\"Fourth-year
UNC School of Medicine student Reaves Houston<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Fourth-year UNC School of Medicine student Reaves Houston exemplifies exceptional talent, kindness, and compassion as a medical student. Currently, she is also collaborating with the Division of Geriatric Medicine on various research projects.<\/p>\n

Recently, Houston was selected to participate in the Physician Leadership in Quality and Safety Concentration program<\/a>. As part of this program, she will spearhead a QI initiative on the Division’s inpatient service. Specifically, the program aims to enhance the prevention and management of behavioral and psychological symptoms in persons with dementia and delirium.<\/p>\n

Dr. David Lynch, the Medical Director of Inpatient Geriatrics Service and Houston’s mentor says, “I initially encountered [Houston] during her time on our inpatient geriatrics service. Her performance during her acting internship on Med A was truly exceptional.”<\/p>\n

Following that internship, Houston pursued her MPH at UNC<\/a>. In her master’s paper, she focused on a systematic review. Houston addressed the question of whether people with dementia\/cognitive impairment are included in RCTs of exercise interventions for hospital-associated functional decline.<\/p>\n

This year, Houston will apply to internal medicine residency programs. Dr. Lynch says, “I personally hope that we can retain her at UNC and inspire her to pursue a career in geriatrics and research.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
