October STARDoM Awardees!
Congratulations to the following October STARDoM awardees!!!
Lindsey Barlow, B.S Neurobiology
“Lindsey has all of the qualities of a STAR! She is a relatively new medical assistant to our suite (Crosstown 5A), but she has already made quite the impression. Her work is consistently exceptional; she not only does her work with efficiency and attention to detail, but she also keeps an eye on the big picture and doesn’t hesitate to step in when help is needed.”
Job Title: Medical Assistant
How many years have you been at BUSM/BMC? 1
Describe your role within the Department of Medicine
As an MA in GIM’s women’s health department, I get patients ready to see their provider. I check vital signs, do any point of care testing needed, and assist with birth control procedures. I also help patients receive any housing, food, and immigration resources they may need.
What do you like best about your job?
My favorite thing about my job is a tie between 2 things- the first is talking with patients and hearing their stories. The second is learning from the amazing providers in my clinic. They have taught me how to care for patients as a whole, which is a lesson I hope to bring with me if I get into PA school.
Favorite thing to do outside of work?
I love making jewelry! You’ll find me at Rosie’s Place teaching a jewelry class :)
Little known fact: I’m running a half marathon in November!
Katelyn Sylvester, BA
“Katelyn has become a star in the role and at our recent site visit, the ACGME evaluators could not stop singing her praises! The program directors and the fellows within ID feel the exact same way.”
