Bio
Hello! I am currently a third year medical student at the Medical College of Wisconsin and am most interested in the field of surgery. I am passionate about surgical outcomes, sociodemographic, and population level research. As the first person in my family to go to medical school, I understand the value of having someone in your corner to amplify your self-efficacy, academic strengths, and fortitude. I want to be that person for you! In my free time you can find me at baking banana bread (the key is using brown sugar), sourcing archival fashion, and babysitting.Project ideas
Geographic disparities in adult asthma hospitalizations
There are multiple free publicly available databases including the Centers for Disease Control WONDER and NHANES platform as well as the National Institutes of Health SEER Cancer program. You will be able to research the incidence, distribution, and management of a disease of choice using real world data. Understanding the importance of epidemiological research is a critical aspect in the advancement of medicine and scientific research. This is an excellent opportunity to learn basic coding languages to learn simple statistical analysis.
Outcomes of minimally invasive surgery versus open surgery in the pediatric population:
You will be able to learn and apply PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines to perform a scoping review of existing literature of a topic of their choice. This will be a great opportunity to practice the art of writing a literature review or meta-analysis, which is often the basis of many great future research projects.
