Current Projects

Medication Adherence

This project seeks to understand the factors contributing to medication non-adherence within the GW Healing Clinic patient population. By surveying patients with chronic conditions requiring daily medications, we aim to understand how factors such as education about their disease/medications, comorbid conditions, and communication with providers affect their medication adherence.

 

Telehealth Access Survey

This survey aims to identify barriers to care using telehealth and Zoom. The findings have been presented at the American Public Health Association (APHA) and SRFC meetings, providing valuable insights into improving telehealth accessibility.

 

Transportation Accessibility Survey

The goal of this survey is to understand transportation availability issues within the B2C community. By determining how patients get to essential locations such as grocery stores, medical appointments, and social visits, we can address transportation barriers and improve accessibility for our patients.

 

Medical Student Attitudes Toward Clinic

This project assesses medical students' attitudes at GW about the healing clinic through a survey. By understanding their sentiments and identifying areas where the clinics are performing well and where improvements are needed, we aim to enhance the educational and clinical experience for medical students.

 

Gender-Based Violence Screening

This project aims to validate common screening tools for gender-based violence in clinics and provide resources. The goal is to provide a screening tool to randomized patients at check-in, ensuring effective identification and support for those affected by gender-based violence.

 

Society For Student Run Free Clinic (SRFC) Preventative Services

This project focuses on creating a comprehensive database of all screening services offered at student-run free clinics across the United States. These screening services are aligned with the recommendations of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. By compiling and analyzing this data, we aim to enhance the accessibility and effectiveness of preventive healthcare services provided by student-run free clinics.

 

Usage of Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Using Smartphone-Based Fundus Photography and Deep-Learning AI in Rural (Remote Area Medical) and Urban Communities (George Washington University Free Clinic)

The objective of this study is to explore the effectiveness of diabetic retinopathy screening using smartphone-based fundus photography and artificial intelligence in remote and underserved areas. This innovative approach aims to improve early detection and management of diabetic retinopathy in both rural and urban settings.

 

Dermatology Complaints

This project involves looking through GW Healing Clinic data to collect information on the most common dermatology complaints in this underserved population. By analyzing these complaints, we aim to better understand dermatological healthcare needs.
