Caitlin Newhouse, MD, MPH

UCLA

I worked on projects/presentations related to communication of USPSTF work with other federal agencies, a dissemination/education project and provided technical assistance to the development of a final recommendation statement. I chose AHRQ as a rotation in my Preventive Medicine Training because I wanted experience working in governmental public health at the federal level. I had the opportunity to learn a bit about how AHRQ interacts with some of the other federal agencies (especially NIH) and learned technical skills in evidence review and analysis. I learned how to formulate detailed plans for reviewing evidence around clinical topics and the importance of scope in topic selection and prioritization.
