HUGE news! 👏🏾
In a move towards improved #HealthEquity, OPTN eliminated race from calculations that estimate the function of kidneys from deceased donors. @NationalMOTTEP board member @TPurnell1908 was instrumental in advocating for this policy change.

Such a pleasure to attend the annual William Pearce Symposium @NMSurgery and see NW ⭐️medical student @AtehFontehMed present our work on the time earned back by Black transplant patients due to the new race neutral eGFR calculation. #dismantlingstructuralracism

@YouGoChi @astronaia Absolutely loved my time in France. Was there for a year. It was a welcome break from American racism, though the French are far from perfect. Make sure to travel to the south, I love Marseilles. Enjoy the wine and food. Have some adventures. Take risks. You won’t regret it 🙏🏾

@YouGoChi Agree that stress is often stored as muscle tension! Jaw pain is real since many of us (myself included) clench in times of stress. Can’t speak to the validity of “years of trauma and negative feelings being released” tho. Pretty bold statement lol

Really important, timely, and powerful work by a dear friend and co-resident @UMichSurgery . This should be required reading in academic surgical spaces as we work to operationalize equitable mentorship.

So excited that ALL SAFE will now be the primary lap training curriculum at PAACS residency programs! Proud to be a part of this work ☺️🙌🏾 @ALLSAFE_Lap @UMichSurgery @3amazinggrace
On March 2-3, ALL-SAFE held two laparoscopic training courses, in collaboration with WACS, led by members of PAACS Leadership, Drs. Grace Kim, Peter Ekeh, and David Jeffcoach. As a result, WACS is adopting ALL-SAFE as the primary laparoscopic training platform.
