Preliminary Research Findings
SRLP Implementation Plan Poster
This poster outlines a randomized trial we are conducting as a natural experiment within the SLRP. The trial assesses how occupational wellness, professional development, and overall financial wellness impact the retention of primary care providers in medically underserved communities. The data gathered could inform resident recruitment strategies and more.
Primary Care Indebtedness Poster
This poster presents preliminary findings from our data analysis on the indebtedness profile of primary care providers. Key insights include the disproportionate impact of indebtedness on specific clinical disciplines (such as dentistry and behavioral health), race, and loan sizes (which serve as a proxy for loan types and health professional school programs). These findings could inform the development of a robust primary care track at UConn School of Medicine.
