Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Posters
According to the American College of Cardiology (ACA 2019), approximately every 40 seconds an individual has a myocardial infarction (MI).
▪ While the ACA reports a decrease in death rate from cardiovascular disease by 18.6% (2006-2016) and a decrease in death rate from coronary artery disease by 31.8% (2006 – 2016); Heart disease remains the leading cause of death, affecting approximately 5.7 million American adults.
▪ A literature review was conducted through systematic reviews, metaanalyses, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and peer-reviewed medical journals, The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), and The Journal of the American College of Cardiology …
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy For The Treatment Of Traumatic Brain Injuries, Jordan A. Wiedmann
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy For The Treatment Of Traumatic Brain Injuries, Jordan A. Wiedmann
Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Posters
This research and systematic literature review evaluates the safety and efficacy of Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to improve treatment outcomes in traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). This review included the search of PubMed, Cochrane Review, Clinical Key, and DynaMed. The search included randomized control trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses published in the last 20 years.
• Several studies show evidence to support the use of HBOT in TBIs, however the majority of research suggests overall insufficient evidence on the topic. Several studies also address the concern for safety and side effects, as individuals are exposed to increased pressures for long lengths …

Improving Hpv Vaccination Rates, Emily Eichner
Improving Hpv Vaccination Rates, Emily Eichner
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
HPV is a very common infection and can cause multiple types of cancers. The HPV vaccination is effective at preventing these infections and subsequent cancers. The HPV vaccine is most effective when given to adolescents; however, the vaccination rates for girls and especially boys remain low. Many reasons exist for parent's choice not to have their kids' vaccinated against HPV. Identifying and addressing these barriers through educational materials for parents will hopefully help improve HPV vaccination rates and reduce rates of these preventable cancers.
Reducing No Show Rate In The Primary Care Setting, Heng Tan
Reducing No Show Rate In The Primary Care Setting, Heng Tan
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Healthcare systems consumed 17.7 % of the U.S. GDP. Efficiently using clinical resources is critical. No-show appointments decrease the provider’s productivity, increases healthcare costs, and limits the health clinic’s effective capacity. Address patients with history of no show with targeted questionnaire and provide corresponding support can not only decrease the rate and improve the efficiency of health care but also decrease unnecessary emergency and urgent care visits

The "Best Snacks Ever" Series, Catherine M. Westbom
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Vermont rates of obesity jump from 15.1% 10-17 year-old children to 27.5% in adults. In addition, studies show that keeping weight off is incredibly difficult with low success rates. Of the many factors that contribute to obesity, nutrition is among those that can be altered with great results. Taken in combination, this information speaks to the great change that can be made in targeting healthy eating habits in the youth population prior to the jump in obesity rates. This project aims to provide education to the child population in Montpelier, Vermont through the local Step 2 after-school program. A class …
Identifying Food Insecurity In A Rural Vermont Primary Care Setting, Jessica Lyon
Identifying Food Insecurity In A Rural Vermont Primary Care Setting, Jessica Lyon
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Recent years have shown an emergence of interest in social determinants of health by healthcare providers, community leaders, and social service organizations alike. Among the social determinants of health, food insecurity has been associated with higher incidences of chronic disease and poor health outcomes as compared to rates among individuals not screening positive for food insecurity. This project aims to compare the effectiveness of screening patients for food insecurity via formal paper questionnaires versus the traditional approach of an open patient-provider dialog guided by provider intuition in identifying food insecure individuals in a primary care setting.

The Green House Project: Accessible, Empowering And Sustainable Communities For The Elderly, Jessica Sikka
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Many members of our geriatric community face challenges in attending appointments with their healthcare providers. The many barriers to healthcare that these patients face can range from financial to physical ones. Home health visits have become an invaluable resource for these patients. However, home healthcare is an expensive resource that many patients cannot afford. The Green House Project aims to empower elders and patients with barriers to healthcare, who thrive in the home health setting, by building communities where patients are treated with equality and mutual respect regardless of economic status.

Coping Skills For Daily Life: Cost-Effective Strategies To Prevent And Address Mental Health Disorders, Shae Ian Rowlandson
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Mental health disorders, along with their associated cost and negative outcomes, have continued to persist in Vermont and have become one of the largest, growing challenges to public health in the United States. Unfortunately, Vermont does not appear to have enough resources or providers to optimally address it. Concurrently, coping strategies of minimal cost that have the potential to prevent or address mental health disorders may often be underutilized or misconstrued by the population. A pamphlet providing information on evidenced, cost-effective coping strategies was designed and distributed to providers and patients to enable patients with the skills to help themselves …

Vaping: What Are The Risks?, Matthew Eric Lebow
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
In recent years there has been a precipitous rise in the number of individuals using e-cigarettes or vaping devices. According to the Vermont Department of Health, in 2016, there were 22,000 adults who used e-cigarettes. However, even more, concerning was that there were approximately 3,000 high school Vermonters who used electronic vaping products. The dangers around vaping products are multifactorial, including the lack of perception of harm by youth, the risk of nicotine addiction, ease of access, and the potential harms including chemicals, contaminants, and metals.
Even more concerning has been the rise of E-Cigarette and Vaping Produce Use- Associated …

Barriers To Exercise: Patients With Diabetes In Washington County, Joshua Bruce Taylor
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
According to the Vermont Department of Health physical inactivity is one of the three main behaviors that predisposes patients to cancer, heart disease/stroke, lung disease, and type 2 diabetes, which result in over 50 percent of deaths among Vermonters. Washington County has a higher rate of overweight adults than the statewide average, making exercise an important component to healthier living. Barriers to exercise, especially among patients with diabetes, impose serious health ramifications for the residents of Washington County, and avenues must be made available to circumvent these barriers.
Integrating Oral Health In Primary Care To Reduce Early Childhood Caries (Ecc): Evidence-Based Guidelines And Recommendations, Alyssa Heiser
Integrating Oral Health In Primary Care To Reduce Early Childhood Caries (Ecc): Evidence-Based Guidelines And Recommendations, Alyssa Heiser
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Early childhood caries (ECC) is the most common chronic disease affecting children, despite being almost 100% preventable. ECC has become associated with a multi-factorial etiology including poor feeding practices, enamel hypoplasia, oral colonization by cariogenic bacteria, and demineralized tooth structure due to metabolism of sugars by tooth-adherent bacteria. ECC can lead to school absences, poor school performance, difficulty sleeping, attention problems, slower social development, and poor overall health. According to U.S. Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) guidelines, all children are at potential risk for developing ECC beginning at the time of first tooth eruption. While there are no validated multivariate …
