Research Coordinator
Prisma Health Upstate, South Carolina, United States
Sam NcGarby (they/them/theirs), BS NRP is a Research Coordinator and Paramedic with Prisma Health in Greenville, SC. They have been working in healthcare for 6 years and completed their BS in Emergency and Disaster Management from Western Carolina University, while working full time in EMS, as COVID hit the U.S. In 2021 they transitioned to a research coordinator position within Prisma Health for the Emergency Department Alternatives to Opioids study. Their research interests and goals include improving patient outcomes and reducing risk of addiction as well as improving SGM care in the pre-hospital and emergency setting. As a research coordinator, they're responsible for ensuring the study functions as planned and are deeply involved in every aspect of the project. Their experiences inform their approach to research and patient care, providing them with a unique view of both, as a queer person who grew up and provides care exclusively in the south. In their spare time they enjoy hiking, riding motorcycles, video and board games, and performing stand-up comedy. Just don't ask them to tell you a joke.
