"Law Enforcement As a Bridge between Bystanders and EMS in Cardiac Arrest"
Dr. Cohen is a resident physician in the department of emergency medicine at the University of Michigan. She has had a longstanding interest in community programming and health care advocacy, throughout her time as a registered nurse, during medical school, and throughout her residency training to date. Whether it be out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) outcomes, firearms injury prevention, or patient financial assistance, her efforts consistently demonstrate an overarching dedication to addressing health disparities. Her current work seeks to evaluate the OHCA response network within one Michigan county to determine if law enforcement may be an under-engaged first responder group and potential bridge to the arrival of EMS, particularly within medically underserved communities. More broadly, her career interests lie at the intersection of the clinical practice of academic emergency medicine, legislative advocacy, and data supported community interventions, to address inequities within health care systems.
