Parmet Ranked Among Top 10 Most Cited Health Law Faculty in the United States
Top Tier
Professor Wendy E. Parmet, a leading expert on public health law, health law and disability law, has been ranked No. 7 among the “10 most-cited health law faculty in the US, 2019–2023,” according to “Brian Leiter’s Law School Reports.” The ranking is based on data provided by Professor Greg Sisk and his colleagues at the University of St. Thomas. Parmet, faculty director of Northeastern Law’s Center for Health Policy and Law, is a prolific author who is nationally renowned for her interdisciplinary thinking and problem-solving on issues related to public health.
“There is no honor greater than knowing that your work is being read and cited by your peers,” said Parmet, the author or editor of five books and hundreds of articles about public health, bioethics, discrimination, health law and HIV/AIDS law in leading law and public health journals. She is also regularly quoted in the national press. In 2016, she was honored with the prestigious Jay Healey Teaching Award by the American Society of Law, Medicine & Ethics at its annual conference. In 2022, the American Public Health Association Law Section selected her for its Lifetime Achievement in Public Health Law award.
“Wendy Parmet has long been a trailblazer in public health law,” said Dean James Hackney. “Her cutting-edge research, writing and advocacy continue to redefine how we address complex health challenges through interdisciplinary thinking and putting ideas into action. We are incredibly proud of all that she has accomplished and of her national leadership in health law.”
