Welcome to the very first issue of the Research Operations' newsletter! I can't believe it has been one year since my arrival at BMC. It's been an exciting journey full of discoveries and adventures. One of my main goals for this year is to enhance our communications with the research community. We have learned a lot about making virtual communication more effective, but are always looking for suggestions for improvement.
|
Our goal for this newsletter is to broaden our connection with the research community by sharing news and highlights, as well as funding opportunities. Next month, you’ll hear from our new Chief Scientific Officer, Megan Bair-Merritt, MD. We are excited to welcome Megan to her new role and partner with her to support research operations at BMC.

The Heart of the Matter
|
Dr. Tina Yarrington Innovates for Postpartum Health Equity |
In a late January interview, Research Operations met with Dr. Christina Yarrington to hear her story of how she came to be a health equity researcher and what has led to her success.
|
Christina (Tina) D. Yarrington, MD, FACOG, is a living, breathing representation of Boston Medical Center’s mission: compassionate, progressive, action oriented, and, quite simply, exceptional. Not long after she joined BMC in 2008 for her residency, she observed a correlation between high rates of postpartum hypertension and readmission of Black, African American, Latina, and Hispanic patients. Little did she know that those early observations and subsequent years of clinical service would lead to federal research awards and accolades for her novel approaches to health care and science.
