Wednesday, October 27, 2021
Last year, I wrote nearly the college drinking phenomenon known every bit Thirsty Thursday as well as pointed out that a pregnant per centum of Emergency Room patients at St. Elizabeth's Hospital come upwards from nearby Boston College, arriving alongside a diagnosis of alcohol poisoning.
That's the bad news. The skilful word is that a grouping of volunteer undergrad pre-meds from the same schoolhouse participate inwards a Screening Brief Intervention Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) plan at the hospital.
Aaron Lemmon, who developed the plan for the hospital, reports, "Over the past times 4 years xviii screeners convey engaged 543 patients alongside substantial improvement inwards both recidivism rates as well as civilization of care. They every bit good convey produced a video documentary, video role-plays, as well as an 84 page manual to facilitate plan replication, which were presented at 2 national conferences."
The video follows. This is a lovely representative of cooperation betwixt 2 institutions, relying on the idealistic loose energy of futurity doctors. Aaron's promise is to expand programs "through which major wellness help providers could selectively integrate aspiring healthcare professionals into expanded help teams alongside minimal cost." After he finishes his MBA/MSIS inwards Health Sector Strategy at Boston University inwards 2015, he's jump to brand a difference.
