    Collapse overview
    Dr. Gimbel is an associate professor and chair in the Department of Public Health Sciences. He came to Clemson in 2014 from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. Ron has experience in operations, health administration and health policy. His research interests focus on improving health care delivery and health outcomes through clinical research on physician decision-making, clinical documentation, and enhanced communication. He also teaches courses in clinical & translational science and health informatics. Ron also serves as a mentor for the Embedded Scholars program.

    Dr. Gimbel is transforming health care through mobile health technology. He is actively engaged in research aimed at enhancing active living of chronic diabetes patients. He is also striving to use clinical decision support technology to aid physicians in clinical decision-making around medical imaging to reduce radiation exposure and improve the ordering of advanced medical imaging.

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
