Bryanna Patterson is a fourth-year medical student at UNC School of Medicine, originally from Charlotte, NC. She completed her undergraduate studies at UNC Chapel Hill, earning a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, and took three gap years before starting medical school.<\/p>\n
Motivated by her passion for advancing health equity, she was drawn to the Clinician Leadership in Quality and Safety (CLQS) Scholarly Concentration for the opportunity to learn from leaders in quality improvement and develop strategies for systems-level change to improve health outcomes.<\/p>\n
As a CLQS scholar, Bryanna is working with Dr. Silverstein on a project focused on interpreter use in the operating room to improve patient safety and communication. She plans to pursue a career in Obstetrics and Gynecology and hopes to apply the strategies and practical tools learned through CLQS in her clinical practice.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
