Research Interest

Dr. Parish’s primary research focus has been over resuscitation in the hospital. However, he has also completed a four year NIH funded study of predictors of quality of life following an acute coronary syndrome. He has participated in the development of programs for the Center of Rural Health and Health Disparities in Community Medicine. Currently, he is the site-PI for an NIH funded study assessing changes in frailty among subjects with atrial fibrillation (SAGE-AF). He has been active in the American Heart Association at local, state and national levels and served on the National Emergency Cardiac Care Subcommittee on Education for five years. Additionally, he is an active member of the American College of Physicians, the Society of General Internal Medicine and Physicians for National Health Program.
