How their research is transforming health care
This brief statement on your part will be used by CUSHR on its website and in other public relations to explain the significance of your research. It will also help to facilitate contacts by you with additional Clemson University faculty. The practice of Emergency medicine involves taking care of people of all ages and walks of life providing them with everything from basic medical and health literacy education to life saving critical procedures. Working in various Prisma Emergency Departments across the Upstate of South Carolina, we serve many patients with limited resources or no health insurance. My job necessitates that I incorporate fast paced clinical decisions with evidence-based medicine and social determinants of health and the health care system to care for my patients. My experience and intellectual curiosity extends beyond the Emergency Department walls, knowing that much of health care success comes from prevention, access, and education. I aspire to push and deliver better science and better care to the bedside even beyond the one acute care visit the patient has with us. I am completing the Prisma-Clemson University physician scholar in the Clinical and Translational Research Graduate Certificate Program to strengthen my base in epidemiology, health care improvement, population health, and to establish local research connections between our organizations. My Clemson-Prisma Seed grants involve methods of monitoring and caring for patients after discharge with a goal of improving outpatient engagement and improving health care utilization. I believe research serves to establish “the facts” for advocating for our patients, improved resources, and fair health care access.
