Farnsworth Honored for Outstanding Achievement by a Young Investigator
Chris Farnsworth, PhD was awarded AACC's Outstanding Achievement by a Young Investigator. This award recognizes and encourages the professional development of a young investigator who has demonstrated exceptional scientific achievements early in his or her career. It is given based on the degree of originality exhibited in the individual's creative process and the significance of the research conducted relevant to the field of clinical laboratory medicine.
Dr. Farnsworth’s clinical and translational research has three primary aims, all with the focus of improving laboratory testing and patient care. These include acute and critical care biomarker development and testing, the host pathogen interface and associated laboratory testing, and mitigating preanalytic laboratory errors.

About Diversity 1.0 – 4.0 Training
Diversity, equity and inclusion leaders provide a series of four one-hour group training sessions on the fundamentals of diversity education for departments, programs and other business units. Each session is designed to provide a greater understanding of:

- What aspects of diversity affect us (i.e., biases and prejudices)

How biases and prejudices manifest in our day-to-day thoughts and actions
- How to recognize and mitigate biases and prejudices when we do encounter them
All faculty are encouraged to attend open training sessions offered monthly.
Below are three ways to stay abreast of activities related to DEI across the medical school:

They will cover the Early-Bird registration fee ($1850.00) for up to four WUSM faculty to attend. The deadline for Early-Bird registration is September 7, 2022, and support is provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
The in-person Seminar, scheduled for October 13-15, 2022 at the AAMC Learning Center, Washington, D.C., is open to any associate professor at an AAMC member institution who feels that the topics are of interest and/or appropriate to their professional development needs.
