Between reading every label, worrying about cross-contamination, and explaining your needs at restaurants or social gatherings, eating has become stressful instead of enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n The Reality: <\/strong>Adult-onset food allergies are increasingly common. In our fast-food and convenience-focused culture, common allergens hide in unexpected places under dozens of different ingredient names. What used to be simple\u2014grabbing lunch or attending a dinner party\u2014now requires constant vigilance and sometimes uncomfortable conversations.<\/p>\n\n The Challenge: <\/strong>Without knowing all the different names for allergens or how to quickly identify risky foods, every meal becomes a research project. Plus, explaining your allergies to others can feel awkward, and you might worry about being seen as difficult or high maintenance.<\/p>\n\n What You'll Gain:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n \n\tAbility to identify allergens hiding under different ingredient names in packaged and restaurant foods<\/li>\n\t Knowledge of how to recognize allergy symptoms and implement an emergency care plan<\/li>\n\tConfidence to advocate for your safety needs and have productive conversations about your allergies with others<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nThis workshop provides practical tools for managing food allergies safely.

The program was a success, and in 2004, the Arizona Medical Education Consortium (AzMEC) was asked to participate.<\/p>\n\n The 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\n The 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\n The 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 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":"28-0","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.

You never had food allergies before, but now suddenly your body is reacting to foods you've eaten your whole life. Between reading every label, worrying about cross-contamination, and explaining your needs at restaurants or social gatherings, eating has become stressful instead of enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n
The Reality: <\/strong>Adult-onset food allergies are increasingly common. In our fast-food and convenience-focused culture, common allergens hide in unexpected places under dozens of different ingredient names. What used to be simple\u2014grabbing lunch or attending a dinner party\u2014now requires constant vigilance and sometimes uncomfortable conversations.<\/p>\n\n
The Challenge: <\/strong>Without knowing all the different names for allergens or how to quickly identify risky foods, every meal becomes a research project. Plus, explaining your allergies to others can feel awkward, and you might worry about being seen as difficult or high maintenance.<\/p>\n\n
What You'll Gain:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
\n\tAbility to identify allergens hiding under different ingredient names in packaged and restaurant foods<\/li>\n\t
Knowledge of how to recognize allergy symptoms and implement an emergency care plan<\/li>\n\tConfidence to advocate for your safety needs and have productive conversations about your allergies with others<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nThis workshop provides practical tools for managing food allergies safely. You'll learn detective skills for finding hidden allergens, strategies for handling social situations, and ways to communicate your needs clearly without apologizing for prioritizing your health.<\/p>\n\n
Perfect for adults newly diagnosed with food allergies, those caring for adults with allergies, or anyone wanting to better understand and manage food allergy challenges.<\/em><\/p>\n\nQuestions:<\/strong> <\/strong>Contact <\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>","editable":false,"start":"2026-05-06T10:00:00","end":"2026-05-06T10:45:00","backgroundColor":"#3a87ad","borderColor":"#3a87ad"},{"title":"04","id":"13-0","eid":"45302","url":"https:\/\/phoenixmed.arizona.edu\/about\/events\/move-az-captain","des":"

The program was a success, and in 2004, the Arizona Medical Education Consortium (AzMEC) was asked to participate.<\/p>\n\n
The 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\n
The 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\n
The 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.
