❤️A heartfelt thank you to #MarkScotch for visiting @SSMHealthSTL and for sharing his remarkable cross-country Organ Trail journey to raise awareness for #OrganDonationand Transplantation. 🚴🏼‍♂️🌎💫

The Organ Trail brings together #LivingDonors, #transplant recipients, clinicians, and advocates committed to saving lives through donation and expanding access to transplantation.

😃 Looking forward to speaking at the Mayo Clinic Faculty Development 2026: Empowering Medical Educators, taking place May 29–31, 2026, in Denver, Colorado! 🏔️

I will be presenting on Saturday, May 30th at the Four Seasons Hotel Denver on a topic I am deeply passionate about:
“Agentic AI – Role in Education”

🔗 More information: https://t.co/HXGXOa8dHX

Medical education is rapidly transitioning away from static learning models toward dynamic, AI-driven educational ecosystems. During this session, we will explore how we can thoughtfully leverage advanced tools—moving beyond basic AI to emerging agentic systems—to fundamentally reshape how we teach and learn.
Specifically, we will dive into: 🔹 The AI Spectrum: Distinguishing how true agentic AI differs from traditional, prompt-based AI use. 🔹 Workflow Integration: Identifying practical use cases to enhance teaching and faculty workflow efficiency. 🔹 Agent Design: Applying structured prompting and agent design directly to complex educational tasks. 🔹 Responsible Implementation: Evaluating the critical opportunities and limitations of integrating agentic AI into medical education systems.
It is going to be a fantastic few days discussing the future of medical education and practical AI applications for educators. I am also looking forward to some great morning walks in the crisp Colorado air! 🌲👟
See you in Denver! 😃🤗

#ItTakes2: Some moments remind you why #advocacy matters 💫

💫 At the #WorldTransplantCongress 2025 celebration for the #LivingDonorCircleOfExcellence, I had the privilege of standing beside #LivingDonors, transplant patients➕professionals actively changing the future of #transplantation ⭕🤝🏽🫶🏼

The mission of the @AST_info's Living Donor Circle of Excellence is both practical and powerful ⭐ recognizing employers who provide leave for employees recovering from #LivingDonation surgery 🏥💙💚
⭐ That support sends a powerful message that removing financial barriers is critical to supporting #OrganDonation & #transplantation🦋

🙏🏽 Deep appreciation to Dr. #JohnGill, Brooke Iarkowski ➕ and the #AST team ⭐for building a program that continues to grow nationally and create real-world impact for donors and recipients alike.

🤝🏽 Celebrating with fellow advocates, including living donors & patients, Circle members ⭕and leaders in transplantation felt especially meaningful because the momentum is real 🚀

Progress happens when people choose to advocate ⭐ employers choose to support ⭐ and communities choose to care 💙💚🕯️

🙌🏽 Proud to stand with this community ⭐ and excited for what’s ahead in 2026 🎉 @CEOatNKF | @VineetaKumar8 | @D_M_Dadhania | @Mattcoopmd1 | @henryrandall60 | @SSMHealth | @SLUHospital | @nkf | @NKF_Advocacy | @NKF_KSMO🧡🤝🏽
