The Healthcare Improvement and Innovation in Quality (THINQ) Collaborative is a group of undergraduate and graduate students working alongside physicians at Ronald Reagan and Santa Monica UCLA Medical Center to conduct quality improvement (QI) clinical research and implement QI modeling towards betterment of patient care quality. We are currently the only group across UCLA that focuses on QI research and hands-on optimizations that directly impacts UCLA Health alongside the support of the Department of Medicine Quality at UCLA Health.

Many of our current research projects span many components in QI, including but not limited to AI Scribing, Discharge and Care Transitions and Medication Reconciliation, Physician Burnout, UCLA Bridge Clinic, and Interpreter Use (Intersectionality). 

We have had previous opportunities to present at several national undergraduate research conferences and submit manuscripts to research journals of varying impact factors. Additionally, we offer hands-on mentorship, leadership opportunities, professional development events, and opportunities to analyze medicine through intersectional perspectives.
