Research Synopsis

Dr. Telner's research projects are diverse in topic. As a family physician at a large, community-based teaching site, her clinical practice areas are broad and this is reflected in her broad research interests. All research projects, while differing in topic, have a direct impact on either community-based clinical care or on family medicine education.
