research

As an OutreacI also received multiple awards for going above and beyond my job description at the Veterans Affairs in Wilmington. For instance, I created a Muse System interface that incorporated EKGs from five hospitals into a single system. This was the first system of its kind, and it enabled cardiologists to read EKGs immediately and to cut the turnaround time for diagnostic purposes in half..
