Time-resolved interrogation of organellar proteostasis under unfolded protein response<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Disrupted proteostasis is a hallmark of various human diseases including cancer, heart disease and neurodegeneration. Different cellular compartments have evolved specialized machinery to handle specific stressors, including the endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response (UPR) that is triggered by ER stress; however, the full scope of these responses remains unclear. Recent evidence suggests that there exists a complex temporal hierarchy of proteomic changes that extend far beyond the initial activation of UPR pathways. In this presentation, I will describe our use of subcellular spatiotemporal proteomics to distinguish between the abundance of pre-existing and newly synthesized proteins across multiple compartments. I will highlight a recently optimized method, SPLAT-TR (Simultaneous Proteome Localization and Turnover analysis with Time Resolution), which enables multidimensional measurements of protein abundance, synthesis, degradation, and localization during the time-evolution post-UPR. We will show evidence that ER protein misfolding propagates stress to multiple organelles, triggering distinct changes in protein quality control.<\/p>\n\n

Measuring What Matters: AI Standardized Patients and the Future of Competency Assessments for Health Care Professionals
\n\tGuest Speaker<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Abstract<\/h3>\n\n
Health care quality is multidimensional, encompassing not only clinical knowledge but also reasoning, communication, decision-making, and other aspects of provider performance. However, commonly used assessment tools, including multiple-choice examinations and clinical data audits, capture only a portion of these competencies. Standardized patients and direct observation can provide richer measures of clinical performance, but they are difficult and costly to scale.<\/p>\n\n
Advances in generative AI may offer a new approach. AI-enabled standardized patients can simulate interactive clinical encounters, allowing health care workers to engage in open-ended conversations, make clinical decisions, and receive structured assessment of their performance. This talk will examine the emerging field of AI-enabled standardized patients for clinical competency assessment, drawing on recent research and application examples from the United States and globally.<\/p>","editable":false,"start":"2026-10-16T11:00:00","end":"2026-10-16T12:00:00","backgroundColor":"#3a87ad","borderColor":"#3a87ad"},{"title":"19","id":"4-0","eid":"45944","url":"https:\/\/phoenixmed.arizona.edu\/about\/events\/critical-care-and-sleep-medicine-reception","des":"

Heavy Metals and Human Health: A Clinical and Public Health Approach<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Heavy metals are ubiquitous in the environment, and concerns about exposure to substances such as arsenic, lead, and mercury are increasingly raised by patients and healthcare providers. While acute heavy metal poisoning is rare, chronic or elevated exposure may contribute to significant health concerns. Join experts from clinical toxicology, laboratory science, and public health for a multidisciplinary discussion of heavy metal exposure in Arizona. Participants will explore clinical presentations and risk factors, appropriate laboratory testing and interpretation, common exposure sources, and strategies to help reduce risk. The session will also highlight resources available to healthcare providers and communities concerned about heavy metal exposure.<\/p>\n\n
Outcome Objectives<\/h3>\n\n
\n\t
Recognize clinical presentations and exposure histories that may warrant evaluation for heavy metal exposure.<\/li>\n\t
Select appropriate laboratory tests and interpret results for suspected heavy metal exposure, including consideration of appropriate specimen matrices.<\/li>\n\t
Describe common sources, pathways, and potential health effects associated with acute and chronic heavy metal exposure.<\/li>\n\t
Identify evidence-based exposure reduction strategies and public health resources available to support patients and communities at risk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

The program was a success, and in 2004, the Arizona Medical Education Consortium (AzMEC) was asked to participate.<\/p>\n\nThe concept of Academic Excellence Day was developed and approved by all of the Phoenix-area members (all allopathic programs in Maricopa County) and the first city-wide Academic Excellence Day was held in 2005 at Mayo Clinic under the direction of AzMEC President, Michael D. Grossman, MD<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\nThe program was held annually on the first Wednesday in May and rotated at the participatory hospitals until the University of Arizona College of Medicine \u2013 Phoenix formally opened. Each of the participatory hospitals paid a fee to participate based on the number of residents the hospital had and continued that way until 2015 when the MICA Medical Foundation began providing funding each year. In 2020, the format went virtual in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to allow people to participate and judge in the safety of their own space. After two years of a virtual format, 2023 will again be offering a hybrid format of virtual posters and an in-person oral presentation event.<\/p>\n\nThe mission of Academic Excellence Day is to promote an environment of academic excellence amongst trainees in our participating institutions. Academic Excellence Day will provide an opportunity for residents and fellows in training programs in the greater Phoenix area to showcase the volume of bench and clinical research and quality improvement initiatives being performed.<\/p>\n\nThere will be an option to virtually join the oral presentation event through Zoom. A link will be made available and sent to those who RSVP as the event date nears. \nIf you have questions about the event, please contact the Academic Excellence Day Coordinator at <a href=\"#\" data-mail-to=\"cop-nrqcuk\/ng\/nevmban\/qbg\/rqh\" data-replace-inner=\"@email\">PBC-AEDPhx@arizona.edu<\/a><\/em> \n <\/p>","editable":false,"start":"2024-05-01T12:00:00","end":"2024-05-01T17:30:00","backgroundColor":"#3a87ad","borderColor":"#3a87ad"},{"title":"23","id":"51-0","eid":"43741","url":"https:\/\/phoenixmed.arizona.edu\/about\/events\/move-arizona-2024","des":"The  U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that American adults spend 150\u2013300 minutes each week performing moderate physical activity, such as brisk walking, dancing, hiking, practicing yoga, riding a bike, or even scrubbing a bathtub. \n \nMove Arizona is a workplace movement initiative led by Life & Work Connections.
