Dr. Jarvik is Professor with Tenure of Radiology and Neurological Surgery in the School of Medicine and Professor of Health Services in the School of Public Health at the University of Washington. He is also Adjunct Professor of Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in the School of Medicine and Adjunct Professor of Pharmacy in the School of Pharmacy. He serves as Director of the Comparative Effectiveness, Cost and Outcomes Research Center (CECORC) and Director of the Health Services Research Section for the Department of Radiology.
Dr. Jarvik attended the University of California, San Diego for both undergraduate education and medical school. He then did his residency in Diagnostic Radiology and fellowship in Neuroradiology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. He obtained his MPH from the University of Washington in Health Services while a Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholar. His studies in the RWJ Clinical Scholars Program focused on the evaluation of diagnostic and therapeutic technologies related to low back pain, with Richard A. Deyo, MD MPH as his primary mentor. Dr. Jarvik is a recipient of the GE-AUR Radiology Research Academic Fellowship (GERRAF), a career development award for radiologists.
Dr. Jarvik is an internationally recognized expert in MR imaging of the spine as well as in the field of health services and comparative effectiveness research as it relates to radiology. As the Director of CECORC he has led or collaborated on multiple technology assessments using multidisciplinary teams involving a wide variety of medical and surgical specialties as well as non-clinical disciplines of biostatistics, economics, epidemiology, and health services. He has extensive practical experience in the conduct of both observational as well as randomized controlled trials of devices and procedures. He has published studies focused on technology assessment and back pain in numerous prestigious journals including JAMA, The Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine.
Dr. Jarvik is the only radiologist to be selected as a Principal Investigator for the NIH Collaboratory, an initiative that is part of the NIH Director’s fund to foster pragmatic clinical trials. He was also the PI of the Back pain Outcomes using Longitudinal Data (BOLD) project, a $10 million project funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality that established a large registry to investigate diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in seniors with low back pain.
Dr. Jarvik has been a longstanding member of the ASNR, RSNA, AUR, and RAHSR and has served on multiple committees for these organizations. He is a past-President of the Radiology Alliance for Health Services Research (RAHSR) and has received their Lifetime Achievement Award.
