Carolyn M. Sommerich

Carolyn M. Sommerich studies workplace ergonomics and occupational health, with a strong focus on musculoskeletal disorders and burnout among healthcare workers who use ultrasound equipment, such as sonographers and vascular technologists. Her work examines how job design, equipment, and work systems contribute to physical injury, stress, and well-being, and explores training methods (including simulation-based education) for imaging professionals. This research combines ergonomics, human factors engineering, and healthcare workforce studies to propose practical solutions for reducing workplace harm.

Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade, with periodic peaks (e.g., 2017, 2018, 2021, 2023) and dips (e.g., 2019, 2022), suggesting a variable but sustained rate of activity rather than steady growth or decline.
