Mary M. McDermott, MD

Jeremiah Stamler Professor of Medicine
Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine
Chicago, Illinois, United States

Mary M. McDermott MD is the Jeremiah Stamler Professor of Medicine at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. Dr. McDermott is a physician scientist and clinical trialist whose work has defined the trajectory of decline in walking ability in people with PAD, using the 6-minute walk test. Her work has documented that even PAD that is not associated with leg symptoms is associated with greater walking impairment and faster rates of mobility loss than people without PAD. Her work currently is focused on identifying interventions to improve walking performance in PAD. Previously, she led work demonstrating that walking exercise that induced ischemic leg symptoms was significantly more effective than walking exercise without ischemic leg symptoms in people with PAD. Dr. McDermott is a Master of The Society of Vascular Medicine and an American Heart Association Distinguished Scientist. She is a Deputy Editor for the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
