Meeting with Dr. Wells 7/3/15

We met with Dr. Wells today to discuss how our research is progressing and what we can do to get the most out of this project from an academic standpoint. Dr. Wells has been awesome at encouraging us to make the most of this experience. She obviously wants us to be in line with the overarching goals of the Global Health at Home project, but she also wants us as students to make this a valuable learning experience. Here's some of the things we talked about:

• GSP funding: small amount available to help with publication fees and poster printing
• Other funding: for our project this fall - CGH? Emergency department through Dr. Burt?
• This will be important if we want to travel to do site interviews
• Publishing: Dr. Wells will help with the editing, formatting, and submission processes
• Make a list of journals, we can start by looking at journals we cite frequently
• M&S goal: Methodology and Results by Aug 3, everything else by Aug 31
• What to expect: initial review to see if it's right for the publication, then formal review and either accepted, accepted with revisions, or denied
• Student research: Dr. Wells had a great idea that we should try to share our research methods, especially on topics like medical students working together and with undergraduate students
• Forums to share this: Med-Ed poster presentation every year (will look up date), also Vitals magazine, maybe some others? 
• Maybe present to the GSP students in the spring
• This can also be written up and published, but not sure where?

Next Steps:

- Meet with Dr. Keeley

- Meet with Dr. Burt and Dr. Luna

- Write up 1 page summary of new project background research (tentatively Aug 31)

- Write up Methodology/Results by Aug 3

Scheduling notes:

- Melissa on PICU ACE in July

- Steven on Family Medicine ACE in Aug

Literature Review Support from UVA Health Sciences Library

Today we met with Ms. Karen Knight, our wonderful librarian who shared many insights with us on searching the available literature. We are doing a literature search relating to CHW curriculum development and general implementation of programming.

• Today we reviewed the use of OVID and MeSH terms to make sure that we have been performing an adequate search of the literature.
• Karen also shared a website for us called Web of Science. During our review of literature, if we a few articles that we particularly like, we can type in the information to this site. Once we find these articles in this database, we will be able to see any other papers that have cited it. This will help us dig deeper and potentially find other articles. Web of Science can also be used for general search.
• Karen also walked us through the use of RefWorks. This website allows us to easily document and record the sources that we review. We can use this program to easily create a bibliography. It will also be very helpful when we are typing any write-up or paper as we can use this program with Microsoft Word to easily cite sources.
• Other items that we discussed include the use of interlibrary loan, single cite matcher included with pubmed, and HubMed (which allows us to easily upload previously search sources onto RefWorks).

This meeting will be invaluable as we move forward with further review of the literature regarding CHWs. We will continue our literature review for the next few weeks and plan to summarize what we find in brief write-ups.
