Knowledge of PCOS Clinical Features Survey Study

In this study, we aim to assess patient, their partner, and provider understanding of a diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). An electronic survey investigating respondent's knowledge of the key clinical features of PCOS will be distributed to patients with PCOS and their partners, as well as to attending and resident physicians from various specialties and medical students. We believe that this study will highlight areas of clinical confusion to patients and areas where providers can improve upon counseling and patient education regarding features of the disease. We also believe that this study may highlight disparities in knowledge and understanding of key clinical features of PCOS among various providers, potentially highlighting an opportunity for improved training and education among physicians at various levels of training.

South-Asian Perception on Being Promoted to Leadership Positions

The purpose of this study is to understand that despite the fact that South-Asians successfully make up a large portion of leadership positions (such as executive managerial titles) in Fortune 500 companies, do they still feel disadvantaged or prejudiced against in their experience to reach these high-level positions. To understand this, I am interviewing South-Asian individuals in the corporate sector to understand their ongoing journey to leadership or their technical professional experience to find commonly perceived themes in their journey. This study will serve to prove insights on how to create a more cohesive and welcoming path to leadership positions for South-Asians.
