Much of my professional work has been to improve healthcare access and quality for the University of Iowa Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology so my participation in research is fairly limited. I have, however, helped to facilitate access to patients in our clinical areas by working with our departmental research team as well as researchers to coordinate the consenting of patients so as to provide wide access but limit disruptions in patient care.
