Research Experience and Grant Work
2002: Research Assistant, College of Education, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX. I
prepared background research for contract with Texas Education Association (TEA), conducted
focus groups, transcribed and analyzed data, and wrote extensive reports as instructed by TEA.
Publication on the TAMU website and one conference paper resulted from the study in addition to
the contracted reports written for TEA.
2001: On-site project manager at the Family Practice Residency of the Brazos Valley for PPIP
(Putting Prevention into Practice) program funded by a TDH (Texas Department of Health) Grant
awarded to Dr. Alicia M. Dorsey, Texas A&M School of Rural Public Health. The purpose of the
program has been to train residents in a specific prevention program, tobacco use cessation. My
responsibilities have included training residents in the program, observing (through a video/camera
room) resident-patient interactions to determine if more prevention talk has been incorporated in
the medical encounter, and following-up with residents. I have also trained the nursing staff in the
prevention program and will be collecting data this fall with patients, residents, clinic faculty
members, nurses, and administrators in order to evaluate the impacts and effects of the PPIP
program. I also have been taping resident-patient interactions at the clinic and have been
evaluating residents on their communication skills, providing feedback to the preceptors. Medical
evaluations from preceptors along with my communication evaluations are used to determine
residents’ renewal for another year in the residency program. Additionally, I review the
communication evaluations with residents and work with them to improve their patient
interactions.
2000-01: Awarded Faculty Mini-Grant from Texas A&M University for $1,500 for “Physician-
Patient Interactions and Patient Wishes: Communication as a Process for Uncovering and
Accomplishing Patient Goals.” The purpose of this grant was to fund research assistants to help
with the transcription of doctor-patient interactions that were audio recorded at the Bryan/College
Station Scott & White Clinic.

To Whom It May Concern:
I write this letter to recommend Jacqueline Barnett for the advertised position in your department.
As Jacqueline’s former supervisor about 8 years ago, I have reviewed her teaching evaluations and peer evaluation during
her 1-year temporary appointment at Penn State University, York campus. Jacqueline’s quantitative student evaluations
at Penn State were far above average and quite good, especially for the health communication course that has never been
taught at this campus. Qualitative comments from her students included, “This was my favorite course at Penn State and
I’m a senior” and “The course provided a comfortable atmosphere in which to learn and exchange ideas.”
Jacqueline’s peer evaluation by senior faculty member Leonard Berkowitz provided extremely positive feedback
regarding her teaching style and interaction with students. His comments indicated that her preferred method of
instruction is discussion combined with encouraging students to think and provide commentary on readings. Through
PowerPoint, handouts, and probes, students were encouraged to think and comment on their reading assignments during
his observation.
Jacqueline also has been working on several manuscripts despite her heavy teaching loads that she has been carrying at
the community college. She is excited to get back to teaching at a 4-year institution and to doing the applied research she
loves.
On a personal note, Jacqueline strikes me as a dedicated teacher and researcher with a positive outlook. I think she would
work with others on committees and on projects. I strongly recommend Jacqueline for the academic position.
Sincerely,
Joseph P. McCormick, 2nd
