Comprehensive Pain Management In Pediatric Patients: Evaluating Pharmacological And Non-Pharmacological Therapies, Danielle Willis
2025 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations
Within the hospital setting it is seen how chronic pain affects people of all ages. At hospital A, adult clients rate their chronic pain on a scale of 0-10, voice aggravating and alleviating factors and medications are provided based upon that scale. Unfortunately, pain in the pediatric setting is not as easy to assess and treat. Chronic pain substantially affects a number of children and adolescents and can lead to a diminished quality of life. Addressing this challenge requires a holistic approach that combines pharmacological treatments with non-pharmacological treatments to alleviate pain and enhance daily living.

The Connection Between Poverty, Social Empathy, And Experiential Learning, Juniper Taulbee, Rebecca Davison
The Connection Between Poverty, Social Empathy, And Experiential Learning, Juniper Taulbee, Rebecca Davison
2025 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations
In the original research of Dr. Davison, she explored the question of how experiential learning influences the social empathy levels and educational practice of public-school educators. While the research showed an increase in social empathy, it also showed interesting trends that were not accounted for in the original hypothesis, such as a decrease in social empathy scoring for male participants and differences in scoring based on lived experience with poverty. Our purpose now is to analyze these differences in empathy scoring and theorize what it may imply about life circumstances, empathy, and the limits of learning.
