Healthcare Initiatives Assistant
-
Jul 2023 - Present
• Taking the initiative to raise awareness among physicians and medical departments, I am working towards collaborating with medical schools to teach students in their pre-clerkship years about TS. • Turner Syndrome (TS) usually requires coordination among 13 different specialists, creating challenges for parents transitioning from pediatric care. With TS affecting 1 in 2,000 females, healthcare professionals must be well-prepared and considerate of risks. • Taking the initiative to raise awareness among physicians and medical departments, I am working towards collaborating with medical schools to teach students in their pre-clerkship years about TS. • Turner Syndrome (TS) usually requires coordination among 13 different specialists, creating challenges for parents transitioning from pediatric care.
