I just recorded a video that will be part of a series on Alpha-1 for the Cleveland Clinic. It will be titled something like "Lung Transplant - A Patient's Perspective".

It will be part of a bundle that will be worth one CME credit, aimed at several types of medical professional such as MDs, NPs, RTs, etc. Apparently Cleveland Clinic is huge in CME.

It'll be a couple months before it is on their website.

Very cool. It’s a special feeling being an educator. I can relate, with my time on TNCR.

You're the 2nd one in your family to have videos posted online, after your sister.

Srsly tho, congrats!

[kluurs]

I look forward to seeing that. Hopefully, an Oscar is in your future.

[Jolly]

And since you're doing it, the CME is free. AmIright?

If it was was just me, we’d have to pay people to take it.

But seriously it’s all free, including very specialized content from KOLs in the field. One of the problems with rare diseases is people don’t know about them so they don’t test for them. This disease gets misdiagnosed all the time, indeed we think only about 10% of the people who have it have been properly diagnosed. The liver manifestation is often only discovered at autopsy.

So the foundation sees supporting medical education as a big part of its mission. So we are actually subsidizing the cost.

So proud!

Excellent, Jon! You will be great for this. They chose well.

[Copper]

Did you do shout-outs to individual tncr members, or just the forum as a whole?

[mark]

Very cool, Jon.

Well considering he introduced himself as "who dis?", I think that was a subtle nod to his best friends here on the interwebs.

Just spoke at the American Thoracic Society 2022 Conference today in SF.

I was hoping to see Horace while I’m out here but the trip is short - came in yesterday and leave tonight.

Just think how impressive you could be if you had hair.

[Jolly]

Seriously, it's good work and it makes a difference.

Fortunately I’m taller than everyone else so unless I sit down or bow my head no one sees that aspect of my hairline….

[George K]

Lookin' all scholarly n' everything . . . does the heart proud!
