Senior Research Assistant
Greater Seattle Area
I helped maintain Seattle's cardiac arrest registry by reviewing each case, verifying the data collected and drafting quality improvement feedback to providers on the call. Additionally, I assisted with a variety of research projects involving: cardiac arrest, advanced airway management, end tidal CO2, and stroke. Through this position I became intimately aware with the inner workings of REDCap, STATA, ORCA, CODESTAT, ESO, and CAD. I have been co-author on multiple abstracts that were accepted to national EMS conferences. I have attended the National Association for EMS Physicians conference in January 2020. I was first author on an abstract that was submitted to the American Association for the Surgery on Trauma conference that explored the associations between prehospital end-tidal CO2 and Emergency Department diagnosis of hemorrhagic shock. I also assist my research manager by completing IRB requests, writing grants, and drafting research papers. I worked on a research team with a wide variety of personnel including physicians, researchers, managers, administrators, firefighters, paramedics, and fellow pre-med graduates. I was based out of Harborview Medical Center in the Seattle Fire Department Quality Improvement and Paramedic Training office.
