Travis P. Baggett, MD, MPH, is an Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, a Physician-Investigator in the MGB Division of General Internal Medicine, and the Director of Research at the Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program, where he oversees the research portfolio for this innovative community health center.
Dr. Baggett's research focuses on the health and health care needs of people experiencing homelessness. His work employs a range of research methods to identify and address the sources of health disparities affecting this marginalized population, with particular emphasis on substance use disorders and cancer prevention and early detection. His research has been supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the National Cancer Institute, and the American Cancer Society, among other organizations.
In 2015, Dr. Baggett received the MGB Department of Medicine Transformative Scholars Program Award, and in 2019 he was honored with the prestigious Stephen M. Krane, MD, Lectureship Award in recognition of his innovative work with a traditionally underserved population.
In 2023, Dr. Baggett became Co-Program Director of the Harvard Medical School Fellowship in General Medicine and Primary Care after serving as the MGB Fellowship Site Director for four years. As an alumnus of the fellowship, he is deeply committed to mentoring fellows and early-career faculty, helping to prepare the next generation of leaders in academic general medicine and primary care research.

Sachin J. Shah, MD, is a physician-investigator in the MGB Division of General Internal Medicine and the Center for Aging and Serious Illness. His research program aims to help older adults make individualized treatment decisions when they face high-stakes medical decisions, such as whether to use blood thinners or undergo invasive medical procedures.
After completing the General Medicine Research Fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital, Dr. Shah joined the faculty at UCSF. Following five years at UCSF, he returned to the MGB Division of General Internal Medicine, where he provides clinical care, supervises trainees, and conducts research.
Dr. Shah's research program uses epidemiologic methods and core principles of aging research to better define the risks and benefits of high-risk therapeutics. His work focuses on high-stakes clinical decisions—those with the potential for both substantial benefit and harm—and on improving how vulnerability is defined and measured in older adults. His work is funded by the National Institute on Aging and supported by the MGB Department of Medicine.
Dr. Shah has mentored 15+ postdoctoral trainees and junior faculty across multiple disciplines, many of whom have continued careers in academic medicine.
