At the Clinical & Translational Research Unit, our faculty, staff and students do more than treat patients. Our research activities are helping to forge new ties with the general public, the scientific community, health care professionals and the biomedical and pharmaceutical industries. Our vision is to be nationally recognized as one of the leading clinical trial facilities associated with a medical school. #CareLeadsHere #OUHCOM #OhioUniversity #CTRU #clinical #translational #research #pharmaceutical #biomedical (photographs by @facun)
“Coming to medical school, I’ve seen how important the doctor-patient connection is for the outcome of the patient. As one of the Inclusion Scholars for Cleveland, I chose to do a literature review for LGBTQ health disparities, and to focus on the best practices for caring for that community. From that I’m hoping to take what I find and actually see what we need to implement to make the difference, instead of just studying the difference. Knowing that you have a doctor or staff network that is working for you, no matter what, means a world of difference for anybody that is transgender or gender non-binary, gay, lesbian, bi, everything. Because a lot of times, one person’s experience in the LGBTQ community is completely different than another one’s. So that’s why I think it’s imperative that I’m asking the right questions, and asking them properly. You want to be mindful of every aspect of what your patients are walking into.” Cameron Swofford, OMS-II, Class of 2021 #HumansofOUHCOM #careleadshere #ouhcom #ohiouniversity #medstudent #lgbtq (photograph by @marlenasloss)
This past week, through the Cleveland Clinic Physician Diversity Scholars Program we paired 25 scholars with 19 mentors. Thanks to the support from the Cleveland Clinic, we were able to offer one-time $7,500.00 scholarships to ten different students in our program. The Cleveland Clinic Physician Diversity Scholars Program represents the strong commitment of both organizations to embrace and encourage diversity among the providers caring for the diverse population of our communities, while also ensuring they are providing care of the highest quality. #careleadshere #ouhcom #ohiouniversity #medstudent #MinorityHealthMonth #HealthEquity #NMHM1 #ClevelandClinic #diversity #ouhcom (photographs @facun)
Students enjoyed the sunshine and spring blossoms in the late 1970s. See how much the trees outside of Irvine Hall have grown! #throwbackthursday #tbt (photograph @ouhcom)
When large disaster events occur in a community, a surge of patients can show up in area emergency rooms, challenging health care providers to make fast decisions in a chaotic environment. During a recent exercise “Disaster Day,” our students practiced triaging the worst injured, decontaminating patients exposed to chemicals, and performing emergency lifesaving techniques. Our medical students had the opportunity to experience firsthand what it’s like to experience a mass casualty situation when the Emergency Medicine Club at the Heritage College, Dublin, hosted its third annual Disaster Day this past weekend. #careleadshere#ohiouniversity #ouhcom#emergencymedicine #dublinohio#osteopathic #medschool #medstudent (photographs @andyspear)
