Joyce interned with Lunthitha Duthley, Data Manager at the University of
Miami Jackson Memorial Dominion Towers Complex center for OB/ GYN research.
Lunthitha Duthley studies pregnancies for HIV/AIDS patients. The primary
purpose of this research is to ensure that fewer children are infected with
HIV after birth, through the introduction of various treatments which help
decrease the mother's pre-birth viral load. Joyce also interned with Faith
Doyle, who is a Registered Nurse at the Jackson Memorial
Hospital. This research tests whether the intra-vaginal MISO pill is better
than a D+C, which is the normal procedure for cleansing the mother's
reproductive system after the occurrence of a miscarriage, This cleansing
also helps prevents cervical infections.
