Archives March against kidney diseaseMarch against kidney disease Generally in the United States, the month of March is closely associated with St. Patrick’s Day and finding good luck. March is important for another reason, it is the national month to recognize and raise awareness for an unlucky health condition, kidney disease. Most Americans know that to be fortunate with good health requires monitoring things such as blood pressure to prevent heart disease; however, it is also key to preventing Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), another “silent killer.” Another risk factor for kidney disease is diabetes, which is the leading cause of kidney failure. Of the more than 110,000 Americans currently in need of organ transplants, 87,000 of them are waiting for a kidney. Each year, an estimated 88,000 American die from causes related to kidney failure. Kidney disease is on the rise, and as a major cause for office visits and hospitalizations, it is definitely keeping
physicians busy and costing patients a pretty penny. With proper routine medical care, the disease can be caught early and managed to slow or stop the damage. You don’t have to be lucky to slow the disease. As you consume your green beverages on Saturday, March 17, keep in mind that your kidneys will be working hard to regulate your body’s fluid levels and filter wastes and toxins from your blood. It is estimated that for every four-leaf clover, there are about 10,000 three-leaf clovers.
Kidney Facts Reportedly, 26 million Americans suffer
from chronic kidney disease.
Nearly 215,000 people are living with kidney
disease resulting from diabetes.
There are more than 361,000 dialysis
patients and 165,000 people with
functioning kidney transplants in the U.S.

Match Day!
One of the most anticipated events on the
Wichita Campus, Match Day is Friday, March 16,

students spend a portion of their time
interviewing for residency. On Match Day, the
students learn where they will spend the next
several years of residency learning the skills of
their specialty.
It is an exciting time for the students and ASA
would like to share it with you! Everyone is
invited to attend the ceremony, which begins at
11 a.m. in the Roberts Amphitheater; however,
seating is limited and priority will be given to the
fourth-year students and their guests. Please note

How long have you worked at KUSM–W and what was your job before you came here? II have been here at KUSM–W for almost four months. Previously, I was a full-time
student at Emporia State University, and worked part-time at COMCARE as a crisis
case manager. Additionally, I worked at the Robert J. Dole VA part-time as a
psychologist intern, providing individual and group therapy for veterans.
What are your job responsibilities and what do you like most about your job? My responsibilities include acting as a project manager for new and ongoing research in
the department of Family and Community Medicine. In order to fulfill this
responsibility, I may need to assist the principal investigator and other investigators in
writing and organizing grant applications, IRB documents, and manuscripts for journal
submission. I also assist with data collection and the statistical interpretation of data.
Basically, I am responsible for making sure that all research projects that I manage run
as smooth as possible and meet any deadlines specified by the principal investigator or
the granting agency.
I enjoy being a research associate because I like having the opportunity to learn deeply
about subjects that many times I do not know much about. I also enjoy working with
the various principal investigators and other study team members to solve sometimes
complex issues and discuss new directions for future research. I love to be creative
and research is an area where I feel that I have an outlet for this expression.
Tell us about your top 5 Strengths. My top 5 strengths are: 1) Input, 2) Ideation, 3) WOO, 4) Individualization, 5) Positivity
Input feeds into my fascination with learning about new stuff. Ideation explains my need
to be creative in my role as a research associate. WOO and individualization are used
when I make connections on a personal level with research staff and the principal
investigators. I also use these strengths to network with others in the community for
future collaboration with research. Lastly, I use positivity nearly daily as I enjoy being
happy and ensuring that those around me are happy as well.
What do you do in your spare time? I really enjoy watching “The Office” and “Modern Family.” I would have to say my
favorite show is “The Daily Show.” I also like networking with other professionals in
Wichita and sharing and discussing ideas, generally on the topic of improving education.
What’s a favorite movie and/or book? It is difficult to pick one move as my favorite. For comedy, I would have to say
“Anchor Man,” and for drama, I will pick “Braveheart.”
My favorite book is a bit easier. It is “Brain Rules” by John Madina.
Who is your hero or the person you most admire and why? The person that I most admire is Albert Einstein. I admire the ability he had to wield
his intellect to create vivid and fascinating mental experiments, which led to most of his
brilliant discoveries. Most of all, I admire Einstein’s tenacity and his unwillingness to
allow others to have an impact on what he believed to be the right and true. He was a
scientist through and through, and as such he continued his search for valid answers
despite facing pessimism and exclusion from the established physicists he knew at the
time. Einstein serves as a reminder to not become deterred by the pessimism of
others, and that lofty ideas are never out of reach.
