Assessing Patient Perceptions Of Pre-Visit Methods To Reduce Wait Time And Provider Burden, Vinh H. Le
Assessing Patient Perceptions Of Pre-Visit Methods To Reduce Wait Time And Provider Burden, Vinh H. Le
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Due to multiple factors, patients at ambulatory settings tend to experience long appointment wait times, negatively impacting patient satisfaction and overall well-being. One proposed solution is to use pre-visit data collection to simplify check-in and screening processes at the office. This project surveyed patients at Brookfield Primary Care & Pediatrics regarding quantitative wait time data and qualitative perceptions on the proposed solution. It was found that a majority of patients are open to using pre-visit online forms to reduce wait times.

Implementation Of The Primary Care Mental Health Integration (Pcmhi) Model: Information For Patients, Amy Stedman
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
UVMMC Primary Care is transitioning to the Primary Care Mental Health Integration (PCMHI) model of care, in which behavioral health and/or psychiatric treatment is provided within a primary care setting via in-house consulting clinicians. There are currently no standardized informational materials to educate patients on the details of the PCMHI program, which is a new treatment model for most patients and clinicians involved. Development of educational materials, as well as broader public health implications of the PCMHI model of care, are addressed.

Herbs And Natural Supplements For Treatment Of Anxiety, Agatha Forstein
Herbs And Natural Supplements For Treatment Of Anxiety, Agatha Forstein
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
In the primary care setting, patients frequently bring in a list of various supplements or herbs that they are taking for a variety of medical conditions, including anxiety, with the hope to engage in a conversation with their PCP about whether these various supplements are safe and worth the cost. Physicians are often limited by a lack of training on the topic and/or by time constraints in the clinic. Thus, this aspect of care is not well addressed. This project includes the creation of a patient education sheet containing information about common herbal/natural supplements used for anxiety. It highlights the …

Resource Guide For Autism Spectrum Disorders, Jennifer Risi
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Children with autism spectrum disorder and their families have numerous needs for health and social support. The system through which they receive this support is complex and foreign to many parents. Interactions with patients and their families have made it clear that many of them do not know what resources are available to them or how to access these resources. Furthermore, healthcare provides frequently do not have the time to educate patients fully during visits. To address this, we created an educational pamphlet that acts as a resource guide for families with various unmet needs which can be handed out …

Screening For Disordered Eating Among High-Risk Groups, Julia B. Purks
Screening For Disordered Eating Among High-Risk Groups, Julia B. Purks
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Many patients with disordered eating will not present with objective manifestations such as low BMI, physical exam findings, or electrolyte abnormalities. Among patients that meet DSM-V criteria for an eating disorder, the majority do not fit criteria for anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa, but instead fall into a category known as "Otherwise specified feeding and eating disorders." As such, it can be difficult to identify these patients. This project proposes adding 2 validated screening questions to outpatient intake forms, or incorporating them into patient visits, to identify disordered eating among high-risk groups.
Addressing Rational Barriers To Lifestyle And Behavioral Modification, Ahmed Eldakroury
Addressing Rational Barriers To Lifestyle And Behavioral Modification, Ahmed Eldakroury
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Rational barriers contribute to resistance towards initiating, restarting or maintaining lifestyle/behavioral modification. Such barriers include lack of confidence in the proposed intervention(s), exaggerated perspectives, unsubstantiated beliefs and feelings of futility/hopelessness in the setting of past failures or relapse. Lifestyle and behavioral modification are core elements of preventative health and mental health—identifying and addressing erroneous thought processes, perspectives or beliefs that contribute to hesitancy may empower patients to trust the process and put an honest effort towards making those changes. Thus, a motivational pamphlet was created for patients with the goal of addressing hesitancy/resistance towards initiating or maintaining lifestyle/behavioral modification. The …

First Contact: Headache Management In Primary Care, Sydney Chatfield
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Primary headaches are one of the most common and debilitating disorders experienced worldwide. Many people are unaware of the everyday triggers and continue to take over the counter medication with little to no relief. Primary care providers are often the first or only people patients will address the issue with, but are faced with time constraints and lack of resources. I created an educational pamphlet on common triggers and solutions for patients to begin to think about root causes of their headaches and implement lifestyle changes.

Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
COVID-19 continues to be a significant health threat and has caused significant disease and mortality in the fall 2021 wave largely driven by the Delta Variant and complicated by unvaccinated patients. In the state of NY, approximately 40 patients died per day (7 day moving average) from serious COVID-19 illness during this time period. During this time, approximately 35% of Clinton County’s population is not vaccinated for COVID-19 and is subsequently unprotected from serious COVID-19 illness. This work discusses reasons for non-vaccination and strategies to combat vaccine hesitancy. Additionally, it includes a pamphlet for local distribution as well as a …

Skin Cancer, Skin Biopsies And Mohs Surgery: Patient Education, Negar Esfandiari
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States. There are three main types of skin cancer: Basal Cell Carcinoma, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, and Melanoma. While Melanoma is less common than Basal Cell and Squamous Cell Carcinoma, it has a higher mortality rate. If diagnosed in earlier stages, Melanoma has a significantly better prognosis and lower patient costs. Most skin cancers are diagnosed through skin biopsies. Vermont has one of the highest rates of skin cancer. The goal of this project was to develop a patient handout to bring patient awareness to skin cancer and describe the different …

According to the 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, LGBT middle and high school students are twice as likely to be bullied and are five times more likely to attempt suicide.
Coping with a stressful environment at school puts LGBT youth at risk of detriment to mental health, educational inequities, and even physical harm.
Adults at school who have relationships with youth are in a position of power to uplift and advocate for LGBT youth, and to educate those around them to create a safe environment for everyone to learn.
While teachers and other staff may offer students support, they may …

Pediatric Screenings At Wellness Visits, Amberly Lao
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Primary and secondary prevention are at the core of primary care and especially emphasized during pediatric wellness visits. The physicians of Newtown Primary Care reviewed preventative screening with parents and children, and often times, the patients with the most efficient visits had updated preventative screenings. Our purpose was to provide basic information about screening procedures that were relevant to the child that would potentially streamline the visit and reduce the patient's anxiety about the procedures that needed to be completed that day. We aimed to help educate patients about preventive health measures.
