I'm in the first few months of the fellowship but happy to chat with anyone who's interested! An UNREAL opportunity for anyone passionate about diagnostic error research. Feel free to DM me!
So excited for this opportunity from @ImproveDx- the fellowship has already connected me with leaders in the field (@MarkGraber!) and I'm looking forward to getting research project feedback (and hearing about my co-fellows work!) from a whole room of experts at #DEM2018 in Nov!
