Grateful for your mentorship🥹 @carlos_saldana0 We had so many great conversations about Jornada's impact on both students and patients! Entering 2025 ready to grow our program -- stay tuned! @EmoryMedicine #AAMC24

I am biased; but this is probably the best poster I’ve seen in a while #AAMC24. @sarahgsam and M.E Cunningham et al. share the operations and educational impact of ‘Jornada de Salud’ our reinvigorated student-led clinic proving free screenings in faith settings.

We had TWO (dos) national posters at #AAMC24 this year! On the educational impact of both, the ‘Emory Farm Worker Project’ and ‘Jornada de Salud’. These programs prioritize underserved communities in Georgia @CarlosdelRio7 @Jlguest @EmoryRollins @EmoryDeptofMed @EmoryMedicine

Proud of my fellow coordinators! They've worked so hard for our patients, and I'm glad we got to show off the educational impact of Jornada de Salud at #24DOMResearchDay! @EmoryMedicine @EmoryEmpact @LmsaSoutheast

Want to know why I have a decreased appetite for prophylactic total gastrectomy? Read my commentary in @JCOPO_ASCO that synthesizes data on surveillance, long-term outcomes of prophylactic surgery, and lifetime cancer risk due to #CDH1. ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/PO… @JCO_ASCO @theNCI


We did it!!! Entering our new era of language concordant, inter-professional health screening for the Latinx community of metro Atlanta. 🤓 @LmsaNational @EmoryMedicine #HispanicHeritageMonth #nationallatinophysicianday

And we’re back with ‘Jornada de Salud’! Our MD/PA student-run clinic is offering free health screenings to Latino/a/es in a supportive, faith-based setting. So proud of this incredible team! 🙌 @sarahgsam @DocWoc71 @CarlosdelRio7

10/We are extremely #lucky to receive the first-ever #GastricCancer #U01 research grant funded by @theNCI at @MDAndersonNews! Even more incredible, it's the largest and only gastric cancer U01 grant funded by @theNCI @NIH in over 20 years, excluding a few population-based studies

Proud to share this major collaborative effort with everyone. I will share my thanks at the end of this thread. But first, I want to share some key points to take away from this paper on #cancer risk due to #CDH1...

Among individuals with a CDH1 gene variant, the risk of gastric cancer was lower than previously described, while risk of female breast cancer was similar to previous estimates. ja.ma/4enFwMc

Latest @CDCgov HIV Surveillance Report indicates that over FIVE years, unlike other groups, NOTHING has changed in terms of HIV incidence for Hispanic/Latinos. If anything, we had more cases in 2022 than 2021. Let me tell you, 2023 was no better.
