Initial evidence suggests that pain is undermanaged in people experiencing homelessness. We discuss how this review can inform future research and interventions to address this population's specific pain care needs.

It's finally here! 🎉

After working on this paper since 2019, my scoping review on pain in people experiencing homelessness is published online. Check it out!

Our main finding was that people experiencing homelessness have high rates of pain and report high levels of pain intensity and interference. Less is known about other factors relevant to pain, such as self-management and treatment-seeking behaviors.

My cats thought it would be hilarious today to increase my cognitive load during my dissertation defense on provider cognitive load by attacking a tissue box, a lamp, and each other...and yes, I passed my defense! #PhinisheD #PhinallyDone

Did anybody else watch the Secret of Nimh (pronounced "nim) growing up and only many years later realize that the secret is that they were all lab rats at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)?!

@Cindy_J_Chang Take a walk break with one of your internship cohort-mates. 🙂

If two people always agree, it’s a sign that at least one of them isn’t thinking critically—or speaking candidly.

Differences of opinion don't have to be threats. They can be opportunities to learn.

Intellectual friction isn't a relationship bug. It's a feature of education.

First day of internship! Pictured: First first day and last first day of school (hopefully,🤞).
