Personal Actions to Create a Culture of Inclusion: Navigating Difficult Conversations with Medical Colleagues
(From the November 2023 Annals for Educators)
Microaggressions between medical team members may require difficult conversations to restore inclusivity, diversity, and a healthy work culture. This article outlines important considerations to assist with intentional preparation and modulation of responses for the initiator of the conversation, observers of the incident, and the receiver of the conversation.
Annals for Educators is a Web Exclusives feature of Annals of Internal Medicine which includes activities using selected Annals articles to help medical educators in their teaching activities.
Winning Abstracts from the 2023 Abstracts Competition
Nivolumab Associated Direct Antiglobulin-Negative Hemolytic Anemia with Pure Red Cell Aplasia – An Unforeseen Consequence
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are commonly used in the treatment of advanced melanoma, as they have transformed survival rates, tumor regression, and long-term disease control. ICIs function by blocking inhibitory receptors on T-cells (such as PD-1 and CTLA-4), leading to a more robust T-cell-mediated immune response to cancer cells. Despite these advances, many immune-related adverse events (irAEs) associated with ICIs have been reported.

Chapter Chatter
ACP Minnesota Chapter's New Podcast: Doctor+
We often recognize doctors for their clinical work, research, and academic achievements. But we don't always get to hear about the other sides of their lives: their “pluses.” Join Dr. David Hilden and Dr. Tseganesh Selameab as they explore the hobbies, activities, and adventures of their fellow internal medicine doctors.
