The University Staff Advisory Committee has announced its leadership team for the 2024-2025 fiscal year, and that team includes Incoming Chair-Elect Alice Gaughan, MS, who is a second-year USAC member. The purpose of the committee is to provide a forum in which Ohio State staff, who number almost 30,000, can raise, discuss, and make recommendations to the University President and the President’s Cabinet members on current concerns and events. She will serve alongside Chair Tracey Boggs, a fourth-year USAC member and Leadership and Organizational Effectiveness Consultant with the Wexner Medical Center.
Dr. Sarah MacEwan, an assistant professor in the Division of General Internal Medicine, is the lead author for two new publications focusing on patient experiences and perspectives related to Long COVID. Dr. MacEwan and a team of faculty and staff members designed the qualitative studies; the first, titled "Patient Experiences Navigating Care Coordination For Long COVID: A Qualitative Study," looks at the experiences of patients as they sought care for COVID symptoms affecting their lives at three or more months after infection, while the second, titled "COVID-19 Vaccination Perspectives among Patients with Long COVID: A Qualitative Study," focuses on the varied views on vaccination among individuals with Long COVID. Both papers, supported by a grant from the National Cancer Institute, are open access and available to the public.
