What are the care model and work force revolutions that will allow us, as a society, to provide equitable and excellent care to our aging community members? Ask these brilliant minds! (in a few months) So excited to welcome new trainees to our program at BCM!

People 70 and older have a heightened risk of cancer, but they are underrepresented in clinical trials for new drugs. Dr. Elizabeth Kvale and others stress the importance of including older adults in trials. bit.ly/3D6FtCN #ClinicalTrials

In the latest Resonance episode, Baylor students had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Angela Catic. She shares her invaluable insights on medical education, caring for older adults and shaping the future of healthcare.

Dear @POTUS,
You’ve conflated prescription fentanyl with illicit fentalogues in counterfeit pills. The former has a medical benefit; the latter should be your target.
Please clarify this to avoid stigmatizing patients taking opioids for pain care.
Thanks - An actual physician
