The Importance Of Continued Compliance With Completing Advance Directives In An Outpatient Setting, Maegan R. Neilson
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Despite continued efforts with conversation, guidelines, and even law, studies still show that the compliance with completing advance directives amongst a global patient population remains around 3 in 100. Those in compliance are more often chronically ill, over 65, or in an acute or terminal care setting. The COVID-19 pandemic is evidence that anything can happen and that helping patients adhere to medical wishes should be a top priority for primary care providers and their patients of all ages and health.

COVID-19 vaccination, especially, in children has been a point of both political and scientific contention since its inception.

Community Health Interventions To Reduce The Burden Of Radon-Related Lung Cancer, Benjamin Weaver
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Exposure to radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. One in seven homes in Vermont has elevated levels of radon, but most patients are unaware of radon as a risk factor for lung cancer or that radon testing and mitigation services are available to them. To promote increased testing and mitigation of radon we screened patients presenting to a Family Medicine practice in Vermont about whether they had had these services done in their home. We also developed a patient education resource for providers to give to patients who had more questions about radon …
