Summer Johnson McGee is a national expert in health policy, healthcare management, bioethics, and the ethical issues surrounding chronic pain treatment and management. She has published extensively on public participation in bioethics and public policy; public health ethics; research ethics; and the ethics of chronic pain, authoring more than a dozen peer-reviewed publications, encyclopedia entries, book chapters, and commentaries.
Her work helps define for primary care providers and others what an ethical approach to pain management looks like. Dr. McGee’s research has found that, despite additional exploration into non-opioid treatment options, what has not improved has been access to care and reimbursement or insurance coverage for pain treatments such as acupuncture, meditation, or other strategies proven effective in treating chronic pain.
In 2016, she was the co-author of a "controlled-substance agreement" that was published in an article in the Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine.
Dr. McGee, who has been cited as one of the top 50 healthcare management professors in the U.S., was named the dean of the University’s School of Health Sciences in 2018. She also directs the University’s M.S. program in healthcare administration. She collaborated with Milford Hospital to establish a learning laboratory partnership between the hospital and University graduate students in healthcare administration.
She has received a University Excellence in Teaching Award from the University of New Haven and an American College of Healthcare Executives Regents Award for Distinguished Faculty for her commitment to quality healthcare management education.
Prior to joining the University of New Haven, she developed new graduate programs in bioethics at both Albany Medical College’s Alden March Bioethics Institute and at the University of Kansas School of Medicine-affiliated Center for Practical Bioethics.
A former executive editor and co-editor-in-chief of The American Journal of Bioethics, the most cited journal in the field, she wrote "Ethical Dilemmas Relating to the Management of a Newborn with Down Syndrome and Severe Congenital Heart Disease in a Resource-Poor Setting," published in Narrative Inquiry in Bioethics.
Her interest in bioethics began as an undergraduate at Indiana University, where she helped design the bioethics major and graduated summa cum laude. A former recipient of both a Fulbright and a Javits fellowship, Dr. McGee received her Ph.D. in bioethics and health policy from the Johns Hopkins University’s Bloomberg School of Public Health by the time she was 25. In 2018, she received her certificate in management development from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education.
