Research

Overview

At the beginning of my career, the majority of my scholarly activity was in the context of teaching and evaluating 3rd year medical students in the Family Medicine clerkship, for which I served as the clerkship director. This has included work on faculty evaluations, teaching communication skills, using standardized patient experiences and most recently, work in an interprofessional teaching clinic.

About 5 years ago I transitioned away from the clerkship and became co-director in our Interprofessional Teaching Clinic (IPTC) along with a pharmacy faculty colleague. I have presented and published both on the learning aspect for students of multiple disciplines as well as the patient perceptions of their care.

Most recently, we have begun considering how to effectively teach structural competency as well as providing more patient-centered care through home visits.
