Research on Access Disparities in Musculoskeletal Care: Dr. Mohanty’s recent study reveals significant disparities in musculoskeletal care, particularly for minority and rural populations. His findings show that primary care-based treatments could help patients avoid long waits and unnecessary costs. “Empowering primary care physicians to perform musculoskeletal procedures is a step toward health equity,” Dr. Mohanty notes. His research emphasizes the value of training programs in addressing access gaps.

Serving the Community Beyond the Clinic: Dr. Mohanty’s advocacy extends beyond his clinical work, volunteering in free clinics and promoting healthcare access. His commitment to underserved populations reflects his belief that all individuals deserve quality healthcare, a principle that guides his teaching and practice.
