Honored to contribute to the @AST_info Fellows Task Force Report @amjtransplant on Recommendations to overcome barriers to transplant fellowship training in the US, led by Dr.Kobashigawa et al.
Link: https://t.co/f4Wodp7qLn
The document included recommendations tailored around four areas of focus, including :
🔹Early and sustained exposure to transplant medicine
🔹Awareness through education
🔹Flexible fellowships and pathways to transplant
🔹Work–life resources

Last week I had the great opportunity to present our work @SmidtHeart on HLA antibody Class and outcomes of sensitized Heart Transplant patient at #WorldTransplantCongress in SF
#WTC2025
Grateful to my mentor Dr.Kobashigawa and the team for their support

Presented this at #ISHLT2025: In our single-center study @SmidtHeart , pre- heart transplant sensitization & older donor age were associated with immediate presentation of severe PGD-LV ⚠️.
Immediate presentation = worse 30-day & 1-yr survival vs delayed presentation 📉.@ISHLT
Does Time Matter in #PGD presentation? @ISHLT@ManlaYosef
➡️ Study shows worse outcomes in immediate vs. delayed presentation w/ ⬇️ survival at 30d & 1 yr
Presenting our case series on variable responses to daratumumab for pre-transplant desensitization in adult heart transplant candidates #ISHLT2025@ISHLT @SmidtHeart #transplantimmunology

🌍 Key themes identified:
• 📊 Lack of high-quality, region-specific HF registry data
• 🏥Balancing accessible care vs. centralized specialized care
• ✅ Need for HF care accreditation & coordination across delivery centers
• ⏱️ Improving prevention & timely diagnosis, especially in underserved communities
• 👥Advancing multidisciplinary team-based care

Beyond grateful to my mentor, Dr.Kobashigawa, and the team @SmidtHeart for the support and guidance
One of my unintended passions is now exploring: How do we make #cardioonc succeed, 1 program at a time?
@yosefmanla @DSadlerMD et al reveal building blocks needed to build a program & how to leverage your local strengths & gaps in care for success!
