Jay Shubrook, DO

Dr. Shubrook’s professional work and passion focuses on preparing the primary care workforce to better manage diabetes and optimizing the prevention and treatment of diabetes. After 10 years in primary care, he completed a Diabetes Management Fellowship and has been focusing on care of the patient with diabetes ever since. He served as the Director of an integrated comprehensive diabetes care center and also as the Director of Clinical Research at both Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine (HCOM) and, more recently, Touro University California College of Osteopathic Medicine. He served a the Director of the Diabetes Fellowship Program for Primary Care Physicians at HCOM and looks forward to expanding this training opportunity to new professionals and a new institution. Dr. Shubrook still advises the program at HCOM and serves on a national ad hoc committee of American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists on implementing primary care diabetes training even more broadly. He has served in a number of national roles such as Chair of the Primary Care Advisory Group of the American Diabetes Association and the Chair of the Research Committee of the Guidelines Advantage, collaboration between the American Heart Association, American Cancer Society and the American Diabetes Association. Dr. Shubrook has been NCQA certified throughout his time as a Diabetologist and has helped each of our Fellows achieve this honor. 

Having served in both primary care and specialist roles, he is acutely aware of the gaps in the health care system that lead to fragmented and poorly-coordinated and executed care. Further, having been active in measuring quality of care, he is accustomed and very knowledgeable of the clinical shortcomings of clinical practice self-assessment.
