Are you interested in getting involved with research on South Asian health?
We are recruiting 4 students to join our growing research team and focus on one of three projects:
Meta-analysis of lipid levels in South Asians
Cross-sectional and/or longitudinal analyses of the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), and MASALA datasets to better understand preventive behaviors and cardiovascular risk factors in South Asians. Experience with statistics, epidemiology, or similar data-based research is highly recommended for this project. Please review the following link to see the list of variables available and recent publications: https://www.masalastudy.org/for-researchers
Survey-based research initiative to improve and better understand the health of South Asian students
Stress is a common experience among medical students and professionals and even more so for those coming from a South Asian background. We are constantly tackling many different challenges both in the workplace and in our homes/communities. Take this month to relax and practice some mindfulness techniques!
The South Asian Medical Student Association (SAMSA) is a national organization founded by a team of medical students in order to bring together efforts to address South Asian health. Our goals are to improve advocacy efforts, promote research initiatives and cultivate a sense of cultural awareness in the next generation of physician-leaders.
