"What You See Is What You Learn: National Variation in Emergency Medicine Residency Environments"

We will create a novel national data set linking emergency medicine (EM) residency and hospital operations and quality data to perform a cross-sectional analysis that will describe overall variation in metrics of the clinical training environment, differences in the clinical environment between residencies of different characteristics, and describe trends over time.

    Carlisle Topping is a research year medical student at Yale University pursuing an MD/MHS degree. She earned a bachelor's degree in biology from Columbia University.

    Prior to medical school, she worked in the Cancer Outcomes Research and Education Program at Massachusetts General Hospital. Her introduction to emergency medicine was at Bellevue Hospital where she worked as a patient advocate and was witness to the impact of social forces and systems on health. She is interested in emergency medicine with a dedication to advancing equitable healthcare for individuals from low-income areas. This drove her to join Dr. Arjun Venkatesh’s lab, where she has worked on multiple health services and health policy projects addressing overlapping geographic and socioeconomic health inequities.
