Cultural Speakers
Cultural practices, beliefs, and norms play a very important role not only in delivering health care to clients and patients, but also in how that health care is received and what outcomes are possible. Diversity within those beliefs and practices, and as a result of available resources or social economic/demographic circumstances, must be fully understood in order for health care professionals to provide the best care possible no matter where they are in the world, or what culture they are practicing within.
At GOLD Perinatal Care, we understand the importance of Culture and Diversity in health care, and we are working hard to bring you speakers and presentations from around the world that will help you understand the patients and clients you are working with. Discovering how health care is provided and received in other countries and cultures around the world can have a positive impact on our own professional practice. Given that culture is defined by much more than political borders, GOLD Perinatal Care invites speakers to share their knowledge and expertise about perinatal health care from a geographically-based focus or a people-group focus from within a particular set of beliefs, lifestyle or minority. This year, our Culture and Diversity speakers will be presenting on:

Abstract: Breastfeeding mothers may turn to formula and/or bottles for many
reasons. Some supplementing with formula by bottle when they reach out for help, and for some moms,
supplementing by alternative methods may be very overwhelming. Some moms need or choose a combination
of breast milk and formula and others may decide to give occasional or regular bottles of expressed
milk. Whatever the reason, as health care professionals helping a mother to breastfeed, it is our
job to be able to help her to reach her own personal goals even when she needs, or chooses to use,
bottles or formula. Learn about baby-led bottle feeding and why it's so important, different types
of formula, their uses and how to prepare them, and how this all fits in with the WHO code and our
code of professional conduct.

Dr. Segal is director of the Lung Microbiome Program, and an associate professor of medicine at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. He received his MD from Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina, and his Master of Science from New York University. Dr. Segal is the principal investigator of multiple projects obtaining lower airway samples through research bronchoscopies as well as through clinically-indicated bronchoscopy. These projects include subjects with different pulmonary conditions wherein multiple culture-independent assays can be used to uncover bacteria presence in the lower airways and elucidate how they affect the host immune tone.

Jennifer Beane is an Assistant Professor at Boston University School of Medicine in the Section of Computational Biomedicine. Her research focuses on developing and applying computational methods to improve lung cancer risk stratification, early detection of lung cancer, and the development of new lung cancer chemoprevention strategies. She has contributed to research characterizing gene expression and cell population abundance changes in the airway field of injury associated with smoking and smoking cessation. She was involved in work leveraging the airway field of injury to develop a gene expression-based biomarker for the detection of lung cancer in patients undergoing bronchoscopy for suspicion of lung cancer. Research from her lab has also described alterations in lung squamous bronchial premalignant lesions and identified immune suppression mechanisms associated with lesion progression.

Dr. Bui is the Director of the Medical & Imaging Informatics (MII) Group at UCLA and holds the David Geffen Chair in Informatics.
Dr. Bui’s research includes informatics and data science for biomedical research and healthcare in areas related to distributed information architectures and mHealth; development, evaluation, and translation of AI-based methods (e.g., machine learning, reinforcement learning) for healthcare; and data visualization. His work bridges contemporary computational approaches with the opportunities arising from the breadth of biomedical observations and the electronic health record (EHR), tackling the associated translational challenges. In particular, his research looks to develop new ways to use both large-scale observational datasets and newer types of observations to improve aspects of cancer screening and diagnosis through more individually-tailored approaches.

Dr. Kidane is a Thoracic Surgeon with a special interest in minimally invasive and endoscopic approaches to benign and malignant thoracic/foregut disease. He completed his MD at the University of Toronto and his General Surgery Residency at Western University. He then completed Thoracic Surgery Residency at the University of Toronto. During this time, he benefited from the mentorship of global leaders in the fields of Thoracic Oncology (Dr Gail Darling) and Interventional Pulmonary Endoscopy (Dr Kazuhiro Yasufuku). He had the privilege of pursuing further training in Interventional Endoscopy at McGill with Dr Lorenzo Ferri and at the CHUM (Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal) with Dr Moishe Liberman.
Dr. Kidane joined the Department of Surgery at the University of Manitoba in 2016. Since that time, he has established the Endoscopic Submucosal Resection program in Manitoba for incision-less treatment of esophageal cancer. He established the Non-Intubated VATS (Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery) program in Manitoba, which has increased access to this modality for the management of high-risk thoracic patients as well as patients with malignant pleural effusions. All of these treatments are now being offered as outpatient therapy in the Wilf Tailleu Thoracic Endoscopy Clinic. Dr Kidane has a research interest in peri-operative care specifically in the thoracic surgery sphere but also in all surgical disciplines. His major interest is in lung protective ventilation during thoracic surgery as well as peri-operative practice variation and quality improvement. He also has a research interest in health services and outcomes research as it relates to esophageal and lung cancer. A major focus of his esophageal cancer research is in health-related quality of life. Esophageal cancer is a devastating illness with historically poor survival; furthermore, the treatment of esophageal cancer can also be difficult and cause significant reductions in the quality of life of patients with esophageal cancer. Dr Kidane’s program of research in esophageal cancer brings together elements of surgical quality, patient quality of life, oncologic outcomes and health resource utilization with the ultimate goal of identifying the right treatment for the right patient at the right time.
