Listen now
Description
In this next conversation in our Gold Student Summer Fellows series, Gold Assistant Director of Program Initiatives Michelle Sloane interviews Maylis Basturk, a 2022 Gold Student Summer Fellow and medical student at Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California. Before medical school, she worked as a lab technician in a Drosophila lab at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and as a Research Associate at the Silicon Valley genetic testing startup company Color Health. Maylis's research and clinical interests include examining the intersection of chronic health conditions and incarceration at Los Angeles County Jail and developing patient education interventions. Through her service project, titled “Keck Transitions in Health: Creating Patient Education Tools for Self-Management Workshops to Improve Health Outcomes in People Experiencing Incarceration and Chronic Health Conditions in Los Angeles," Maylis designed a community needs assessment to develop self-management workshops for justice-involved individuals experiencing type II diabetes and hypertension. The Gold Connection is produced by the Gold Humanism Honor Society, a program of The Arnold P. Gold Foundation,  a nonprofit that champions humanism in healthcare. On this podcast, we share stories of humanism in action, as well as tools and lessons for students, clinicians, and leaders.
