Team KiPOW Orange County

I know these are the wrong images. These are placeholders.

In 2015, Team KiPOW (Kid Power!) started in Orange County, California after Dr. Nisha Narayanan met Drs. Hillary Zieve and Nikita Nagpal during their training at the UC Irvine/CHOC Pediatric Residency program.  Their shared passion for advocacy and research led to a 10-week pilot study at Helen Estock Elementary School in Tustin, CA.  Using resources from Team KiPOW DC, and with support from UC Irvine School of Medicine, the UC Irvine Department of Pediatrics, CHOC Children’s Hospital and AAP Orange County Chapter 4, the pilot study demonstrated that Team KiPOW is feasible and sustainable in a setting outside of the DC area, and can results in positive physiological outcomes in just 10 weeks!

Team KiPOW OC has been working with the Tustin Unified School District yearly since 2015, including a virtual learning experience during the 2020-2021 school year. Team KiPOW OC is a registered student organization under UC Irvine and the UCI School of Medicine, led by an energetic team of UCI medical students as well as pre-health and undergraduate students. Team KiPOW OC conducts research with approval from the UCI IRB.
