Hand osteoarthritis is a common cause of hand pain and often does not require referral to rheumatology. With the anticipated workforce shortage of rheumatologists, referral trends to rheumatology for osteoarthritis need to be further evaluated. We will be conducting online surveys with UNC healthcare providers to gauge their understanding and comfort in diagnosing and managing patients with hand osteoarthritis. This will include short hand osteoarthritis video recordings covering various aspects including diagnosis, differential diagnosis, management, prognosis and appropriate referral procedures to rheumatology. This data will provide us information about comfort level in diagnosis, management and understand referral patterns from primary care providers.

To use a human centered design process to partner with community co-designers to understand how mentorship within a developmentally positive environment supports the mediators of reflection, belonging, and meaning-making to increase neurodiverse students' self-advocacy, self-perception, self-purpose, and ultimately in service of promoting academic performance, thriving and well-being.

The research aims to improve how we check for Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) in different healthcare settings, making it easier for people to get tested. We want to see how accurately this test can detect HCV infection in people who might have symptoms or are at risk. We are using a type of blood sample called "EDTA capillary whole blood," which is a small amount of blood collected in a tiny tube with a special substance to prevent it from clotting. This study helps us understand if the Xpert HCV test can be reliable in practical situations where anyone can use it. The goal is to make sure this test is good at finding Hepatitis C infections, especially in places where not many healthcare professionals are available.
