Clinical news Breaking virtual barriers in telemedicine [cid:image014.jpg@01D8B3E7.858C4790]At the start of the pandemic, the number of patients who used telemedicine for their medical needs skyrocketed. However, the ease of use that many patients love about telemedicine isn't always that way for other patients, specifically patients who have limited access to technology or limited proficiency in technology or those who prefer a language other than English. Dr. Adam Jayne-Jensen, clinical assistant professor (General Internal Medicine) and associate medical director for UW Medicine Primary Care, explains that equal access is important because telemedicine offers the ability to provide better care, expands the range of topics you can cover in a visit, and overall adds more value. "Compared to a phone visit, which is the main alternative to telemedicine, a video visit allows for more connection to the patient," he says. While there are several barriers that should be addressed to create equitable access for all patients, the UW Medicine the Digital Health Office is beginning specifically with outreach to patients in their language to focus on that barrier.

James McCabe and Zachary Steinberg]Interventional cardiologists at the UW Medicine Heart Institute recently performed a first-in-human procedure, successfully employing a catheter-delivered device to retrieve a benign tumor from inside a patient's heart. Drs. James McCabe and Zachary Steinberg (Cardiology) collaborated on the case. The minimally invasive procedure took just 30 minutes and the patient avoided the open-heart surgery typically required for such a tumor removal, as well as the significantly longer recovery. "I think we just saved (the patient) a lot of money and anxiety. He went home the same day. We didn't need to put him on a heart-lung machine, and he didn't spend five days in the hospital. And now he is not waiting another two years until his tricuspid valve suddenly stops working," said McCabe.

Research news Meth use fueling overdose epidemic in rural U.S. communities [cid:image020.jpg@01D8B3E7.858C4790]Methamphetamine remains a stubbornly prevalent illicit substance in large swaths of rural America, according to a new study. The findings, published this week in JAMA Network Open, show that methamphetamine remains a common drug and is driving overdoses in rural communities. About four of five people who use drugs in rural areas across 10 states reported using methamphetamines in the past 30 days. Drs.

Education news Investing in the health of Latinx communities [cid:image025.jpg@01D8B96D.9F81FE20]The Latinx Health Pathway (LHP) was one of the first Pathways established in 2008 to help medical students provide culturally humble care for Latinx communities. Dr. Daniel Cabrera, clinical associate professor (General Internal Medicine), assistant program director, assistant student clerkship director and interim associate chair for DEI, has directed the pathway since 2016. Cabrera says he?s always been interested in working with Latinx communities, in large part because of his experiences as the son of an undocumented single mother. ?When I was growing up, I didn?t have access to a lot of healthcare. There were times when we didn?t have insurance and we had to get care at free clinics. That planted the seed for me. I wanted to provide that kind of care to patients, especially Latinx patients,? he says. He says he knows the LHP is making a difference as the majority of students in the pathway end up practicing in communities where there are a majority of Latinx people. Read the full story from UW Medicine. ________________________________ [cid:image026.jpg@01D8B96D.9F81FE20]Dr. Markus Boos, adjunct associate professor (Dermatology) will be the new director of the Dermatology Residency Training Program, effective September 1, 2022.
