Sarah A. Paul is a PhD candidate in Public Policy at UNC Charlotte, where she employs advanced quantitative and experimental methods to tackle critical issues in health policy. With a unique background in financial risk management and compliance, she brings a pragmatic lens to analyzing systemic challenges in healthcare. Her current research examines the intersection of clinician burnout, patient perceptions, and preventive care utilization. She will present findings from a national experiment demonstrating the extreme negative effects of physician burnout on patient ratings and how an individual's political ideology moderates their tolerance for burnout-related behaviors, with critical insight for policymakers aiming to design effective structural reforms and communication training programs to improve healthcare quality and safety.
