Experience

Public Health Intern Minnesota Oral Health Project July 2016-Present

Working with Amos Deinard, MD, MPH, I worked to improve oral-health outcomes for children and expecting mothers by utilizing increased medical and dental integration, specifically by coordination of medical and dental care within primary care settings. I worked to enhance the education of caregivers on prevention of dental caries.

RESIDENT PHYSICIAN UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA JULY 2014 TO MAY 2015

Performed intern duties, rotated through inpatient medicine, ICU, outpatient clinic, palliative care and more. I worked closely with other colleagues and attendings to provide the best medical care to our patients.

RESEARCH ASSISTANT UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO JUNE 2006 TO MAY 2008

During my participation in the department of neurosurgery, I worked on a transgenic arteriovenous fistula model and investigated occlusive arteriopathy in brain arteriovenous malformations after radiosurgery. My responsibilities included performing surgical procedures, immunohistochemistry, scientific presentations and assisting in medical writing.

Research Assistant University of Wisconsin, Madison June 2011 to August 2011

In this study, we tested the synergistic effect of using predegenerated peripheral nerve grafts as scaffolds for axonal growth, while delivering ChABC OPF tubes to promote functional recovery after complete spinal cord injury in rats. My responsibilities included performing surgical procedures, assessing spinal cord status of rats and using immunohistochemistry and microscopy to analyze spinal cords.

HEALTH EDUCATOR COMMUNITY HEALTH CLINIC OLE JUNE 2004-AUGUST 2004

The clinic is the only not-for-profit health center in Napa County, providing affordable medical, dental care and health education to the county's low-income and uninsured residents. I participated in setting-up various health fairs at different migrant camps in the valley to provide farm workers with free health screenings and health education on various medical topics in Spanish.

PUBLIC HEALTH EDUCATOR SAN FRANCISCO DEPT. OF HEALTH JUNE 2005-AUG. 2005

This project was established in order to better understand the health risks that day laborers face at work. I was responsible for conducting surveys in Spanish by asking health-related questions to track work-related health risks and injuries that day laborers face. In addition, I was responsible for referring individuals to local health agencies where laborers could obtain free or reduced-cost medical attention and be connected to other community resources.

Peripheral Nerve Grafts and Chondroitinase ABC application improves functional recovery after complete spinal cord transection.

Peripheral nerve grafts (PNGs) in the spinal cord support axonal regeneration and functional recovery. Chondroitinase ABC (ChABC) has been used to break down chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) that inhibit axonal regeneration. If ChABC is effectively delivered to the injury site, CSPGs can be broken down so axons can pass through the distal interface between the graft and the spinal cord before CSPG accumulation has an adverse impact on recovery.

RESULTS: Our results show that: 1) PNGs anatomically incorporated into the spinal cord after a complete transection, 2) thousands of axons regenerated into the PNGs, 3) cholera toxin-B labeled axons crossed through the graft, and 4) the combination of PNGs and ChABC restored significantly better locomotor function than controls.

CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that PNGs can establish a good anatomical bridge after SCI and set the stage for functional recovery. http://www.neurores.org/index.php/neurores/article/view/209/213

Radiation arteriopathy in the transgenic arteriovenous fistula model

The transgenic arteriovenous fistula model, surgically constructed with transgenic mouse aorta interposed in common carotid artery-to-external jugular vein fistulae in nude rats, has a 4-month experimental window because patency and transgenic phenotype are lost over time. We adapted this model to investigate occlusive arteriopathy in brain arteriovenous malformations after radiosurgery by radiating grafted aorta before insertion in the fistula. We hypothesized that high-dose radiation would reproduce the arteriopathy observed clinically within the experimental time window and that deletions of endoglin (ENG) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) genes would modify the radiation response.

RESULTS: High-dose radiation (200 Gy) of mouse common carotid arteries induced only mild arteriopathy (mean score, 0.66) without intimal hyperplasia and with high mortality (68%). Radiation arteriopathy in wild-type arteriovenous fistulae was severe (mean score, 3.5 at 200 Gy), with intimal hyperplasia and medial disruption at 3 months, decreasing luminal areas with increasing dose, and no mortality. Arteriopathy was robust in transgenic arteriovenous fistulae with ENG +/- and with eNOS with thick intimal hyperplasia in the former and distinct smooth muscle cell proliferation in the latter.

CONCLUSION: The transgenic arteriovenous fistula model can be adapted to rapidly reproduce radiation arteriopathy observed in resected brain arteriovenous malformations after radiosurgery. High radiation doses accelerate the progression of arteriopathy to fit the 4-month time limitation of the model, allowing transgenic tissues to retain their phenotypes throughout the experimental window. Modified radiation responses in ENG and eNOS knock-out fistulae indicate that arteriopathy after arteriovenous malformation radiosurgery might potentially be enhanced by altered gene expression. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18580811

Volunteer Experience

HEALTH CARE PROVIDER WALKER’S POINT CLINIC JUNE-AUGUST 2016

At this Milwaukee clinic, I saw uninsured patients at their scheduled appointments. I also served as a medical interpreter and medical scribe for the medical staff. In addition, I consult with the medical providers regarding the plan of care for each patient.

PUBLIC HEALTH HIV RESEARCHER TRAINING IN URBAN MEDICINE PROGRAM

JAN. 2013-MAY 2014

The Training in Urban Medicine and Public Health (TRIUMPH) program is a program within the school of medicine, designed to address the health needs of underserved and disadvantaged communities. I was committed to providing health care for urban populations to reduce health disparities combine with my third-year rotations and fourth-year preceptorship and electives with a community-health project. My project was based at 16th Street Community Health Clinic and it involved identifying newly-diagnosed individuals with HIV/AIDS or those who have lost care. I identified the upstream factors contributing to the loss of care and determined means to re-engage patients into healthcare.

HEALTH CARE PROVIDER MEDIC STUDENT RUN FREE CLINIC AUGUST 2010-MAY 2014

Volunteered in the Southside clinic which served a predominantly uninsured population. Conducted patient interviews, physicals and made assessments/plans. Interpreter for Spanish-speaking patients.

STUDENT MEDICAL ADVISER PALMA AUGUST 2010-MAY 2014

The mission of the Professional Association of Latinos for Medical School Access (PALMA) is to provide resources for Latino students at UW-Madison traditionally underrepresented and interested in pursuing a medical career. I served as a medical student advisor and provided undergraduates with advice to succeed and prepare for the field of medicine, worked to connect to academic advisors, as well as to physicians who could provide mentorship and shadowing opportunities.

PROGRAM COORDINATOR MINI MEDICAL SCHOOL AUGUST 2010-MAY2014

Held biannually for over 100 minority and disadvantaged students from high schools in Madison and Milwaukee and college students from UW-Madison. The programs included presentations on undergraduate and medical-school admissions, health disparities, anatomy, physical-exam skills and also included a tour of the medical school and hospital facilities.
