Internal Medicine Residents Present their Research Proposals for Recognition

Every year, residents in the internal medicine program are tasked with completing a quality improvement (QI) project as part of their Reserach and Quality Improvement curriculum. After all the presentations are given, 5-6 of the best projects are chosen for recognition. This year's QI presenations were split into two sessions, in the February/March session, presentations were in-person and in the August session, they were all virtual.

Congratulations to the following residents for their QI proposals:

• Michelle Oye - “Proposed Screening for B12 Deficiency in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes on Metformin”
• Ayesha Hassan - “Stat H&H Before Blood Transfusions”
• Steve Sagun - “Diet Restart Following NPO”
• Abigail Foster - “Folate Testing in Hospital Medicine”
• Miles Graves - “Level of Care Designations for Upper GI Bleeds”
• Nishtha Modi - “Do Pillbox Organizers Improve Adherence/Compliance in Appalachian Population with Limited Access to Healthcare”

If you think you have QI ideas worth pursuing and would like to have this years’ class consider them, please email IMresearch@hsc.wvu.edu.
