Research
Dr. Vakharia?s interests are focused on improving health care delivery for young adults with chronic endocrine conditions as they transition to the adult health care setting and understanding the gaps in endocrine providers? knowledge and resources for caring for complex young adult patients. She has designed a novel care model for young adults with diabetes that focuses on patients? diabetes care, mental health, and overall well-being as they transition to the adult care setting. Dr. Vakharia has conducted a mixed methods pilot feasibility study on this model and plans to continue with quality improvement, observational, and qualitative studies to better understand how to support and enhance comprehensive care for young adults with diabetes and other chronic endocrine conditions.
