Areas of Research Interests
My current research has focused on organ donation. Specifically, I have studied live donors, organ procurement professionals, the circumstances of donation and follow-up studies of live donors and an NIH follow-up study on living lung donors together with five other universities. I am especially interested in altruistic organ donors. My work with Dr. North has involved the production of an educational program for disaster work entitled P-FLASH (Practical Front-line Assistance and Support for Healing).
