Nathaniel J Glasser, MD, MPP is a general internist, pediatrician, and health researcher in the Section of General Internal Medicine. Clinically, he practices primary care for both pediatric and adult patients, and hospital medicine for adults. He loves partnering with patients to develop healthcare plans that are both evidence-based and tailored to individual needs and values.
His research focuses primarily on how health behaviors convey information about people’s identities and, relatedly, how people tailor their health behaviors to convey information about their identities to others. Often, his research focuses on masculinity, exploring how social pressures on boys and men to fit in occasionally wind up at odds with the recommendations of health professionals. His work investigates new and innovative ways to help engage boys and men across the life course in preventive healthcare.
He also works as an educator, helping train the next generation of health professionals, including medical students and residents.
