Dr. Mangione’s funded research focuses on the care that older Latinos and African Americans with diabetes receive.  As part of this research agenda, currently she is one of the principal investigators for a project funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to study the quality of care for these persons with diabetes in managed care settings, and is conducting an NIDDK-funded project focused on community-based empowerment intervention among older Latinos and African Americans with diabetes to improve their self-care skills.  Additionally, she has a long-standing and on-going interest in the relationship between visual disability, falls and functional decline among the elderly.

Dr. Mangione received her B.S. from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, her M.D. degree from the University of California, San Francisco, and her M.S.P.H. from the Harvard School of Public Health, Boston.  She was awarded membership in the American Society of Clinical Investigation and Association of American Physicians (ASCI/AAP) and the Society of General Internal Medicine (SGIM) Mid-Career Mentorship Award.  Earlier in her career she was awarded the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Generalist Physician Faculty Scholar Award and the Association for Health Services Research Young Investigators Summer Internship Award.
