Dr. Carolyn Mazariego

Biography

Carolyn Mazariego is an implementation scientist and health services researcher focusing on strategies and methods to ensure person-centred models of routine care. She specializes in designing implementation processes from the outset, utilizing tools such as process mapping and co-design alongside implementation frameworks to ensure that innovations are scalable, sustainable, and embedded within routine clinical workflows. Her research interests center on the design of digital health innovations, particularly tools that enhance person-centered care and integrate patient-reported measures throughout the cancer continuum. Mazariego holds an Early Career Research Fellowship from the Cancer Institute NSW, which aims to co-design, implement, and evaluate tumor-specific patient-reported outcome modules for prostate, ovarian, and head and neck cancers. She leads a national scoping project to identify and address gaps in cancer survivorship supportive care. Additionally, she holds a leadership role at the Clinical Oncology Society of Australia as the Chair of the Policy Implementation Subcommittee, guiding national initiatives to strengthen survivorship models of care in alignment with the Australian Cancer Plan. Mazariego is also committed to building capacity in implementation science among cancer researchers and clinicians, serving as a national facilitator for the Training Institute for Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health (TIDIRH Australia) and contributing to the Implementation Science Digital Health Master's level course at UNSW.
