\"KayraKayra Cengiz, a rising second-year medical student, won third place for her poster search, \u201cVisual Proficiency in Medicine: A Rubric-Based Educational Video for Physician-Patient Communication,\u201d at the Massachusetts Medical Society (MMS) 15th<\/sup>\u00a0 research poster symposium held in conjunction with its signature education event, Future Health: Best Practices for Advancing Care held on March 22 at the MMS.<\/p>\n

Approximately 100 abstracts submitted by residents, fellows and students were considered in in three categories: clinical and basic research, health policy\/medical education and clinical vignettes. Cengiz\u2019s poster won in the health policy\/medical education category.<\/p>\n

Effective communication is crucial for conveying complex medical concepts to patients, ensuring the highest standards of healthcare. \u201cVisual aids like clinical illustrations are key to improving patient understanding and engagement with healthcare providers. However, many physicians lack formal training in artistic concepts, which can affect the quality and effectiveness of their visual communication,\u201d said Cengiz. Her poster addresses this issue by developing and evaluating instructional videos designed to enhance physician skills in creating clinical sketches.<\/p>\n

Originally from Southern Turkey, Cengiz completed her bachelor\u2019s degree in architecture at Cornell University in 2020. While gaining professional experience in architecture, she decided the medical field was a better fit for her. She plans to integrate her background in design to make meaningful contributions to healthcare delivery and patient outcomes.<\/p>\n

In addition to her medical studies, Cengiz serves as the lead administrator for Healthcare Educator Art (HEART)\u2014a collaborative effort that brings together medical, premedical, and art students to create a diverse array of visual materials aimed at enhancing healthcare education\u2014where she oversees the content of the platform. Furthermore, she is an active participant in the Learn, Experience, Advocate, Discover, and Serve (LEADS) curriculum<\/a> at the school. In this role, she is involved in research that focuses on the utilization of visual aids in clinical settings to improve patient understanding, particularly in environments where linguistic barriers exist. Additionally, Cengiz is involved in investigating adverse effects related to immune checkpoint inhibitors.<\/p>\n
