Keith Cox is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Primary Care Research Training Program at George Washington University and a Visiting Scholar in the School of Health Sciences at Oakland University. As a medical sociologist with an interest in communication, he uses conversation analysis to study video-recorded medical visits in a variety of clinical contexts including primary care, oncology, pediatric neurology, and inpatient rehabilitation for patients living with disorders of consciousness. He is particularly interested in how providers and families overcome interactional challenges that arise in complex medical contexts.
