Facilitators will describe the importance of considering empathy in healthcare service design and, by example, demonstrate the use of empathy mapping to develop services for patient populations. The process of empathy mapping includes interviewing, mapping thoughts and feelings as well as using the insights generated to articulate clear and concise problem statements. You will also learn how to utilize developed statements to create potential solutions and prototype them. Participants will have the opportunity to practice this methodology by interacting with a lived experience expert.

Topic: Platelets from 13-lined Ground Squirrels are Resistant to Cold Storage Lesion

Presented by:

Dr. Scott Cooper
Professor of Biology at the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse

Abstract: Hibernating ground squirrels have dramatically decreased heart rates (3-5 beats per minute) and blood flow, which should put them at risk of forming blood clots. In response, they have several adaptations during hibernation that prevent blood clotting, including 3-fold decreases in Factors VIII (FVIII) and IX (FIX), and 10-fold decreases in von Willebrand factor (vWF), neutrophils, and platelets. Ground squirrel platelets are resistant to in vivo and in vitro cold storage lesions and are not rapidly cleared after transfusion. This could be due to a combination of altered signaling pathways, resistance to cold-induced cellular damage, and interactions with extracellular factors. This research is pioneering the use proteomic and metabolomic techniques to determine how ground squirrel platelets are resistant to cold storage lesions in platelets and could lead to medical advances to treat thrombocytopenia, store human platelets in the cold for transfusions, and regulate blood coagulation in cases of accidental or induced hypothermia.

Topic: Novel Roles of Platelets in Infection and Inflammation

Presented by

Dr. Robert A. Campbell
Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Utah

Abstract:

I have concentrated my research effort on dissecting the mechanisms underpinning how cells alter coagulation under normal and disease situations, as well as determining how hemostasis and thrombosis, in turns, alters cellular response during inflammation. In particular, I have focused on understanding the regulation of transcription and translation in megakaryocyte and platelets under health and disease. To accomplish these goals, I have developed in vitro and in vivo model systems to examine gene and protein expression in megakaryocytes and platelets. We have elucidated novel mechanisms regulating megakaryocyte and platelet function and activation under normal homeostasis, including translational control mechanism regulated by microRNAs. We have also discovered that platelets and megakaryocytes possess novel intrinsic host defense mechanisms in addition to their ability to respond to inflammatory signals that induce robust changes in gene and protein expression. We have also demonstrated these changes in gene expression alter thrombo‐inflammatory responses, which often occur in the setting of aging and in the context of stroke. We also have extensively studied platelet interactions with other cells including neutrophils and monocytes and how these interactions alter platelet and leukocyte responses. In addition, my laboratory has significant experience dissecting molecular pathway in platelets, which regulate thrombosis using murine model systems. This includes in vivo models of thrombosis such as venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and ischemic stroke. In these studies, we have used state‐of‐the‐art technologies including RNA‐seq to examine the transcriptional changes in platelets and megakaryocytes from mice to uncover novel genes critical for platelet responses during inflammation and thrombosis.

The objectives of this course are:

1.  Identify the agitated patient
2. Use a standardized scale to assess agitation
3. Assess a patient scene for safety
   

Duration: 40 minutes

You’ve probably heard the word “diversity” pretty frequently both in and out of the workplace, but are you confident you understand what it means and how it might impact your life? 

Diversity—along with the complementary concepts of equity, and inclusion—impact your wellbeing, regardless of your background. Having a firm grasp on these terms is essential not only for a healthy workplace, but ultimately a healthier way of living.

This course will introduce you to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). By the time you’ve finished this course, you’ll be better equipped to understand the importance of DEI and take action to support diversity initiatives in the workplace.

Topics covered in this introductory course include how we’re socialized in the world, how biases form, and how these factors affect how we think and act—and feed into various systems of oppression. By the end of this course, you will:

1. Have a basic understanding of key DEI concepts.

2. Recognize how your specific background fits into the society you live in. 

3. Know how to contribute to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace.

Understanding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is essential to creating a healthier community. But once you’ve grasped the conceptual elements of DEI, how do you put them into practice? And how can you apply your knowledge to your unique community?

In this course, you’ll learn how the stories we tell ourselves impact our well-being. You’ll discover the power of the narratives we tell as individuals, within social groups, and through institutions, and you’ll explore ways to counter these narratives through specific examples and exercises. By the end of this course, you will know how to:

1. Create space for diverse perspectives and critique current power structures.

2. Navigate the ambiguity and complexity that come with multiple perspectives.

3. Take action to promote equity and justice.

When it comes to innovation, creativity, and problem-solving, research consistently shows that diverse workforces perform better. But, for diversity to work, every employee must feel included. They need to have a seat at the table and know that they and their opinions matter.

So, how do you ensure that all employees—regardless of who they are—feel like they can be their true selves at work? In this course, we’ll first define what’s meant by diversity, inclusion, and belonging. You’ll then learn how to attract and retain diverse talent through belonging moments, allyship, and ongoing quantification.

No matter where First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples in Canada live, they face unique health challenges. Often higher rates of diabetes, heart disease, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS and many other diseases can been seen in FNIM people compared to non-FNIM people.

There are many reasons why the need to address health literacy is even more critical today than ever. There are increasing demands in society to access health information in new ways and this can create challenges for patients navigating the health care system. Increasing rates of chronic diseases in the Canadian population require individuals to manage their own care more than before. This course examines why Indigenous people have greater health literacy needs than the general population.
