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
