Medical Oncology Intern

June 2023 - September 2023

I have also worked at City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center as a medical oncology intern. of Hope Medical Oncology Intern. I studied the survivability of 750 patients with stage IV kidney cancer based on their insurance type and discovered that patients with publicly-funded insurance plans have a 1.6% higher survivability rate over those with privately funded plans. I used excel to filter data from 750 patients and created statistical models to validate the hypothesis that insurance plan types are strongly correlated with survivability rates. I also was named co-author to a publication which aimed to correct the improper use of medical jargon in modern medical oncology. Poster Board is attached here.
