• SCCMPod-558: The Future of Xenotransplantation

  In this episode of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) Podcast, host Diane C. McLaughlin, DNP, AGACNP-BC, CCRN, FCCM, speaks with Muhammad Mansoor Mohiuddin, MD, MBBS, DSc (Hon), FAST, director of the Cardiac Xenotransplantation Program at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, about his Thought Leader presentation at the 2025 Critical Care Congress, The Remarkable Potential of Xenotransplantation, and his groundbreaking work on that subject. Dr. Mohiuddin discusses the need to address the global shortage of donated organs and the use of genetically modified pig organs as a viable solution. He explains the science behind xenotransplantation, including the use of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology to delete immunogenic pig genes and insert human-compatible genes. The conversation explores the unique immunologic challenges of xenotransplantation, particularly antibody-mediated rejection and the need for tailored immunosuppression protocols. Ethical considerations include religious perspectives and public opinion. Dr. Mohiuddin emphasizes the importance of continued research funding and collaboration with industry partners to advance clinical trials and refine genetic modifications. Listeners will gain insight into how decades of research are transforming xenotransplantation and its potential to extend life and reshape the future of organ transplantation.

• SCCMPod-557: Building Age-Friendly Health Systems in Critical Care

  In this episode of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) Podcast, host Marilyn Bulloch, PharmD, BCPS, FCCM, speaks with Terry Fulmer, PhD, RN, FAAN, President of the John A. Hartford Foundation, about her Norma J. Shoemaker Honorary Lecture at the 2025 Critical Care Congress and the transformative impact of the 4Ms framework—What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility—on age-friendly critical care. Dr. Fulmer shares her journey from bedside critical care nurse to national leader in geriatric health, emphasizing the need to adapt healthcare systems to meet the needs of an aging population. She discusses the development of the Age-Friendly Health Systems initiative, a collaboration among the John A. Hartford Foundation, Institute for Healthcare Improvement, American Hospital Association, and Catholic Health Association. Now implemented in nearly 5000 facilities, the initiative is supported by evidence from models such as the Acute Care of the Elderly (ACE) units, Hospital Outcomes Program for Elders (HOPE) initiative, and Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem Elders (NICHE) program. The episode highlights the January 2025 adoption of a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services measure that incorporates the 4Ms into inpatient care standards. Dr. Fulmer explains how hospitals of all sizes can implement age-friendly practices using existing resources and how multiprofessional collaboration is key to success. She also discusses findings from a national survey from Age Wave and the John A. Hartford Foundation, which revealed that only 19% of older adults feel their clinicians consistently address all 4Ms. Listeners will gain insight into how the 4Ms framework improves outcomes and promotes functional recovery in older adults. Whether you're a clinician, educator, or healthcare leader, this episode offers practical strategies and a compelling call to action to join the age-friendly health systems movement.

• SCCMPod-555: Breaking Barriers Through Mentorship in Critical Care

  Mentorship can be transformative, especially for immigrant critical care professionals navigating unique career challenges. In this episode of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) Podcast, host Ludwig Lin, MD, speaks with Fajun Wang, MD, a neurocritical care specialist and assistant professor at St. Louis University School of Medicine, about his experience in SCCM’s Immigrant Critical Care Professional (ICCP) mentorship program. Dr. Wang shares his journey from medical school in China to building a neurocritical care service line in the United States, highlighting how mentorship shaped his path at every stage. He reflects on the challenges of entering a healthcare system in a new country and emphasizes the benefits of connecting mentors and mentees who share similar backgrounds and experiences. Dr. Wang’s ICCP mentor provided guidance during the launch of his ICU leadership role, offering insights into service line development and support during challenging situations. The ICCP program, developed from a proposal by José L. Díaz-Gómez, MD, MAS, FASE, FCCM, launched its first six-month pilot in January 2024. The program focuses on five key domains: psychological and emotional support, self-efficacy, career development, scholarly support, and role modeling. A second pilot, currently under way, extends the mentorship to a full year. This episode will inspire listeners to seek mentorship and community to advance their careers and grow their confidence. Mentorship is not just about guidance—it’s about building relationships that empower individuals to lead, innovate, and give back.
