University of South Florida Class of 2023 Morsani College of Medicine Scholarly Concentrations Program



SCHOLARLY CONCENTRATIONS PROGRAM The Morsani College of Medicine has much to be proud of regarding the accomplishments of the Scholarly Concentrations Program (SCP) students during this academic year. The SCP, supported by the Department of Medical Education and the Office of Research, Innovation & Scholarly Endeavors (RISE), provided resources, leadership, and academic structure for medical students pursuing novel scholarly work. Students had opportunities to get involved in biomedical research, including focused study in nutrition, medicine, and gender. Students also studied medicine from an international and public health perspective, including in-depth approaches to help the medically underserved, addressing critical issues of health disparities. Some students pursued an understanding of a systems approach to medicine, focusing on health systems engineering as well as business and innovation, while other students pursued robust scholarly work in medical education, law, and medical humanities. The specific curriculum and projects developed by each concentration as well as the over-arching curriculum offered by RISE, empowered students to excel in their academic pursuits. This excellence was manifested by productive interactions with faculty resulting in abstracts, posters, talks, and publications. The SCP is excited to have recently begun partnering with the Taneja College of Pharmacy to foster interprofessional education efforts. The first cohort of participating students is listed in this capstone book. Thanks to the vision of Dr. Amy Schwartz, former Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, Taneja College of Pharmacy for this unique partnership and to the TCOP faculty, and staff who have supported both the TCOP and MCOM students in this collaboration. We realize that students have shared their academic careers with us while balancing the traditional education experiences of medical school. We hope that this program has broadened our students’ horizons such that they have a greater understanding of, and are sensitive to, the medical journeys of their patients. We are proud of what these students have accomplished, and we look forward to our students incorporating their enthusiasm and skills for scholarship into their medical careers moving forward. We would like to take this opportunity to thank students and faculty for their hard work and their commitment to scholarship. The leaders, mentors, and support teams are commended for their creativity and diligence. The SCP continues to benefit from the leadership and guidance of Bryan Bognar, MD, MPH, Chair of the Dept. of Medical Education and Vice Dean for Educational Affairs. We want to express our appreciation for his critical insights regarding medical education and his tireless support for this program. Deborah DeWaay, MD, Associate Dean of Medical Education also deserves a sincere thank you for her constant support of the SCP and for her insights into its continued development. Importantly, we are genuinely fortunate to benefit from the vision and leadership of Charles (Charly) J. Lockwood, MD, MHCM, Senior Vice President, Dean, USF Health Morsani College of Medicine. Since his arrival in May 2014, he has inspired our faculty and students to follow their passion for scholarship and excellence. We would like to express our sincerest gratitude to Dean Lockwood for his support and commitment to the SCP program. The program can sustain its continual success because it is supported by the superb staff members of the RISE office – Ms. Roberta Collins, Director, Ms. Erin May, and Mr. Sean Gill, Academic Services Administrators as well as Rahul Mhaskar, MD, MPH, PhD, Assistant Dean for Student Research. We owe much to their help and dedication, which we would like to acknowledge here today by saying a sincere thank you. We are indebted to all these individuals, and they inspire us to move forward.

We were discussing our frustration with the snail’s pace at which change happens with the top-down approach in reference to Gun Violence and Gun Violence Prevention Programs. We began wondering if a grassroots approach would be better and conducted a literature review. What stood out the most over the course this project, was how poor the evidence for any gun violence prevention is and how convoluted the course has been regarding gun violence laws. Our findings were that the idea of a standardized approach may not be feasible but rather may need to be adjusted to the needs of it’s specific community. 24

MATCH Alexandra Givner, MD LNoemuaroLliongdya Univ CAPSTONE Experiences of Sexism Among Medical Students MENTOR Vanessa J. Hux, MD Dept. of Obstetrics & Gynecology CONCENTRATION Medicine & Gender This project not only taught me the basics of conducting survey-based research, but also gave me the immense privilege in researching an area that I feel strongly about: women in medicine. While so much has been accomplished in putting women into positions of authority, it is unclear how members of staff and patients treat their female-presenting physicians at their clinical sites. Utilizing the new EASI-20 scale allows our students to report their experiences anonymously but accurately, and I hope we can use this data to inform how we approach training in the clinical setting. 32
