Omar Gomez

As a motivated research assistant, my role is to coordinate and talk to the research team about our patient population. Most of the patients in this study speak the Spanish language. Being able to communicate in Spanish with the patients is one of the primary roles I am responsible for in this project.

Overall, my role in the project is to ensure patient understanding between patient and research team. Besides ensuring understanding between both patient and research team, I will take an active role and begin recruiting patients, conducting physical exams along with a medical student, and running samples when appropriate.
