EDI news
Say my name: The importance of name pronunciation
[cid:image030.jpg at 01D8DA68.7DF8F030]Names matter, and the way we treat them has impact. Research shows that our brains “light up” when we hear our name, while mispronunciation can lead to feelings of isolation and alienation.

The first step in creating an inclusive workplace culture is learning your colleagues' names. Learn more about the importance of name pronunciation, including personal stories by Drs. Geetanjali Chander, Başak Çoruh, Barbara Jung, and Genevieve Pagalilauan on our news site<https://bit.ly/3V4NwIa>.

Resources on inclusion, including help with name pronunciations (and many other topics), are available on our website, in our newly updated EDI Resources<https://bit.ly/3Cbkjm9> section.


Faculty news
Physician Assistants key to improving health care access
[cid:image031.jpg at 01D8DA68.7DF8F030]Leah Yoke, PA-C, MCHS, is a teaching associate in the Division of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. In honor of Physician Assistant week, she wrote an op-ed<https://bit.ly/3V8Cd1O> advocating for continued modernization of health care laws that allow for greater patient access and care.

She says our health care system is facing a “perfect storm.” Demand for medical providers is outpacing supply. More than 96 million Americans lack adequate access to primary care and more than 155 million Americans lack access to mental health care. Add to that health care worker shortages, a growing aging population, shifting percentages of chronic diseases, and the lingering effects of COVID-19.

“To ensure that every patient has access to and receives the high-quality care that they need when they need it, it’s essential that our existing health care workforce can practice to the full extent of their education, training and experience. Physician assistants, also known as PAs, are part of this medical team that must be used fully in order to meet the demands of today’s modern health care needs.”


Education news
Fellow spotlight: Justin Bullock
[cid:image032.jpg at 01D8DA68.7DF8F030]Nephrology fellow Justin Bullock has managed bipolar disorder and depression in part by sharing his story and listening to others. He is a suicide survivor who’s lived life openly with bipolar disorder and depression. And he’s a gay man who wasn’t accepted by his family when he came out to them. Some of his experiences are difficult. But he also knows he’s not alone.

“I think the biggest thing that I just really want to say over and over and over again is that I don't think that my struggle with mental illness is special in any way,” Bullock said. “Every time that I've spoken — and I've spoken a lot of times at this point — there's always someone who comes up to me who shares some aspect of my experience, whether it's themselves directly, whether it's their sibling, a best friend. And I think this concept of suffering and mental illness is just extremely prevalent.”

Research news
[cid:image033.jpg at 01D8DA68.7DF8F030]Researchers, including Drs. Neelendu Dey, assistant professor and William Grady, professor (Gastroenterology) have received funding from the NIH for their project “Understanding Adenoma Progression: Interplay Among Tissue Microenvironment, Clonal Architecture, and Gut Microbiome.” Learn more on our news site<https://bit.ly/3C5h9jN>.

[cid:image035.jpg at 01D8DA68.7DF8F030]Dr. Masaoki Kawasumi, assistant professor (Dermatology) received the New Investigator Award from the American Society for Photobiology. This award recognizes an individual performing promising quality research in the fields of photomedicine, photobiology, photochemistry, and/or photophysics performed at a relatively early stage in an investigator's career.

[cid:image037.jpg at 01D8DA68.7DF8F030]Dr. Ellen Schur, professor (General Internal Medicine) has received funding from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) for more than $1 million over 3 years for a new project titled “Assessing the effect of diet on hypothalamic gliosis in humans.” This project uses MRI to evaluate the hypothalamus for signs of inflammation due to diets high in calories, fat, and/or sugar. This may lead to a better understanding of whether poor nutrition quality leads to obesity through effects on body-weight regulating areas of the brain.
