Sayuri Inoue, MD, MPP

Stony Brook General Preventive Medicine Residency Program

During my rotation, I had the opportunity to observe and assist with a variety of tasks to support the work of the United States Preventive Task Force (USPSTF).
The projects I assisted with included fact-checking recommendation statements and drafting the feature titled “Putting Prevention into Practice” (PPIP) to be
published in the American Family Physician journal. In addition, I had the opportunity to review a draft report.

I gained a deeper understanding of and appreciation for the USPSTF recommendations. In addition, I had the opportunity to practice a variety of skills and receive valuable feedback in many areas, such as critical review of a journal article, presentation, peer review of a journal article, and drafting questions for PPIP. I chose preventive medicine because it can create a positive impact for a population on a large scale, and address health disparities. I was grateful to be part of the Agency of Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) USPSTF team and I am inspired by their work.
