What an incredible turnout for ALCSI’s 2nd Annual Stronger Together Health Fair in Boston!! We are SO grateful to the 60+ community organizations and mobile health vans that joined us to provide a wide range of health resources, from cancer screenings and vaccinations to cardiovascular, and mental health services!

It was wonderful to see everyone dressed up and coming together to celebrate both health and Halloween!!

We had a great time talking about lung cancer screening at the American Academy of Family Physicians' Annual Meeting (FMX), and we're honored that ALCSI got to host this first-ever, trailblazing session!!

Thank you to our esteemed panel, sponsors and to Lauren Rosenthal and Priyanka Senthil (@PriyankaSenth16) for chairing this session.

Also, a big shoutout and thank you to Suchir Ryali for organizing this and to our Lipscomb University and Vanderbilt University ALCSI teams for raising awareness about lung cancer screening!! Please stop by our ALCSI booth (#2809) at #AAFPFMX!!

Right now, only 25% of people who qualify for lung cancer screening are getting screened. To increase uptake, we really need the leadership of family physicians! Thank you to @aafp and to all the primary care providers who work hard every day to get their patients screened!

If you're interested in clinical trials, I highly recommend the AATS Clinical Trials Course, November 8-10th! I took this course 12 years ago, and it was instrumental for my career development.

This year, I'm excited to serve as one of the program directors. We've designed the course so that by the time you finish, you'll have a fully developed clinical trial protocol or proposal, with feedback from experts in the field.

Open to everyone: attendings, fellows, residents, and students!

Early-bird registration ends TODAY!
