Although recent efforts have been engaged to combat bias in medical education, minimal attention has been dedicated to developing antiracism curricula for medical students. We developed a year-long discussion curriculum for 175 first-year medical students centered around Ibram X. Kendi's . The discussion curriculum consisted of six, 2 hour seminars. We evaluated students' perceptions regarding discussing and actively addressing racism. Students reported an improved ability and comfort to discuss and address racism within healthcare settings. These data suggest that antiracism discussion curricula may be effective for training medical students to address racism in their future careers.

Background: Olaparib (OLA) and regorafenib (REG) are metabolized by the CYP3A4 isoenzyme of cytochrome P450. Both drugs are also substrates and inhibitors of the membrane transporters P-glycoprotein and BCRP. Therefore, the potential concomitant use of OLA and REG may result in clinically relevant drug-drug interactions.

Background: Internal ocular diseases, such as macular edema, uveitis, and diabetic macular edema require precise delivery of therapeutic agents to specific regions within the eye. However, the eye's complex anatomical structure and physiological barriers present significant challenges to drug penetration and distribution. Traditional eye drops suffer from low bioavailability primarily due to rapid clearance mechanisms.
