Projects & Research
Quality Improvement Project
- Developed a standardized clinical assessment tool to guide third-year medical students in obtaining focused histories, performing physical examinations, and formulating assessments and plans for patients arriving to the Emergency Department via EMS.
- Designed the tool to improve clinical organization, student workflow, and integration of prehospital handoff information into patient evaluation.

- Developed pre- and post-simulation assessments to evaluate participant knowledge, competency, and understanding of OOH-DNR decision-making.
Association of Rural-Urban Commuting Area (RUCA) Classification With Return of Spontaneous Circulation and Hospital Outcomes in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
- Principal Investigator: Dr. Bryan Everitt, MD
- Conducting a retrospective study evaluating the association between rurality, as defined by RUCA classification, and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and hospital outcomes following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
- Evaluating prehospital factors that may contribute to outcome differences across rural, suburban, and metropolitan settings, including bystander CPR, AED access, and EMS response intervals.
