Shresta Mari-Gowda, MS; Flaura Winston, MD, PhD

I worked on a project measuring child seat belt fits in accident-prone vehicles in an effort to help design a safer seat belt for children. My mentors taught me the importance of professionalism and multidisciplinary teamwork in solving complex healthcare-related problems.

CIRP Co-op (2009)

"During my time at the Center for Injury Research and Prevention (CIRP) at CHOP,  I worked on a project measuring child seat belt fits in accident-prone vehicles in an effort to help design a safer seat belt for children. My mentors, Shresta Mari-Gowda, MS and Dr. Flaura Winston, taught me the importance of professionalism and multidisciplinary teamwork in solving complex healthcare-related problems. I am now in my second year of medical school and am confident that the lessons I learned at CIRP will continue to serve me throughout my future career."
