Dr. Matthew Pappas
Dr. Pappas completed his residency at the University of Michigan Health System and a postdoctoral fellowship with the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System in 2016. Currently a hospitalist, he believes in addressing the tension between evidence-based and personal decisions, a fundamental hypothesis of his research career.
