In Episode 16, we continue our series of conversations with Gold Student Summer Fellows who each embarked on a summer research or service project to magnify humanism in healthcare and help address health inequities. These are fascinating projects created by medical students to make a difference and grow their skills as future compassionate, relationship-centered physicians.
In this next conversation in our Gold Student Summer Fellows series, Gold Assistant Director of Program Initiatives Michelle Sloane interviews Mollie Marr, PhD, who is a 2022 Gold Student Summer Fellow and a medical student in the Medical Scientist Training Program at the Oregon Health & Sciences University School of Medicine. Through her service project, titled “Creating a care pathway for children and adolescents presenting with self-harm or suicidality,” Mollie created and piloted a vast array of resources for youth in acute care settings. In collaboration with a team from social work, nursing, and child and adolescent psychiatry, along with input from patients themselves, Mollie developed psychoeducational materials, individualized trauma-informed plans, therapeutic interventions including motor breaks, and staff training materials, each geared to support adolescents, their families, and an interprofessional team of caregivers.

Her PhD is in Behavioral and Systems Neuroscience, and her dissertation examined the intergenerational transmission of childhood maltreatment. She plans to be a child and adolescent psychiatrist.
