UNDERGRADUATE INTERNSHIP
From Fall 2003-Spring 2004, for my senior year internship, I assisted a team of research investigators at Kaiser Permanente's Center for Health Research during the launching phase of the clinical trial study caled "Active Referral". This study was based on the hypothesis that dental clinicians are more likely to offer patients tobacco cessation interventions if there is an outside source to refer patients to, such as a telephone-based tobacco quitline, which provides experienced and definitive counseling services.
