The Future Stroke Leaders Programme is an initiative of the WSO to develop the technical and research skills of the next generation of stroke professionals. It is a structured 2-year program to equip a global cohort of early career clinicians and researchers with in-depth understanding of the key challenges for stroke and how these challenges can be addressed within diverse stroke care systems. Since its inception in 2020, the program has demonstrated remarkable success and impact. It has resulted in over 30 group publications, contributed to numerous local and international stroke care improvement projects, and secured funding for 7 impactful projects with tangible outcomes. The program showcases a commitment to advancing stroke care and fostering innovation, making a significant difference in both research and practical healthcare applications.

At ACR 2024, AWIR leaders Dr. @Grace Grace Wright and Dr. Gail Kerr joined partners to spotlight the Academy for Workforce Advancement to Enrich Rheumatology Diversity (AWARD) program. This initiative focuses on mentoring, creating resources, advocating for social justice, and developing leadership opportunities for individuals from underrepresented backgrounds in medicine. While 13% of the U.S. population identifies as Black, only 5% of active physicians come from Black communities. AWIR is working to close this gap by empowering underrepresented voices in rheumatology and creating pathways for future leaders. Through AWARD and initiatives like supporting trainees at conferences and conducting research on disparities in care, AWIR is paving the way for a more inclusive and equitable workforce. 👉 What more can be done to diversify healthcare?

Take a listen to this excellent episode where Kelly Nieves and I chat with Robert Oh MD, MPH. This was definitely an enlightening conversation: especially the reframe about how the future of primary care will actually be driven by patients…a democratization of primary care, if you will. What does that mean for family medicine? I think it means a more expansive and supportive role, to be honest, something to be excited about if we can get ourselves there. In fact, I believe that trusting patients and their experiences is crucial in rebuilding trust in a medical system that has become increasingly siloed in an attempt to defend itself against the concurrent boom of "innovation." (It's not always true innovation, sometimes it's a just a disgruntled tech bro with a good story, rich friends, and a PR team) Ultimately, our job is to find the innovations that really offer benefits by cutting through the fog. Getting on board with technologies like CGMs that put data into patients own hands, might be a first step in that direction.
