Erina and I are currently testing clinical interventions to improve antibiotic stewardship through provider-patient communication. Together, we have worked on a CDC-funded grant that analyzed provider-parent communication during pediatric medical visits, as well as a Merck, Inc. funded project assessing provider-patient communication at a university health center.
I continually serve as project coordinator for Erina, managing the training of graduate and undergraduate research assistants and overseeing data collection.
Erina has provided invaluable professional guidance and research mentoring as I develop and further my research program.
