Pasadena, CA
My name is Lucas Saporito, and I am a 3rd year student at Kaiser Permanente Bernard J Tyson School of Medicine in Pasadena, California. I spent most of my life in Arizona before heading across the country for my undergraduate studies at Duke University. While in North Carolina, I found joy in systems improvement at my on-campus recreation job. When I started medical school, I wanted to find similar ways to create systems change within the clinical environment. The e-Biopsy team at Kaiser Permanente Southern California took me under their wing and allowed me to get hands-on learning about how they use data and technology to change systems and improve adherence to best practices in medicine. I am currently working on my thesis project with the e-Biopsy team to assess how recent systems changes have affected provider decision making in diagnosing ectopic pregnancy. This is especially important to me since OBGYN is one of the few specialties I am considering for residency. I am very grateful to the e-Biopsy team for all their support and guidance throughout my 2 years working with them, and I am honored to share e-Biopsy's ectopic pregnancy work with you at SIDM 2022.
