Differences In Accessibility To Program Directors Indicates A Potential Greater Burden Upon Female Program Directors, Tram Ngo, Kaylin Beiter, Erich Conrad, Erika Rajo
Medical Student Research Poster Symposium
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent limitations on in-person interviews and away rotations have necessitated residency program directors and prospective applicants alike to rely disproportionately upon electronic means of communication relative to years past. Program directors (PDs) play a key role in providing information about their program to applicants, however it is unknown how accessible PDs are to prospective applicants. The objective of this study was to explore differences in accessibility to PDs via their use of individual, general (programmatic), or administrative-assistant email addresses in the FREIDA database. Methods: The FRIEDA database was queried for all US-based internal medicine programs. …

Perceived Effects Of Electronics Use, Alison Schafer, Claire Franklin, Cody Roi
Medical Student Research Poster Symposium
Electronics use has become a prevalent part of everyday life. Electronics may include smartphones, tablets, videogaming devices, television, streaming media, and computers. Electronics use has been associated with both positive and negative effects on wellness. Potential benefits include social support and connection, while negative effects may include depression, obesity, and sleep problems. Although recently there has been increased interest in the wellness effects of electronics use, there is a lack of research in this area focusing on psychiatric patients. In this cross-sectional study, we surveyed 85 patients of an outpatient behavioral health clinic ages 13-75 regarding trends in their electronics …

Switching To Intranasal Esketamine Maintains The Antidepressant Response Tointravenous Racemic Ketamine Administration: A Case Series Of 10 Patients, Michael D. Banov, Rachel E. Landrum, Michelle B. Moore, Steven T. Szabo
Medical Student Research Poster Symposium
Purpose This retrospective case series aims to assess the efficacy and safety of intranasal esketamine as maintenance antidepressant therapy in patients who have demonstrated clinical improvement with off-label intravenous racemic ketamine for treatment-resistant depression. Methods Included in this study are ten consecutive outpatients with treatment-resistant depression who all had a clinically meaningful response when treated with intravenous racemic ketamine and were then switched to intranasal esketamine for maintenance therapy. Patient outcomes were assessed with the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale, Patient-Health Questionnaire- 9, and Clinical Global Impression of Improvement scale at each visit. Adverse effects were assessed at each treatment. Findings …

Disaster Narratives And Embodied Cognition – A Qualitative Analysis Of‘Voices In The Storm’-Interviews, Cassidy M. Woolie, Ronja R. Bodola
Medical Student Research Poster Symposium
This project analyzes oral narratives of disaster-related experiences with qualitative measures to identify links between embodied trauma, embodied cognition and narrative expression. Looking at the way the experiences are recounted allows us to hypothesize about how the embodied trauma correlates with psycholinguistic metrics. We reviewed established linguistic approaches such as the LIWC, neuroscientific approaches to trauma studies as well as approaches in cognitive narratology and cognitive studies. This project integrates all the above into a working model of narrated embodied trauma that was tested with post-Katrina disaster narratives taken from the oral history collection Louisiana and Lower Mississippi Valley Collections. …
