Short Biography:
Dr. Frisbee completed her BSc at the University of Guelph in Biomedical Sciences, followed by an MSc in Consumer Policy and Affairs with a focus on applied economics. Dr. Frisbee completed an MA in Political Science (American Politics and Policy) and a PhD in Public Policy Analysis, with a specialization in Health Policy, from the West Virginia University.
Following completion of her MSc, Dr. Frisbee worked as a research manager at the University of Washington in the Department of Bioengineering. In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Dr. Frisbee’s career developed in a clinical setting, starting in the Pediatric Emergency Medicine Department and continuing in the Quality and Outcomes division at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. Rapid interest in and need for quantitative evaluation of the quality and outcomes of health care resulted in brisk expansion of this division, and Dr. Frisbee rising to the level of manager of the Outcomes Department at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin and also the National Outcomes Center, then part of Children’s Hospital and Health System. Following a relocation to the West Virginia University Health Sciences Center in 2004, Dr. Frisbee’s career continued to evolve and she became a member of faculty in the Department of Health Policy, Leadership and Management in the newly formed School of Public Health, contributing extensively to the programmatic and curricular design and implementation that ultimately resulted in full CEPH accreditation for the new School. In addition to developing curricula and courses for the School of Public Health, Dr. Frisbee contributed substantially to the creation of a novel PhD program in Clinical and Translational Sciences. At WVU, Dr. Frisbee was also a core member of faculty in the Cardiovascular and Respiratory Sciences Center, and was a researcher associated with the C8 Health Project.
