Her passion to improve the quality and efficiency of care delivery led Dr. Bloom to obtain a Masters of Public Health in healthcare management.

During her graduate training Dr. Bloom pursued projects in health information technology including an analysis with recommendations on EMR adoption in Pediatrics and on the approach to developing a patient portal.
