Speakers bios:
Jane Jih, MD, MPH, MAS, is a practicing general internist, investigator and Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of General Internal Medicine at the University of California San Francisco. Her extramurally funded research program aims to reduce health disparities and promote health equity among multiethnic and linguistically diverse adults by developing and evaluating innovative, patient-centered interventions. Dr. Jih’s current stakeholder-engaged and clinical practice-based research focuses on: a) the impact of social determinants of health including race/ethnicity, language and culture on chronic disease care, particularly among those with multiple chronic conditions; b) patient-clinician communication about social determinants of health and unmet health-related social needs such as food insecurity and transportation barriers; and c) use of photos as a tool to communicate about health and social factors important in chronic disease care. This work is based on the premise that photos can promote efficient information exchange and activate patients to communicate their complex lived experiences, including their goals and preferences that may otherwise be difficult to elicit or challenging to discuss in current clinical practice.
Antony Nguyen, MPH is a recent graduate with a concentration in Epidemiology from Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, but a long-time research assistant to Prof. Jane Jih at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) Division of General Internal Medicine. His motivations in research were inspired by prior experiences working with Prof. Jih and as an AmeriCorps member in local health jurisdictions and nonprofit organizations. Antony's research interests include applying intersectionality to quantitative methods, early childhood adversity, non-communicable diseases and injuries (NCDIs), and social needs care in primary care and safety net settings.
