At Carey, Frick has taught microeconomic foundations for managerial decision-making, healthcare financing, and frameworks for analyzing healthcare markets. Much of Frick’s research has focused on measuring costs associated with diseases or measuring the cost-effectiveness of new treatments, care systems, or community-based interventions. Areas of focus include nursing, public and private eye care, and cancer. In addition, he has specialized in linking peer-reviewed research from public health, nursing, and medical journals with the information business leaders need to make decisions about companies that operate in the real-world marketplace. He has had the opportunity to mentor students, faculty, and staff, as well as to speak on it (particularly mentoring as a two-way street) many times.
