After completing his MD and his PhD (in history of science) at Harvard, he trained in psychiatry at MGH and McLean Hospital, and then worked in the Psychiatric Emergency Services at Cambridge Hospital, a site that powerfully demonstrates the reciprocal interactions between disease and society. His initial research focused on health disparities, particularly during epidemics of smallpox and tuberculosis among American Indians. He is now juggling two research projects, one on race, pharmacology, and disparities in treatment outcome, the other on techniques of cardiac revascularization (bypass surgery and angioplasty).
Scott Podolsky, M.D., Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Social Medicine and a primary care physician at Massachusetts General Hospital with a longstanding parallel interest in the history of medicine, convinced that the two fields can be mutually informing.

He has previously co-authored Generation of Diversity: Clonal Selection Theory and the Rise of Molecular Immunology (1997), and authored Pneumonia before Antibiotics: Therapeutic Evolution and Evaluation in Twentieth-Century America (2006). His current research, concerning the advent of "therapeutic rationalism" as mediated by concerns over antibiotic usage and "overuse" over the past half-century, looks at the evolving interactions among physicians, patients, pharmaceutical companies, governmental agencies, and therapeutic reformers throughout this period.
