Funded/In Review Grant Activity: Other Scholarly Products: Research Activity: Scholarship of Discovery: In Process Empathy and Willingness to Serve the Medially Indigent: this study uses two established instruments with excellent research characteristics to measure both cross-sectional and longitudinal changes in students in the following professions: Physical Therapy, Medicine, Veterinary Medicine and Law. In each of these professions I have a co-investigator in that profession. My co-investigator for all studies is Dr. Sonia Crandall at Wake Forest University who originated the standardized instrument, which measures willingness to serve the medially indigent. The goal is to document student changes within each profession and between professions. While the research topics of each instrument are of primary interest, the strong correlations with clinical competency make the studies of even great interest. The longitudinal study in Physical Therapy ended in 2010 and is in queue for publication of the cross-sectional analysis and includes Duke University, Mount Saint Mary s College, University of Colorado, University of Nebraska, Washington University and Chapman University. The longitudinal studies in all other professions ended in 2011 and analysis is underway. The data analysis of the matched pairs in physical therapy is complete and we are preparing the manuscript for publication.
