Languages spoken: English

Harriet W. Hopf, MD is board certified in Anesthesiology. Dr. Hopf provides anesthesia at the University of Utah for patients undergoing a variety of surgical procedures. She has a particular interest in preventing surgical site (wound) and other infections. She is frequently consulted as an expert resource on infection control by surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and other staff.

Dr. Hopf is Professor and Executive Director of Faculty Development and Academic Affairs in the Department of Anesthesiology, Adjunct Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Co-Director of the Utah Coaching and Advancement Network (U-CAN), and President of the Academic Senate at the University of Utah. She is a past Chair of the Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research (FAER) Board of Directors and serves on the Board of Directors for Women in Anesthesiology. She co-teaches the yearlong Building Your Career Infrastructure for the Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine (ELAM) and Executive Leadership in Healthcare (ELH) programs at Drexel. Dr. Hopf has more than 100 publications. Her research, which has been supported by the NIH for over 20 years, focuses on surgical site infection prevention and reducing the environmental impact of infection control, as well as gender equity and professionalism. Dr. Hopf received the FAER Mentoring Excellence in Research Award in 2013, the University of Utah’s Linda K. Amos Award for Distinguished Service to Women in 2017, and the Women in Anesthesiology Distinguished Service Award in 2019. In 2020, she was selected as one of 250 images on the Utah Women 2020 Mural, public art commemorating the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment (http://womensmural.com/).
