Through her leadership roles, Dr. Arora enables incoming medical students to participate in longitudinal mentored scholarly projects. She also is working to ensure residents from all specialties are integrated into hospital quality initiatives.
An accomplished researcher, Dr. Arora has served as the principal investigator of numerous federal and foundation research grants. Most notably, Dr. Arora has developed tools to evaluate handoff quality among hospitalists and residents. She also is investigating the effect of sleep loss on hospitalized patients and working to create novel interventions to optimize patient experience in hospitals through workplace learning and systems change. Through R-01 funding, Dr. Arora is studying the impact of a novel social media intervention to boost interest of minority youth into medical research careers. Dr. Arora's work has been funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality, the National Institutes on Aging and the American Sleep Medicine Foundation.
Dr. Arora's academic work has resulted in dozens of peer-reviewed publications and has been recognized with awards from the Society of Hospital Medicine, Society of General Internal Medicine, Association of Program Directors of Internal Medicine, and the Association of American Medical Colleges.
