Bio

Hello, I'm Evanka! I am a medical student whose work focuses on refugee healthcare, maternal health and child development, and vaccine accessibility. I love opportunities to support students through a broad range of experiences and interests whether it is in clinical medicine, healthcare accessibility, and research writing support. While we work together, I plan to support your through your journey of securing tools in research, writing, and communication. I look forward to working with you soon!

Project ideas

Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.

COVID-19 Pandemic Impact on Childhood Vaccinations

The COVID-19 pandemic made a significant impact on the vaccinations that children received, limiting their access to continuous medical care and prevention. The barriers that impact children from receiving their childhood vaccines can be investigated and the associated health outcomes can be further explored. Whether the student would like to focus on one particular country, compare countries/regions around the world, or look at one particular city, they will be able to research topics around known efficacies, side effects, and misinformation of vaccines. Students will conduct a literature review, write up a paper, and provide recommendations.
