MBTI's goal of training the next generation of physician-scientists is possible in part because of support like the NREF Research Fellowship Grant, recently awarded to Mark Youngblood, MD, PhD. Listen to Dr. Youngblood talk about the #meningioma project this grant enabled during his Northwestern Department of Neurological Surgery residency below.

🎙 Debol_Daily with Dr. Birhanu A. Ayana, MD, Assistant professor of OBGYN, Uro-gynecologist & pelvic reconstructive surgeon at UGHE_Rwanda, Former CEO of Zewuditu Memorial Hospital, Former UoG staff. Debol Q#2 . Is the future promising for medical students and residents? Dr.Birhanu "I firmly believe that medicine is a rewarding and noble profession, and only the fortunate can pursue it. Despite financial constraints, you can find happiness and achieve international competence, provided you are determined and work hard. However, I don't want to deceive myself or anyone else. We are not isolated; we are affected by everything happening in the country. It pains me to see how quickly things are deteriorating in Ethiopia. Given the economic crises and escalating security concerns, it is hard for me to foresee a promising future. I know everyone is concerned, but most of us are unsure how to contribute positively to reversing the frightening course our country is on. Frankly, it is hard to see something promising or bright for anyone at this moment." Dr. @Birhanu A. Ayana, MD, Assistant professor of OBGYN, Uro-gynecologist & pelvic reconstructive surgeon at UGHE_Rwanda, Former CEO of Zewuditu Memorial Hospital, Former UoG staff.

Dr. Rita Popat, PhD, MS, a CARE faculty member, recently published a paper titled “Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Intensity of Care at the End of Life for Patients With Lung Cancer: A 13-Year Population-Based Study” in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. This study examines disparities in end-of-life care for lung cancer patients. The study found that in the last 14 days before death, Asian Pacific Islander (API), Black, and Hispanic patients with lung cancer had higher rates of hospital and ICU admissions, intubation, CPR, and hemodialysis, and were more likely to die in a hospital or emergency department (ED) compared to Non-Hispanic White (NHW) patients. These groups also experienced more intense end-of-life (EOL) care. Future research should focus on developing strategies to eliminate these racial and ethnic disparities in end-of-life care delivery.
