Darcy C. Engelhart began her CREST internship while an undergraduate at the University of California, San Diego, where she stayed on for a master's degree in biology. With CREST she helped discover that pulmonary embolism patients who present with presyncope have similarly elevated risks as those with full syncope. Darcy began medical school in 2020 at California Northstate University of Medicine in Sacramento and continues to work with CREST. Her current projects include a study of decision rules for advanced imaging in ED patients with suspected ureteral colic and a study of RV strain measurements on CTPA. She will be pursuing a residency in child neurology.
