings.
