The GRIT Framework for Addressing Microaggressions
To the Editor We applaud Torres et al and JAMA Surgery for highlighting microaggression in health care. We addressed microaggression during a Mayo Clinic –sponsored continuing medical education conference: “GRIT (Growth, Resilience, Inspiration, and Tenacity) for Women in Medicine” in September 2018 and have since presented at other regional and national venues. Individuals experiencing microaggressions vary based on gender identity, ethnicity , race, age, disability, and even type and level of professional training.

Visitor Restriction Policies and Practices in Residential Continuing Care Facilities
People of all types visit family members and friends in residential continuing care facilities (nursing homes, auxiliary hospitals, and/or assisted living facilities). Issues over visitors arise periodically, as illustrated by media stories of visitor banning. No research or other articles were found to show how often or for what reasons visitor banning or restrictions occur.

On Answering the Call to Action For COVID-19: Continuing a Bold Legacy of Health Advocacy.
Authors: Morgan RC, Reid TN Abstract The disproportionately high burden of death and disability observed for racial and ethnic minorities under the Coronavirus pandemic necessitates sustained advocacy by the medical and public health communities around critical determinants of population health. Prompting our advocacy should be the understanding that our collective ability to rebound from such crises may ultimately hinge on protecting and equipping our most vulnerable racial-ethnic minority groups and any susceptible individuals within those populations.

Increasing the use of continuing professional development courses to strengthen trauma care in Ghana
Ghana Med J. 2020 Sep;54(3):197-200. doi: 10.4314/gmj.v54i3.11.ABSTRACTInjury is a major cause of death and disability in Ghana. Strengthening care of the injured is essential to reduce this burden. Trauma continuing professional development (CPD) courses are an important component of strengthening trauma care. In many countries, including Ghana, their use needs to be more uniformly promoted. We propose lowcost strategies to increase the utilization of trauma CPD in Ghana, especially in district hospitals and higher need areas. These strategies include developing plans by regional health directorates and teaching hospitals...
