Second-year medical student and 2025 SOAR participant Preston Harrison recently published a first-author article, highlighting his work in orthopedic research focused on reducing occupational radiation exposure among surgical staff. His research advances operating room safety and provider well-being.
"My work in orthopedic research focuses on understanding and reducing occupational radiation exposure among surgical staff, with the goal of improving long-term safety in the operating room. Under the mentorship of Dr. Tyler Gonzalez, I have contributed to efforts that prioritize both clinical excellence and provider well-being," Preston added. "This research reflects a commitment to protecting those who deliver care as much as those who receive it."
