Rachel Solnick is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. She is an emergency physician and health services researcher with an interest in health equity, access and sexual and reproductive health. Her work has focused on the implementation of evidence-based practices to improve sexual health through increased access to treatment of sexually transmitted infections via expedited partner therapy (EPT), and more recently, on emergency department initiation of HIV prevention via pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) counseling and prescribing. She has used her formal training in healthcare research and social epidemiology to plan and conduct national surveys, quality improvement initiatives, qualitative evaluations, and electronic health record innovations. Through her research projects she has developed collaborative partnerships with state and local health departments. Projects
