A must read! This timely & important article on #diversity and #incluson in #gastroenterology: “How do we enhance diversity in GI? Create an environment that “recognizes and mitigates implicit biases, actively address racism and the structural forces that produce inequities...”
Today Brigham Health held a vigil in memory of #GeorgeFloyd. Organized by internal medicine residents, we reflected on the injustice of systemic and individual racism in America, and affirmed our commitment to confronting & rooting out racism in our own lives and at the Brigham.
Does #COVID19 cause pancreatic injury (as suggested in report from China)?
Our new study in #AmJGastro: among hospitalized COVID pts w/ elevated #lipase, NONE met criteria for acute #pancreatitis & no difference in outcome/mortality was noted. @BrighamGI
