Oreofe Odejide

Oreofe Odejide, MD, MPH is an Instructor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School, and a Hematologic Oncologist at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Dr. Odejide graduated with distinction from Howard University College of Medicine, Washington, D.C. She completed her residency in internal medicine at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, followed by a fellowship in hematology and oncology at the Dana-Farber/Partners CancerCare Program. She also obtained a Master of Public Health from the Harvard School of Public Health with a concentration in Clinical Effectiveness. Dr. Odejide’s research efforts are focused on understanding and improving quality of care for patients with hematologic cancers throughout the disease continuum – from diagnosis to the end-of-life (EOL) phase. She was the recipient of an American Society of Clinical Oncology Young Investigator Award, with which she conducted a qualitative study of hematologic oncologists to characterize perceptions and decision-making processes regarding EOL care. With funding from the Lymphoma Research Foundation, she then developed and conducted a large national survey of hematologic oncologists to identify barriers to quality EOL care, as well as potential interventions for improvement. The Diversity Inclusion and Community Partnership Faculty Fellowship Award will give Dr. Odejide the opportunity to expand her research to develop and test interventions to improve quality of EOL care for patients with hematologic cancers.
