In achieving this aim, he has performed extensive research related to: 1) care delivered by ambulance-based emergency medical technicians and paramedics, 2) community paramedicine / mobile integrated health care; and 3) telemedicine for acute unscheduled care.
Dr. Shah is one of the national leaders in emergency medicine research and, more specifically, in geriatric emergency medicine research. He has received research and education funding from the NIH, AHRQ, CDC, and a number of foundations. He has published over 200 manuscripts, abstracts, and other publications. He serves in many roles, including on NIH, AHRQ, and foundation study sections; on committees within emergency medicine and geriatrics specialty organizations; on the editorial board of Academic Emergency Medicine, Prehospital Emergency Care, and the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.
