Peter Tontonoz is the Frances and Albert Piansky Endowed Chair and Distinguished Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and of Biological Chemistry at UCLA. Dr. Tontonoz received his B.A. from Wesleyan University and his MD. and PhD from Harvard Medical School.<\/p>\n\n
Dr. Tontonoz\u2019s laboratory endeavors to understand regulatory pathways that govern cholesterol, fatty acid and phospholipid metabolism. His work has helped to reveal fundamental mechanisms by which animals maintain cellular and whole-body lipid homeostasis. His group has elucidated pathways for the control of lipid uptake, transport and efflux, and has shown how these pathways impact the function of immune cells and metabolic tissues in both physiology and disease.<\/p>\n\n
He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Medicine and has received numerous awards, including the Stanley J. Korsmeyer Award (ASCI), the American Heart Association Basic Science Prize and the J.C. Fruchart Award (International Atherosclerosis Society). He serves on the editorial boards of PNAS, Genes & Development, and Journal of Clinical Investigation.<\/p>\n\n

Pregnancy, Parenthood, and Pediatrics: Advancing Mental Health for Women & Children <\/strong>is a one-day interdisciplinary conference that will empower primary and behavioral healthcare providers to confidently care for their perinatal, child, and adolescent patients living with psychiatric disorders.<\/p>\n\n
This conference is being held due to the alarming shortage of psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and other mental health specialists for perinatal and pediatric patients in need. With one in five women in the U.S. suffering from maternal mental health complications, including addiction, and with one in five youth between ages 3-17 in the U.S. suffering from an emotional, developmental, or behavioral disorder, there is a significant mismatch between need and availability of care - with the need to empower more providers to care for these vulnerable populations. <\/p>\n\n

Effectively screen for common psychiatric conditions in the peripartum.<\/li>\n\t
Safely treat to remission depression and anxiety in children and adolescents.<\/li>\n\t
Incorporate into practice knowledge of how maternal stress affects emotional and cognitive development in infants and children.<\/li>\n\t

Overview<\/h2>\n\n
Academic Excellence Day began in 1999 when Maricopa Medical Center (now Valleywise Health) and Mayo Clinic Scottsdale Departments of Academic Affairs developed a program to highlight resident training program research efforts. 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\n
There 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>
