Medical Student Research Symposium
Background:
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted healthcare delivery in high density urban communities. This clinic provides free medical care to patients in an urban Midwestern community including limited prescriptions, vaccines, and over-the-counter medications. This study aims to understand how the patient demographics and medical services offered at the clinic have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods:
Walk-in student-run clinics were held weekly on Saturday mornings in an urban Midwestern city, with patients consisting of underinsured and uninsured residents experiencing housing instability. Number of returning and new patients, physicals, flu shots, blood glucose readings, HbA1c, lipid panels, and …

Medical Student Research Symposium
Introduction:
In the United States, healthcare costs have consistently ranked the highest among developed countries, leading to an urgent push towards decreasing spending. This study compared the cost of robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) performed in a hospital outpatient department (HOPD) to an Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC).
Methods and Materials:
Costs were determined using Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing (TDABC) methodology. All steps of a patient care pathway for robotic TKA performed in ASC and HOPD were organized into one process map. All personnel involved in patient care were included and the average time each allocated to patients was multiplied by their …
