Our Speakers

You Chen, Ph.D., FAMIA,  is an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Informatics at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. He is the director of the Optimization of Health ProcEsses and Networks Laboratory (OHPENLab). He uses sophisticated network analysis to mine the vast stores of data held in electronic health records, identifying patterns representing good practice in the implementation of collaborative patient-centered care. Dr. Chen’s research is funded through various grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and National Science Foundation (NSF) to construct methodologies and technologies that optimize the healthcare process via the learning healthcare systems. Dr. Chen’s research foci include care coordination, human-computer interaction, team science, telehealth, patient safety, predictive analytics, drug-drug interactions, and clinician burnout. Dr.Chen’s research findings were published in high-impact clinical (e.g., AJRCCM) and medical informatics journals(e.g., JAMIA, JBI, and IJMI). He holds a doctoral degree in computer science from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. After his graduation in 2010, he has been working in biomedical informatics at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Dr. Rachel D’Amico is an Internal Medicine-Pediatrics PGY-4 resident, who is planning to start a Primary Care and Health Services Research Fellowship next year. She will be talking about a research project she recently completed analyzing health care disparities in primary care here at Ohio State during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dr. Marty Fried is an internist within the Division of General Internal Medicine at Ohio State. His clinical interest is the integration of addiction medicine within primary care. He is also one of the founders of Core IM, an internal medicine podcast with international reach, and is interested in the use of podcasts and other novel forms of digital education within traditional medical curricula.

Susan Li joined OSU GIM faculty in 2019 practicing med/peds primary care. She spends part of her time serving as an adult cystic fibrosis provider at NCH, and also sees many of the CF patients at OSU as their PCP. Her clinical and research interest focuses on preventative services within this population, and understanding major morbidity and mortality endpoints in this population in what is now a complete new era in the field of cystic fibrosis.

Bethany Lockwood is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Palliative Medicine. She completed her medical training, med-peds residency, and med-peds hospice & palliative medicine fellowship at OSU/NCH. She is currently the Associate Program Director for the HPM fellowship, IM residency Core Liaison for palliative medicine, and has research interests in clinician communication training and the unique needs of adolescents and young adults with serious illness.

Dr. Wesley Milks is a cardiologist and clinical assistant professor of medicine at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.  Originally from Upper Arlington, Ohio, he attended Dartmouth College for undergraduate studies, later earning his medical degree from The Ohio State University College of Medicine, where he completed his fellowship training.  Dr. Milks has a wide variety of clinical and research interests, including in particular preventive cardiology and cardiovascular imaging. His focus in cardiovascular disease prevention includes management of lipid disorders and using mobile health technologies for cardiovascular wellness.  Dr. Milks serves as the director of cardiac rehabilitation of the Ross Heart Hospital and the associate program director for the cardiovascular disease fellowship, as well as nationally as a member of the American College of Cardiology's Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Leadership Council. 

Dr. Pollak is an Assistant Professor in the Division of General Internal Medicine, His practice focuses on specialty primary care for those living with HIV or at risk for HIV along with providing gender affirming care for members of the LGBTQ+ community. His Current research focuses on alternative care delivery models for patients living with HIV to improve retention in care and viral suppression."

Dr. Saigal has been a hospitalist for the last 9 years, with the last 4 years at OSU. Besides clinical work, she has been actively involved in research and in Quality improvement. She co-chairs the Diversity and Inclusion committee from Hospital medicine and enjoys medical opinion writing. Her interest in diversity, equity, and Inclusion prompted her to study disparities of COVID-19 Outcomes by Race and Sex in Non-incarcerated and Incarcerated Hospitalized Patients in Central Ohio.

Dr. Kyle Stinehart is a third-year pulmonary and critical care medicine fellow at Ohio State, who previously completed both his internal medicine residency and chief residency at OSU prior to starting fellowship.  His clinical, scholarly, and educational interests are in population health, healthcare delivery, and health disparities with a special focus on rural-urban differences in care access and outcomes.  Today he’ll be talking about one of his projects examining rural-urban differences in long-term outcomes after critical illness.
