NEW EPISODE!
On this journey, ride leader Charlie Searles, MD, is joined by Ted Johnson, MD, Division Director of the Division of General Internal Medicine and Chair of the Department of Family and Preventive Medicine. Dr. Johnson describes how he found his research niche in nocturia (i.e. urinating at night), lessons he has learned from both sides of the mentorship coin, how his childhood experiences inspired him to serve vulnerable human (and canine) populations, the origin of his Twitter handle (@BaldHeadTed), and the three songs he cannot live without. 

Announcing the Research Ride Spotify Playlist 
Hear the three songs Ted Johnson cannot live without, as well as other songs inspired by the Research Ride Podcast. Expand your musical library and get to know DOM researchers a little more personally. Click here to view the Spotify playlist and enjoy listening. 

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Thank you to those who recently joined us for the Health Equity Advocacy Community Forum, held at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights. This event drew more than 80 faculty members, healthcare professionals, learners, and community members together to build consensus around health-related priorities for advocacy.
