I researched PTSD among Black women in America. Within this project, I created an Instagram page that offers the opportunity to learn, explore, navigate, and understand what PTSD may look like for women and marginalized groups without closing off that information to a broader population.

For my Health & Medical Humanities capstone project, I recorded an entertaining and informative TikTok video marketed towards a wellness group that works to decrease the incidence of high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and obesity in African American women. To address “Sisters in Motion” in a fun and effective way, I brought in three mock professionals from different backgrounds to suggest improving different areas of our lives that will decrease the possibilities of encountering these chronic illnesses.

I did my Health & Medical Humanities Capstone Project on the health of people without housing. Within this project, I wrote a research paper on the health issues of people without housing and translated this into an oral presentation. Additionally, I made an Infographic explaining ways to help the health of people without housing from my research.

Many stigmas about mental health in the U.S. keep people at a distance. During the COVID-19 pandemic (Summer 2021), this film was created with great concern for the future of our world and nation's healthcare system to showcase the empirical knowledge of those inside the mental healthcare and healthcare systems through dialogue.

Throughout my last semester of college at UNC Charlotte (Spring 2022), I researched the topic of mindfulness in healthcare for my minor in Health & Medical Humanities. I looked at all the benefits of incorporating mindfulness into physicians' practices and how it can improve chronic pain and the side effects of cancer. I formed a website with all of the information I found under Dr. Margaret Quinlan's supervision and gave many examples of how you can practice mindfulness in your everyday life. Link to my website.

For my HHUM Capstone project, I chose the topic of my interest, maternal and infant mortality. Structural racism in the United States shows insufficient access and inferior quality of care for black women. Healthcare providers should be very attentive to all races, no matter the color of their skin. I created a Change.org petition under the supervision of Dr. Amber Knight to provide knowledge on maternal and infant mortality. After graduation, I would like to advocate for African Americans on specific racial disparity issues, which continue to rise daily. I created an e-portfolio.

Cassie Camp
Cassie is a junior Nursing major at Charlotte with a double minor in Health & Medical Humanities and Spanish. Dr. Teresa Scheid was her advisor for her capstone project during Summer 2022. Her capstone focuses on errors in the medical field and how healthcare providers should fight to change them. It highlights patients as whole beings instead of a diagnosis, fighting for more diversity in the workplace, and the importance of older adults in our society. You can view her PowerPoint here.

For my Capstone Portfolio for my HHUM minor, I researched Adverse Childhood Experiences and the benefits of understanding what they are and how one may be exposed to them. I also wanted to express how common it is for individuals to suffer from ACEs and how they can connect with those around them who may understand. You can view her website here.
