Thank you to those who participated in making the James M. Doss Foundation Challenge Grant a success. We superseded our goal and improvements are already underway for Phase I of our simulation suite renovation.
On November 17, Dr. Nancy Mendenhall, COMPPARE Principal Investigator, and Charles Griggs, Minority Engagement Group Coordinator, participated in a special panel discussion entitled “From Principles to Practice: Building Partnerships for Trust and Equity in Health Research”
The moment she opened her UF Health patient portal in September 2021, Dacia Starratt said she knew it was cancer. The word carcinoma seemed to jump off the screen in the biopsy results report.
