Biography
Daniel Oates, MD, MSc, returned to BU and Boston Medical Center (BMC) in October 2023 to become medical director of senior services and partnership for the Boston Medical Center Health System. He provides clinical care on the inpatient geriatrics consult service as well as home visits within the Enhanced Care Program, providing addition services and medical support to dual eligible seniors who have both Medicare and Medicaid. In these capacities he precepts medical students during their required fourth-year geriatrics clerkship. The major focus of his scholarly work has been on health literacy and educational interventions related to health literacy that ultimately impact quality and safety. While away from BU and BMC, Dr. Oates maintained an active clinical practice, working as a medical director and treating patients in long-term care, as well as geriatric patients in clinic and at home.
