Dr. Serena Koenig focuses on improving treatment outcomes for HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis (TB) in Haiti. She uses decision analysis methodology to compare the clinical outcomes and cost of a variety of HIV/AIDS and TB treatment strategies at the GHESKIO Center in Port-au-Prince, Haiti in collaboration with researchers from Cornell University. She is also leading a project to measure quality of care across half of the HIV/AIDS treatment programs in Haiti. She divides her clinical time between the infectious disease and internal medicine services at Brigham and Women's Hospital and a public hospital in Haiti, where she supervises a newly opened center for the treatment of drug-resistant TB. Dr. Koenig is the former Medical Director for Partners In Health's Haiti Programs. She continues to work with PIH on an economic development project that she is spearheading with a women’s cooperative in rural Haiti to provide income for the women and build a school in the community. GHESKIO and PIH were recently profiled in the prestigious publication Science as making measurable headway against HIV/AIDS in Haiti despite significant obstacles – AIDS treatment outcomes in these two programs rivals those of the United States.
Dr. Koenig received her MD with Honors from the University of Washington and completed her residency at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and her infectious disease fellowship at Brigham and Women’s and Massachusetts General Hospitals. She completed her Masters in Public Health at the Harvard School of Public Health.
