Hollander Rounds: Clinical Problem Solving with Monica Fung

For this Hollander Rounds, we have another Clinical Problem Solving (CPS) case to allow listeners to watch in real time how master clinicians reason through challenging cases. While getting the diagnosis “right” is impressive, the true learning comes from witnessing how experts navigate the zigs and zags of a diagnostic journey in a case that unfurls in real time (as it does in life, of course).

Lifestyle and Atrial Fibrillation: Adventures in Clinical Research

Could that cup of coffee or glass of wine change your cardiac risk? At this Medical Grand Rounds, we will present the latest evidence regarding the impact of common habits like alcohol and caffeine consumption on cardiac arrhythmias. In addition to exploring the clinical and lifestyle implications of our findings, we will describe some of the pioneering research methods we’re employing at UCSF to better understand the impact of lifestyle on heart health.

UCSF Alumni Panel: Public Service-Oriented Careers

In this panel discussion, we will hear from three UCSF residency alumni who are leaders in three different types of public health-oriented organizations. Tomás Aragón, director of the California Department of Public Health and state public health officer, has been a voice of public health throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. We will learn how he exercises leadership and legal authority to protect health and prevent disease. Amanda Johnson, assistant vice president of care models at NYC Health + Hospitals, leads a team that cares for people facing structural barriers to healthcare. Carmen Peralta, chief clinical officer at Interwell Health, will discuss her work in a healthcare company committed to delivering value-based care.

Frailty in Liver and Lung Transplantation: The Past, Present, and Future

Liver and lung transplantation are remarkable procedures that have saved hundreds of thousands of lives. While outcomes are influenced by the technical quality of the procedures, there are also complex patient factors that can impact survival. These factors may sometimes alter decisions about transplantation and modifying them can sometimes make the difference between life and death.

What Does AI Mean for Medicine?

In this Grand Rounds, we will take our understanding of the impact of AI on healthcare to the next level, exploring the intricacies of AI algorithms, including how subtle issues can result in undesirable outcomes, such as the perpetuation of racial biases. This session, from an international thought leader in AI, equity, and policy, will deepen your understanding of how AI uses clinical data to make predictions and offer guidance, and enable you to appreciate some of the new risks that we’ll need to mitigate as the technology rolls out in healthcare.

Redefining Sudden Cardiac Death?with?the POST SCD Study

Despite medical advances, tragic cases of sudden cardiac death continue to occur, often without clear explanation. Drawing on insights from his POstmortem Systematic InvesTigation of Sudden Cardiac Death (POST SCD) study, Zian Tseng will explore the fundamental triggers that underlie these critical events, describe the determinants of outcomes, and help us understand the varied trajectories of patients who have experienced sudden cardiac events.
