Changes in OBGYN Resident Surgical Skills and Confidence After implementation of a Pre-Urogynecology Rotation Bootcamp

The aim of this project is to assess the procedural skills of residents before and after implementation of a Urogynecology Resident Bootcamp prior to the start of their Urogynecology rotation. This bootcamp will include surgical simulations with a focus on vaginal hysterectomies. The bootcamp will also include assembly of a cystoscope and a video demonstrating cystoscopy during a urogynecologic surgery. As is currently routine in our program, residents will receive feedback using a formative feedback system called myTIPreport after they perform surgeries during the rotation. We hypothesize that this bootcamp will improve residents' feedback on performing a hysterectomy when compared to residents' feedback prior to implementation of this curriculum using myTIPreport. We will also evaluate if there is a change with overall resident satisfaction with the Urogynecology rotation and comfort level with performing vaginal hysterectomies in independent practice.

Exercise and Heart Response Study

We are doing this study to learn if exercise impacts the effect of social tasks on energy use and heart function. Since exercise may impact metabolic factors such as energy use as well as the impact of social situations on cardiovascular disease, we want to see how exercise impacts the effect of social situations on energy and metabolism, and whether this may affect your heart health.

Blood Clotting Risk in Blood Cancer Study

Want to help improve the treatment of people with chronic blood cancers? We are looking for healthy volunteers to take part in a simple blood-draw study. If you are generally healthy and are not taking blood thinners, you may be able to help improve treatment for patients with chronic blood cancers by donating a tablespoon of blood. This study aims to understand why individuals with chronic blood cancers have a high risk of blood clots as compared to healthy individuals, by comparing (1) the ability of blood to clot in a test tube and (2) changes in white blood cells that make them more likely to stick to blood vessels between healthy individuals and individuals with chronic blood cancers.

Pediatric ACL Walking, Jumping, and Cutting

Many young athletes who tear their ACL have trouble getting back to sport or suffer a second ACL injury once they do. We aim to improve athletes' ability to get back to sport safely. We want to make the activities athletes perform in rehabilitation more closely match the demands of what they do once they return to their sport. We also aim to develop low-cost ways to measure how the knee is moving during those activities. *This study is a collaboration with the UNC Sports Medicine Institute*
