霍布斯,他 最近匹配 in internal medicine at 医疗 College of Wisconsin, led a project entitled, “Pregnancy Increases Platelet Reactivity and Induces a Thrombogenic Platelet Transcriptome in Mice.”
Hobbs earned an undergraduate degree from Oakland University’s Honors College, said that research wasn’t exactly new to her when she started at OUWB. 然而, her 开始 project was the first time she took on a significant research project and had full control of it every step of the way.
She said the experience will help make her a better doctor.
“It takes a lot of critical thinking and analyzing the literature to synthesize the idea of the project,霍布斯说。. “Then, you’re using different tools to execute the plan and analyze data. That (approach) is really important for patient care…it’s very important to have all of these skills.”
With a belief that research is the foundation to medicine, Hobbs said “you certainly can’t advance medicine without doing a lot of basic research first.”
Not only that, but the project has opened doors for Hobbs. She presented the work at an American Society of Hematology conference — w在这里 she was awarded the prestigious ASH HONORS fellowship — and noted that “it was definitely a highlight for conversation during all of my residency interviews, 也.”
