The global BALANCE trial 🌏 has proven that a 7-day antibiotic course can be as effective as 14 days for treating bloodstream infections, reducing hospital stays and minimizing risks like antibiotic resistance. Sinai Health played a pivotal role in this landmark study by leveraging its new clinical trial framework, which expands research to general ward patients—a model first honed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Michael Fralick and Dr. Michael Detsky were site leads, demonstrating that inclusive, physician-led trials can transform care while advancing global collaboration. But our innovation doesn’t stop there. A new course for students is training the next generation of clinical trial leaders. This is the future of healthcare research: inclusive, impactful, and patient-centered. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4g3PO4n #HealthInnovation #ClinicalTrials #GlobalCollaboration

Together, let's build a future where people are not measured by their disabilities, but instead by who they are and what they are capable of. Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities, a day that aims to increase awareness and remind us of the role we have to play in fostering an inclusive environment that is accessible to all. We must value diverse abilities and be willing to learn from the experiences of disabled people. Let's work to build a more equitable and sustainable future for all Canadians. #InclusionIsForEveryone #IDPWD
