Dear DISC Members & Investigators,
We're so grateful to our DISC Community for engaging and learning with us throughout the summer! The DISC enjoyed a jam-packed seminar schedule from June to September, with 3 DISC Journal Clubs, 2 Implementation Science Seminars and we also launched a new series on Policy in D&I hosted by Dr. Erika Crable. If you weren't able to attend our kickoff Policy Panel in early September, visit our DISC Youtube to watch the session featuring Drs. Ross Brownson, Jonathan Purtle and Nicole Stadnick and their reflections on the field of policy D&I. Our goal is to archive more of our content so that you can revisit DISC events when it's most convenient!
Please join us for our next DISC Journal Club and Works in Progress featuring Lindsey Wade and David Mier on October 14th at 2:00pm PDT! David and Lindsey will lead a discussion around how the Hospital Association of San Diego and Imperial Counties develops their Community Health Needs Assessment and how local hospital leaders and policymakers use community data to clarify priorities. Please join us and expect a unique and rich discussion on how policymakers, public health and hospital leaders, and researchers can collaborate to create change. Submit your discussion questions in advance here!
Lastly, tomorrow we wrap up our Early Bird Specials for the UC San Diego ACTRI DISC "How to get funded in D&I Science Workshop" on October 25th and 26th! The 2-day, virtual workshop will educate attendees about current funding opportunities for D&I research and feature presentations from public, private, national and international funding agencies. Make sure to reserve your ticket by Friday to snag the reduced registration rate!
With gratitude,
The UC San Diego ACTRI DISC Team

 Dr. Gabriel Wardi completed his undergraduate and graduate education in Atlanta. He moved to San Diego for his residency in Emergency Medicine where he served as the education chief resident during his final year of residency. He is the first graduate of the joint Critical Care Medicine fellowship offered by the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care and Department of Emergency Medicine. He joined faculty in 2017 and attends in both the emergency department and ICUs. He was recently promoted to Associate Professor in both departments. Dr. Wardi’s research interests include sepsis, the ED-ICU interface, resuscitation, cardiac arrest management, and development of novel educational curriculum. He is the Medical Director for Hospital Sepsis at UC San Diego and directs the Residency Transition Course for the School of Medicine. Outside the hospital he enjoys international travel, cooking, running and reading.
- How would you describe your research in one sentence? The primary focus of my research is to use large data sets and advanced analytics to improve detection and treatment of patients with sepsis.
- What are three key research or practice issues that you are most passionate about?
- Engagement with front-line staff about early detection and improved care of sepsis patients
- Effective translation of clinical sepsis research into clinical practice
- Developing novel educational curriculum for our medical students and residents at UC San Diego
- What is something interesting or unique about your background? I am the first emergency medicine physician at UC San Diego who completed a critical care fellowship.
- What have you gained from your involvement in the DISC? As a physician involved in research and quality, everyone assumes that medical education includes significant work with quality improvement and implementation science. Fortunately, I've had good success with implementation of various initiatives, but the opportunity to work with the experts in the DISC has helped me realize the theoretical and practical applications that can translate a good idea into an evidence-based "home run" that end-users appreciate and ultimately improves patient care.
