Dr. Burke's primary interest is in physician decision making. Specifically, he's interested in how physicians approach decisions to obtain diagnostic imaging and how information obtained from these studies informed care. His ultimate goals are to develop more nuanced, efficient and patient-centered approaches to these decisions.
