  • Role: Project Lead

    Institutional affiliation: Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, Department of Surgery (Advisor: Dr. R. Jonathan Robitsek)

    I currently lead two projects that investigate intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetrated against women in trauma care settings.

    In one study, I examine the quality of proper documentation of IPV using hospital medical records. I also seek to evaluate the severity and types of injury in these cases.

    In a second study, I utilize data from the National Trauma Data Base to explore injury types, treatment outcomes and care across diverse populations.
