Dr. Sanchez Rodriguez will spend her fellowship year at Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia Hospital in Lima, Peru under the mentorship of Patricia Garcia, MD, MPH, PhD, Evelyn Hsieh, MD, PhD, and Eleanor Reid MD, MSc, PhD. Her research will focus on assessing the needs and barriers to palliative care services in emergency department settings in Lima, Perú.

Dr. Sanchez Rodriguez is an Emergency Medicine Physician at Yale University. She aspires to evaluate and implement strategies to improve palliative and end of life care in Emergency Medicine units in Latin America. Her largest influence stems from her experience as an Emergency Medicine Resident in her home, Puerto Rico. Limited resources and organization often hindered physician ability to provide comprehensive and sensible care to patients nearing their end of life.
