Researcher | Research Overview
Naomi Gauthier's research interest center around the range and plasticity of exercise physiology in congenital and pediatric acquired heart disease and the response to treatment via exercise therapeutics. Additionally, she is interested in the relationship between exercise delivery, resiliency, and positive health in terms of cardiopulmonary fitness, patient reported outcomes, and longitudinal surgical outcomes.
Researcher | Research Background
Naomi Gauthier received her MD from the University of Massachusetts Medical School, completed her residency and chief year at University of California, Davis, and her fellowship at the University of Virginia.
