Improving the transition from PGY-1 to PGY-2

The transition from functioning as an intern in the first year of residency to leading inpatient teams in the second year of residency and beyond is a challenging one for internal medicine trainees. We seek to understand how best to help our trainees navigate this transition by conducting a needs assessment of current internal medicine residents in small focus groups. Through these meetings we will collect and aggregate the experiences of residents who have made this transition, and use their feedback, challenges, and suggested areas for growth to build a curriculum designed to empower trainees to make this transition with confidence. We aim to publish our findings to assist other training programs in addressing this same issue, however our primary goal is to use our findings internally to improve our resident experience as well as patient care.

"Does the way that information is presented to people affect how they learn about genetics and if they want to be in research studies?"

We are recruiting 216 people at events in the community to look at different types of educational materials about genomics. We will survey them before and after to see if and how their knowledge and willingness to participate in research was affected. Then, we will ask 30 of those people to participate in a 45-60 minute interview over Zoom. This will help us to gather more information about their preferences and attitudes toward genomic research. We will be recruiting from a diverse group of people and offering materials in both English and Spanish. The purpose of this is to improve health literacy and willingness of participate in genomic research in order to improve health equity.

MAGIC: More Access to Group Integrative Care for Patients with Chronic Pain

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility implementing Integrative Medical Group Visits (IMGVs) for patients with chronic pain in Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). IMGVs are an innovative way of delivering care for patients with chronic pain, combining medical care, group support, health education, and experiential activities such as mindfulness, chair yoga, and self-massage. IMGVs have been studied before and found to be helpful for patients. In this study, we are evaluating how to implement IMGVs into community health centers that receive funding from the federal government to provide care to patients regardless of ability to pay---called FQHCs. We will look at outcomes related to effectiveness of IMGVs to address chronic pain, as well as cost to the patients and clinic, acceptability and feasibility of delivering the program, and sustainability of keeping IMGVs going at the clinic over time.
