Emily S. Miller, MD, MPH
Dr. Miller is an Associate Professor in Obstetrics & Gynecology at the Alpert Medical School of Brown University. She is the Division Director of Maternal Fetal Medicine at Women & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island. She is committed to improving mental health care for pregnant and postpartum people, with the overarching goal of equitable access to holistic wellness for all new families.
She has led the development of multiple national consensus statements to guide care provision for perinatal mental health. By bringing attention to gaps in health services for perinatal mental health care, she has challenged the paradigm of our current obstetric model of perinatal mental health care and works to transform obstetric care delivery to include behavioral health.
She is currently PI of four NIH-funded studies focused on dissemination of the collaborative care model as a health services intervention to equitably and sustainably integrate mental health care into obstetric settings. Her work focuses on community-engagement to enhance equity in the collaborative care model, digital health tools to scale the collaborative care model to postpartum families, implementation strategies to optimize collaborative care workflow, and prevention of perinatal depression programs with the collaborative care model.
