Congratulations to all our fellows involved in the recent GI baby-boom. Ivan is out on paternity leave, so I’ll present two thematic colorectal cancer screening papers:
Dolan et al in J Gen Int Med: The effectiveness of a physician-only and physician-patient intervention on colorectal cancer screening discussion s between providers and African American and Latino patients. 2015. PMID 25986137.
May et al in Am J Gastro: Racial Minorities are more likely than whites to report lack of provider recommendation for colon cancer screening. Am J Gastro. 2015. PMID 25964227.
Enjoy the beautiful holiday weekend and remember to find a quite moment to read this great group of papers in preparation for journal club. Looking forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday.
