Dr. Moe Hagman is the program director for the Boise Internal Medicine Residency Program. Currently, residents in the UW Boise Internal Medicine Residency spend all three years of their training in Boise, highlighting a dedication to training physicians for Idaho and its neighboring states - and the shift seems to be working, with 60% of residents in the program staying in Idaho to practice and 15% practicing in neighboring states. The opportunities for residents training at the VA are also unique. The VA is a managed care system in which a patient and their clinician can decide what a patient would like to have for their care and then make it happen.

Research news New PNW COVID vaccine study [cid:image011.jpg@01D87CEA.DFE13720]Pacific Northwest researchers will soon begin enrolling 3,500 children and adults to participate in the CASCADIA study to assess how well COVID-19 vaccines protect against infection in the community. While individuals ages 6 months to 49 years will be included in the study, the primary goal of the study is to assess how well COVID-19 vaccines protect children ages 5 to 18 years. Researchers will also evaluate infections among all participants, young and old, vaccinated and unvaccinated, to better understand the role that viral variants have in infection and the effect of risk factors, such as age, health status and sociodemographic characteristics. Testing will also be done for flu and other viruses. At $78 million, the work is one of the larger studies the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is funding, said Dr. Helen Chu, associate professor (Allergy and Infectious Diseases) who's co-leading the research. "This information will be vital for understanding how well vaccines work in the community over time, how long immunity lasts, and when boosters will be needed," she said.

Laura Crisa, associate professor (Metabolism, Endocrinology & Nutrition) and Farid Moussavi-Harami, assistant professor (Cardiology) have received prestigious awards from the John H. Tietze Foundation Trust that will help fuel promising research underway in their labs. With the John H. Tietze Stem Cell Scientist Award, the Crisa Lab will use tissue-chip technology to investigate mechanisms of resistance to metabolic stress in human stem cell-derived pancreatic islet cells. The researchers hope the findings will inform more effective transplant therapies for type 1 diabetes and other degenerative diseases. The Jaconette L. Tietze Young Scientist Award will allow the Moussavi-Harami lab to engineer a new stem cell tool to directly measure sarcomere calcium levels in cardiomyopathy cells and in the presence of genetic mutations and medications that alter contractility. The goal is to better understand the mechanisms by which abnormal calcium levels contribute to cardiomyopathies.

McGee, MD Teaching Excellence Award [cid:image021.png@01D8826B.415216C0]Congratulations to Dr. Elizabeth Parsons, associate professor (Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine), this year's recipient of the Steven R. McGee, MD Teaching Excellence Award. She was selected for her outstanding clinical and teaching skills in sleep medicine and her record of scholarship. Dr. Parsons directs the national VA ECHO-Sleep Medicine educational program and is nationally recognized for her scholarship in sleep medicine. This award was created in recognition of Dr. McGee's unique contributions as a master clinician educator and role model dedicated to exceptional patient care and teaching of students, residents, fellows and colleagues; pursuit of knowledge; and the art of physical examination and bedside diagnosis. Education news Spotlight on resident research: Adherence to Chronic Hepatitis B Screening Guidelines for Persons from Intermediate/High Prevalence Countries Chronic Hepatitis (Hep) B infection disproportionately affects low- and middle-income countries such as those in South East Asia and Africa. The CDC recommends a single blood test for Hepatitis B virus for anyone born in a region with 2% or greater prevalence. This screening guideline is relevant for a large immigrant population in Seattle. [A person in a white shirt and red tie Description automatically generated with low confidence]Together with Dr. H. Nina Kim, Dr. Ermias Ejara, R3, performed a retrospective study of guideline adherence among adults treated within UW affiliated primary care clinics between 2016 and 2019. A study of local medical records showed low likelihood of guideline-concordant screening for Hepatitis B and high prevalence of infection among those screened. This research highlights a need for new strategies to meet this important care gap for communities like the East African community in Seattle, to which Dr. Ejara belongs.

Research news Rideshare-based pilot program for colonoscopy screening patients [cid:image020.jpg@01D887EA.1A3B98C0]Transportation is a common barrier to colonoscopy completion for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, and Dr. Rachel Issaka, assistant professor (Gastroenterology) is leading the charge to fix this. She is senior author on a study published recently in Frontiers of Health Services that aims to identify the barriers, facilitators, and process recommendations to implement a rideshare non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) intervention following colonoscopy completion within a safety-net healthcare setting. "Dr. Issaka's research is motivated by the goal to reduce racial and socioeconomic disparities and improve outcomes in Colorectal Cancer (CRC) by increasing access to screening," explains Ari Bell-Brown, a Project Manager and first-author on the study. This study focused on implementing NEMT at Harborview Medical Center, and a contract was recently signed to pilot the rideshare. If successful, the rideshare model could be broadly applicable to other safety-net health systems, populations with high social needs, and settings where procedural sedation is administered.
