Dr. Allen's current research focuses on medical education innovation, including past funding from the American Medical Association to implement health systems sciences into the curriculum and to develop novel approaches to improve the use of relationship-centered communication, telemedicine, and point-of-care ultrasound skills into undergraduate and graduate medical education. Current funding emphasizes primary care skill development in students with emphasis on care for underserved populations as a way to better address the current physician workforce gaps present nationwide.
During his fellowship training at University of Iowa Hospitals, Dr. Allen had interest in endocarditis and endovascular infections. He brought these research interests along with a focus on the bacterial adherence factors associated with these infections with him when he joined the ID faculty at IUSM. Later he was involved in clinical trials for Clostridioides difficile colitis treatment options.
