In this CME Outfitters Snack, expert faculty will address the educational needs of non-migraine specialist healthcare practitioners and the common challenges the multidisciplinary care team faces, including shared decision-making practices when determining the best treatment options.
Please join a panel of expert multidisciplinary faculty in a compelling CMEO recorded webcast on how to better evaluate toxicity and pregnancy risks in patients taking mycophenolate, counsel patients of reproductive potential, monitor relevant pregnancies and patient reporting to the Mycophenolate Pregnancy Registry, and implement MREMS in clinical practice.
This CMEOCast episode will highlight the root causes of health disparities in pain care and identify best practices for addressing structural and interpersonal racism that cause inequitable pain management, to improve awareness of and address clinician biases in pain care for patients from racial minority backgrounds.

Dr. Green was a Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Fellow at the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) of the National Academies. Working in the US Senate’s Health Education Labor and Pensions Committee and the Children and Families Subcommittee, she helped draft the National Pain Care Policy Act, incorporated in the Affordable Care Act, and was thanked in the Congressional Record by Senator Kennedy for contributions to the FDA reauthorization, i.e. including gender and race variables to assess outcomes.
Dr. Green is a tenured Professor of Anesthesiology, Obstetrics & Gynecology, and Health Management & Policy at the University of Michigan’s Schools of Medicine and Public Health, an attending physician in the Back and Pain Center, holds faculty appointments at the Institute for Social Research and Institute for Health Policy and Innovation, and is a faculty associate in the Program for Research on Black Americans, Depression Center, and Cancer Center, where she was elected to Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society. Green is also an elected fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine, Gerontological Society of America, and Association of University Anesthesiologists. She is a faculty associate in the Program for Research on Black Americans, Depression Center, and Cancer Center.

Dr. Green was the founding chair for the American Pain Society’s Special Interest Group on Pain and Disparities and chair of the Public Policy Committee.
At the nexus of public health and health care quality, equity, and policy, her health policy relevant and health services research agenda focuses on pain and the social determinants of health. She is the author of germinal and seminal papers that poignantly reveal unequal treatment, disparities, and variability in decision-making, and diminished health care quality, revealing suboptimal access to health and pain care across the life course for women, minorities, and low-income people. An innovator, she often uses narrative medicine and photo voice techniques to promote empathy and healing. Dr. Green published a selective review focusing on the unequal burden of pain in Pain Medicine, which remains the most cited article in the journal’s history and was the guest editor for its special issue on disparities. She was the first to identify hospital security errors.
Dr. Green received several honors, including UMHS Employee of the Year, U-M Woman of Color of the Year for Human Relations, Consumers’ Checkbook’s Top 100 Doctors, Top 1% of Pain Doctors by US News and World Reports, Who’s Who in America, U-M Harold R. Johnson Diversity Service Award, John Liebeskind Pain Management Research Award, Elizabeth Narcessian Award for Outstanding Educational Achievements, and MSU CHM Distinguished Alumni Award. Her federal and state board service includes NAM’s Health Care Services Board, Michigan Governor’s Pain and Symptom Advisory Committee, US Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Interagency Pain Research Coordinating Committee, and HHS Oversight Committee for the National Pain Strategy (Disparities Committee Co-Chair) as well as NIH’s Advisory Committee for the Eunice Shriver National Institute of Child and Human Development, Advisory Committee for Research on Women’s Health, and National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research. Dr. Green has made invited presentations across the globe, including the US Congress and Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center in Bellagio, Italy. She has worked across the health professional pipeline to achieve a critical mass of minorities and women in academic medicine, biomedical sciences, and higher education. Her former students lead, teach, and inspire others.

She is a practicing internist, medical educator, and clinician investigator. Her research pursues health equity and social justice, with a focus on promoting equitable doctor/patient relationships among racial minorities, integrating the medical and social needs of patients, and addressing health care discrimination and structural racism impacting health outcomes (e.g., diabetes, COVID-19). Dr. Peek has authored more than 200 peer-reviewed publications and abstracts on health care disparities, diversity, and bias; has been the principal investigator of multiple grants to address health disparities; and has been invited to speak at numerous local and national medical meetings.
In this first installment of a two-part interactive CMEO BriefCase demonstration, expert clinicians in transplantation, immunosuppression, and patient care react to video case vignettes that include counseling on contraception. The faculty provides perspectives on interactions done well and offers advice on how they can be improved to ensure successful pregnancy prevention during mycophenolate administration.
In this second of two, interactive CMEO BriefCase demonstrations, an expert faculty will react to the actions taken by a clinician when her patient becomes pregnant while taking mycophenolate three years post-kidney transplantation. The program will emphasize pros and cons about the clinician-patient interactions highlighted in the vignettes, while offering practical information on the steps involved for both patients and clinicians to participate in the Mycophenolate Pregnancy Registry.
In this CME Outfitters recorded Grand Rounds series entitled, Versatility of Therapeutic uses of Costimulation Blockade in Kidney Transplantation, expert faculty will discuss strategies for identifying optimal immunosuppressive regimens, developing individualized management plans for patients who fail initial immunosuppressive therapy, and counseling patients with renal transplant on long-term immunosuppressive therapy.
