Stanford School of Medicine student Jacqueline Baras Shreibati took home two of health service research's highest honors last month at a conference in Chicago.

Shreibati, who also received a health service research masters degree from Stanford, won the AcademyHealth's Student Poster Award. Her poster, "MRI Availability and Low Back Pain Care for Medicare Patients," was also named one of the four best abstracts submitted by students at the AcademyHealth's annual meeting, and her work was featured in a special panel of the top student projects.

Shreibati is completing her final year of medical school and has worked closely with Stanford Health Policy associate Laurence Baker. "The AcademyHealth meeting attracts a large group of strong projects from some of the best schools in the country," Baker said.  "To win the award really says something about the quality and importance of the work."
