Monica Vandivort, MD, was the most recent DOM winner of an AzAHEC grant for the project, “Paramedicine-Primary Care Partnership in Rural Cochise County to Improve Health Outsomes for Severly Ill Elders.”
Among themes of other prior projects have been HPV vaccine promotion, insulin sensitivity and weight loss in women with obesity and diabetes, fall prevention for older adults, promoting sun safety in rural Arizona, and barriers to stroke prevention in underserved communities, to name just a few.
Serving the Underserved
Many of these grants provide graduate health sciences students, medical interns, and residents with an opportunity to gain experience in rural and urban medically-underserved Arizona communities through research and/or scholarly projects.
This fosters Arizona health sciences trainees' interest in rural and urban medically-underserved practice and other areas of unmet needs.
Through interprofessional modalities and community engagement, grant programs also address community needs specific to Arizona’s populations.
