AACH Announces First Putnam Scholar Recipient
AACH congratulates Tonya Fancher, MD, MPH, Associate Program Director, Internal Medicine Residency Program at University of California at Davis for being chosen as the first recipient of the Putnam Scholars Program. Dr. Fancher was selected to use the grant to carry out a project she proposed to improve clinician-patient communication in the local Southeast Asian community in Sacramento County. As a Putnam Scholar, Dr. Fancher’s sponsoring department (UC Davis) will receive $9,000 of funding from AACH for her proposed project to improve communication between clinicians and patients from Southeast Asia living in the United States by implementing a course that teaches medical residents the importance of asking about patient’s culture in order to create a trusting relationship.
