University of Central Florida COM HCA Healthcare GME
Yurika Hara graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine in May 2022, and is now a PGY-1 Psychiatry Resident at University of Central Florida’s psychiatry program. She has been collaborating with Dr. Bui as part of her team to investigate the various positive impacts of proactive psychiatry consultation in the ICU setting. As a medical student at VCU, she has also worked with Dr. Bui and her team to expand the project to provide a unique educational opportunity for medical trainees. Trainees learn management of psychiatric conditions in critically ill patients in addition to experiencing firsthand the impacts of this novel proactive psychiatry consultation model. Given interests and background in teaching and medical education, it is one of the team’s goals that the model would not only provide positive impacts in a clinical setting, but also in an educational setting.
