Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center

This past summer I had the opportunity to work within a tight-knit team researching the impact of exercise prescriptions on inactive breast cancer patients. Our project is a component of a larger multipart study with the overarching goal of designing an effective exercise prescription program for individuals that have finished breast cancer treatment and need help beginning exercise post treatment.

This summer I had the opportunity to work as a research assistant studying urinary incontinence in active women under a pediatric urologist at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. Urinary incontinence (UI) is estimated to affect about half of adult women but remains highly stigmatized and under-reported in clinical settings.
