Career
[edit]Patel completed her medical training at the University of Queensland, and then obtained a Master of Science in Epidemiology at Harvard University and a PhD from University of Sydney.[2]
Patel's research is focused on improving cardiovascular care in the community and in acute care hospital settings.[2] and she also leads research projects in Australia, China and India. She is supported by a Principal Research Fellowship from the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC).
She describes her motivations for treating those with heart disease, “Initially I was interested in how we could improve the treatment for people who are very sick with heart disease, such as those who have suffered a heart attack. However, as time went by, I became more interested in how you actually prevent this heart attack in the first place, because it is probably a lot more beneficial to the population if you can prevent it".[3] Patel wrote an essay on "Making Asia fit for Growth" for the Asia Society in Australia.[4]
