Jennifer Lacarriere has been featured widely for her healthcare advocacy and for her discussions surrounding important US healthcare topics.
“It’s my dream in the future to establish a private teaching hospital with a bridge program for graduate students to volunteer in impoverished regions and lesser economically developed countries,” says Lacarriere.
Published literature on the topic in The Milbank Quarterly provides rigorous supporting information that validates the need for teaching hospitals, Jennifer Lacarriere’s eventual mission. While teaching hospitals have previously been disputed by US policy makers and establishing one may be fraught with challenges, there’s a sound case to be made for them.
“The most rigorous peer-reviewed studies published between 1985 and 2001 that assessed quality of care by hospital-teaching status in the United States provide moderately strong evidence of better quality and lower risk-adjusted mortality in major teaching hospitals for elderly patients with common conditions such as acute myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, and pneumonia,” assert Ayanian and Weissman in their review, Teaching hospitals and quality of care: a review of the literature.
While establishing a teaching hospital is a particular long-term goal of Jennifer Lacarreiere, she says that small actions towards that goal will make it a reality.
“One thing I’ve learned since applying to NYU, getting accepted and going on to have a tremendously positive career in healthcare, is that one step at a time, you can create the future you’ve always wanted.”
Princess Margaret is a notable teaching hospital, and they provide direct insight into what a teaching hospital truly is. Dedicated to training the next generation of health care professionals, they are a place for medical students to become doctors, or for doctors to become specialists.
Teaching hospitals like Princess Margaret provide valuable practical experience. Nurses, pharmacists, research professionals, social workers and other health care professionals are able to receive hands-on training and practical experience at teaching hospitals. They gain education and experience in a secured and controlled environment.
“They get to learn under the supervision of senior clinicians,” says Jennifer Lacarriere.
While her goal of establishing a teaching hospital is far into the future, Lacarriere continues to engage in discussion about accessible healthcare, advocating for higher quality US healthcare.
She also has extensive experience as a healthcare professional as well as an invaluable communicator and facilitator in healthcare settings.
“I will work with investors to bring in top quality medical supplies and care in the regions that need it most, bringing care to children and nursing mothers,” says Lacarriere.
A self-proclaimed lifelong learner, Lacarriere has committed her personal life and career to creating better healthcare outcomes for all. From the maternity ward to the cardiac unit, Lacarriere has worked tirelessly and around the clock to better the lives of patients.
“It was recently that I decided I could do more and help more people, not only through healthcare advocacy, but by showing people their true potential and that they too can have a fulfilling career in healthcare. I want to help people believe in themselves, and if healthcare resonates with them, I want them to pursue it.”
Jennifer Lacarriere’s inclination to do more outside of her already busy job has been paying off already. Her focus on building a better healthcare system is significant and newsworthy, resulting in her being featured globally for her healthcare advocacy initiatives.
“With the way things are going, I have high hopes for the future, and high expectations that come with it,” says Lacarriere, who adds that this work is her life mission.
“While it’s a lot of work, it energizes me,” says Lacarriere.
