I'm excited to share that I will be presenting at the 2024 American Public Health Association in Minneapolis! 🎉 Showcasing two of our latest research posters: 1. Quantifying the Bachelor's to Medical School Education Pipeline Across the U.S. https://lnkd.in/gwcgBkhA An extension to the research published with American Educational Research Association, this poster presents an open-source methodology for estimating the transition from undergraduate to medical education. 2. A Chronic Disease Outcomes-Based Methodology to Estimate Primary Care Physician Demand Across the U.S. https://lnkd.in/gHxX9Fez Introduced a population health framework to estimate the demand for primary care physicians across states. This helps identify areas with insufficient provider access, supporting strategic planning to improve healthcare availability. Looking forward to connecting with public health professionals and discussing how these data-driven approaches can contribute to improving healthcare access and outcomes! #APHA2024 #APHA #PublicHealth #HealthcareWorkforce #Education #MedicalEducation #PrimaryCare #Innovation #PopulationHealth #HealthWorkForce #WorkforceDevelopment #DataScience #DataEngineering #OpenSource

Will you be at the 2024 American Public Health Association conference in Minneapolis, MN later this month?!!? If so, you should make sure to stop by our two poster sessions! It was wonderful to work with some of my current and former colleagues at Tech Impact on this growing body of work! Sarthak Ahir Dharneeshkar Jayaprakash Carter English Kaitlin Canalichio. 1. Quantifying the bachelor’s to medical school education pipeline across the U.S. ✨What is it? A open-source methodology for estimating the transition from undergraduate to medical education. 💭Why care? We’ve linked this data back to high school enrollment, allowing for evidence driven workforce intervention design. 2. A chronic disease outcomes-based methodology to estimate primary care physician demand across the U.S. ✨What is it? An open-source population health based approach to quantifying the gap between disease burden and provider access. 💭Why care? We propose a modular and iterative framework to estimate physician pipeline training and recruitment needs (potential targeted programs) to meet future primary care physician demands based on population level burden. We look forward to growing these methods to include other healthcare providers! #Innovation #PopulationHealth #PublicHealth #WorkforceDevelopment #DataScience #OpenSource #APHA #IPEDS #AAMC #AACOMAS #NRMP #NPI #ACS #BRFSS #HealthWorkForce #Policy #Legislation #Recruitment #Retention

"That was fellow-level research, Destiny, congratulations!" Dr. Abigail M. Ramseyer, DO And that's a wrap! Over two years of research have led to this morning's opportunity to present at the Sparrow Health System's Grand Rounds! It was such an honour to be invited by Stephanie Fleming, Chair, Dept of Ob/Gyn Sparrow Hospital, following my presentation at the #HEALSexualHealthConference2024 at Michigan State University! My research on the overutilisation of emergency services is multifold; 1. Identifying patients seen in Michigan hospital systems (Urban, 100000+ populations) 2. Determine overutlisation status based on ICD-10 codes, provider discharge summary, and patient recommendations. Encourage survey participation. 3. Provide educational interventions (video, brochure, poster) and send out retake attempts to survey participants following a 30-day period. This research not only highlights significant levels of overutilisation in Michigan but also which education interventions and resources are most effective in developing informed decision-making from our patients, thus relieving the burden on our emergency staff and providers. Please do not hesitate to reach out for more information or feedback. Thank you for your support in my research journey; I look forward to continuing this research journey following my graduation from Michigan State University College of Natural Science! #healthcare #emergencymedicine #research #undergraduate #grandrounds

In 2023, the National Health Equity Grand Rounds series turned the traditional concept of “medical grand rounds” on its head. This series serves as a free, open-access platform through which diverse thought leaders – including world-renowned physicians, also emerging scholars, interprofessional leaders, students and activists – come together in conversation around today’s most critical health justice topics, building on ideas and strategies for individuals and institutions to reshape our healthcare system—and advance equity. You won’t want to miss out on the first National Health Equity Grand Rounds event of 2024, Advancing Health Equity Through Resistance: A State of the Union on Threats and Opportunities, on Thursday, May 30 starting at 3:30 PM CT. Join public health leaders, healthcare professionals, policy experts and community organizers as they delve into best practices for advancing health equity—discussing the coordinated efforts to dismantle this work in various parts of the country and identifying strategies to counter resistance while building a stronger multiracial democracy equipped to support health for every individual and community. Health care professionals may claim continuing medical education (#CME) credit or certificate of participation AT NO COST for attending. https://bit.ly/3Jpxlk4 The event is developed by American Medical Association, ACGME, National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education, and RespectAbility with support from ABIM Foundation, Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), American Society of Addiction Medicine - ASAM, AMA Ed Hub, Boston Medical Center (BMC), Council of Medical Specialty Societies, HealthBegins, Kaiser Permanente, Sinai Chicago, Social Mission Alliance, The Hastings Center, and Joint Commission.

New #ASPiH hosted Webinar “Race & Practice – Exploring the use of #simulation to promote discussions around racism in healthcare” Tuesday, 1st October at 3pm Over the last 2 years, the simulation team at Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust has been exploring the use of simulation in promoting awareness of the impact of structural and institutional racism on mental healthcare delivery. This work has been done at both an undergraduate and a continuing professional development level with both an interprofessional learning cohort and an interprofessional faculty. Our colleagues at Oxford Brookes University have helped to shape and develop the courses further and we are now evaluating their impact together. Given that huge health inequalities exist across all healthcare settings for those from black and minority ethnic backgrounds, we are beginning to generalise our work to other areas with the recognition that racism is enacted in various ways across healthcare. In this webinar, we will introduce attendees to our work, discuss the design and delivery considerations that arose, and discuss future implications for this type of work.

Once upon a time, pediatric health organizations were pioneers in engagement. Family + youth with lived experience were invited as speakers to conferences and professional development sessions. Now I see events with no representation from those with lived experience. Only academics + clinicians. What happened? Although my youngest is an adult now, I find this disheartening. I naively thought health care progress meant things were getting better, not worse. Since 2020, patient engagement has really stumbled. I wonder if this is because the COVID ‘command + control’ is in place in health organizations? Has the (worthy) fight against misinformation elevated the academic experts, but demoted those of us with anecdotal evidence? Lived experience wisdom is important. Stories still matter. If you don't include people with lived experience in your events, you are being regressive, not progressive. (I can recommend many awesome family speakers in the child health world...just ask me).
