Sharon-Lise Teresa Normand is a Canadian biostatistician whose research centers on the evaluation of the quality of care provided by physicians and hospitals,[1] and on the health outcomes for medical devices and medical procedures.
[3] Normand writes that, at this point in her career, she was tempted by early job offers at lower-ranked institutions, but that a faculty mentor advised her that a better position would surely come to her if she waited.
She joined the Harvard Biostatistics faculty in 1992, and added a joint appointment in the Department of Health Care Policy in 1995.
[3] In 2002 Normand was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association[4] for "influential application of Bayesian methodology to health policy problems, for leadership in the new area of health policy statistics, and for promoting and communicating statistical methods and assessments of the quality of cardiovascular disease and mental illness.
She also won the Distinguished Service Award of the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research in 2012,[1] and the L. Adrienne Cupples Award for Excellence in Teaching, Research, and Service in Biostatistics in 2015.
