BIPOC Well-being Initiative

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the impact of the Well-Being Initiative for Woman Faculty of Color (the "Program") on overall well-being, career advancement and professional success. The Program is designed for early and mid-career Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) women faculty at U.S. Schools of Pharmacy and Departments of Pharmacology at research-intensive institutions. The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, in collaboration with Houston Wellness Workshops for Women (H3W), has developed this two-year program to support the well-being and professional advancement of BIPOC women faculty in pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences research. Participants in the study will take voluntary surveys during the Program to evaluate three factors: well-being, burnout, and self-efficacy in their professional academic roles before and after completing the Program.

Characterizing Multi-omic Postoperative Crohn's Disease (ChaMP)

The study is designed to look at Crohn's disease over a period time, from before a surgery to 12 months after the surgery has taken place. The role bacteria in the gut plays in Crohn's disease (CD) is not well understood. Which particular microbes contribute to disease remain unknown. In CD, ~70% of patients will end up requiring surgery due to chronic unrelenting complications, and ~50% require additional surgery. We hope to identify key microbes at the time of surgery in stool and tissue and correlate it over time with data collected at timepoints after surgery. We will use this data with clinical information to determine if specific microbes are associated with disease recurrence.

Mentoring in Medicine Longitudinal Study

The United States is facing a worsening physician shortage that particularly affects people living in rural or underserved communities. One strategy used to address this problem is clinical exposure programs for students in high school, college, and/or medical school. Research currently suggests that these programs could influence participants' interest in medicine, specialty choice, and practice location preferences. Mentoring in Medicine is a summer clinical exposure program that targets college students in the Johnstown area of Pennsylvania. This region of the state is socioeconomically disadvantaged and medically underserved. No formal follow-up has been conducted on the participants since the program began in 2004. We plan on surveying these past participants to examine their academic and career interests and outcomes. We will also use physician databases to determine career outcomes. This data will help contribute to the body of evidence regarding educational interventions to improve medical shortages in the United States.
