I will be conducting research through an internship under the mentorship of Dr. Timothy Pritts, MD/PhD in the Department of Surgery at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine.

I am a first year medical student and a National Health ServiceCorps Scholar committed to serving as a primary care physician in an underserved area. I will be interning at the Ohio Department of Medicaid this summer. I believe this experience will help me develop an understanding of the policy work that dictates contracts with Medicaid managed care organizations.

I will be interning and doing research with University Hospital in Cleveland. My work will be examining socioeconomic factors involved in preterm birth within Cuyahoga County. I hope that the results of this research will provide evidence for advocacy efforts to improve maternal and child health.
