[eCysticFibrosis Review]

View this email in your browser Volume 10, Issue 1 Does Race Impact CF Diagnosis and Care? BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, people of color): why is an accurate diagnosis of cystic fibrosis so often missed — or delayed, or misdiagnosed — in these groups? Why do people with CF from historically marginalized communities show an increased prevalence of Pseudomonas infection, more frequent pulmonary exacerbations, and higher mortality rates?  Those are some of the questions addressed by Dr. Jennifer Taylor-Cousar from National Jewish Health and Dr. Kamyron Jordan from Children’s Hospital Colorado — in this first issue of Volume 10 of eCysticFibrosis Review.  Start Activity Length of activity: 1.0 hour Physicians 1.0 contact hour Nurses Authors Jennifer Taylor-Cousar, MD, MSCS Kamyron Jordan, MD, PhD The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Office of Continuing Medical Education 720 Rutland Avenue, Turner 20 Baltimore, Maryland 21205-2195 Phone: (410) 502-9634 Fax: (866) 510-7088 E-mail: [email protected] Website: hopkinscme.cloud-cme.com/aph.aspx The Institute for Johns Hopkins Nursing 600 North Wolfe Street, Admin. 308 Baltimore, Maryland 21287 Email: [email protected] Website: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/institute_nursing/index.html Please add this email to your address book or safe senders list to ensure future emails.
