44 Research Reflection by Emi Wickens

Faculty Mentor: Anne V. Kirby ( Occupational & Recreational Therapies, University of Utah)

My undergraduate research gave me the opportunity to apply what I had been learning in school to a real life problem that I am passionate about. Before I began this project, I was very intimidated by research, but now I feel like I have the skills to perform inquiry based investigations independently. I am applying to medical school and plan to become a physician, so this work is very important to my future goals as it provides me with a unique perspective on healthcare. As a public health major, I was very excited to create a policy recommendation based on my own project.
