Professor Chirayath's research and teaching interests include medical sociology, social inequalities and health, and the health care professions. Her most recent publications focus on the work and family lives of physicians married to other physicians, and on the development of patient-responsive models of medical care.
Professor Chirayath's dissertation research focused on the humanitarian attitudes and behaviors of physicians. She explored the extent to which physicians provide care to medically indigent patients, and the social predictors and personal motivations for such service. Her current research continues in this vein, exploring physician perceptions of medically indigent patients.
