Jeremy Wolfberg started the PhD in Rehabilitation Sciences program at Mass General Brigham University of Health Professions in 2023.
His research is focused on using an interdisciplinary framework called the Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System (RTSS) to describe the active ingredient and desired changes in patient functioning present within evidence-based voice therapy protocols and standard care clinical practice. His research is also focused on using these descriptions to determine similarities and differences between different research protocols and to develop tools that can be used to implement the RTSS framework into clinical documentation, research reporting, and clinical education. Through his previous time in the master’s program at the University and his clinical experience working within an interdisciplinary voice center, Jeremy has seen the value of interprofessional learning and collaboration. He hopes to obtain a clinical research position at a voice center in order to conduct and disseminate clinically relevant research.
