Machine Learning in Medicine: Predicting Total Hip Arthroplasty Infection Rates in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Database

The goal of this project was to establish the effectiveness of utilizing machine learning models to predict surgical outcomes of THAs utilizing on pre-surgical data points.

• What inspires you to do research?
  To me, research provides an opportunity to integrate a personal passion for technology and healthcare improvement alongside the ability to better future care opportunities for patients. It is rewarding to develop or investigate a program that has beneficial consequences across multiple healthcare sectors, such as clinical care and hospital management.
• Where do you hope to do your residency and why?
  Seeing as I am still a few years out from residency, I am pretty wide open at this point as for where or what I am searching for in a residency program. However, I am looking forward to landing somewhere that will force me to grow as a doctor and allow me to continue my interest in the intersection of healthcare, administration, and technology.
• Tell us a fun fact about yourself.
  I can fly and (perhaps more importantly) land a hot air balloon.
