mistrust in the organ and tissue donation system<\/li>\n<li>2SLGBTQI+ patients and caregivers in the organ and tissue donation system demand equitable policy revision from Health Canada and desire data-driven, behavior-based donor risk assessments rather than identity-based donor risk assessments<\/li>\n<li>2SLGBTQI+ transplant recipients experience discrimination and micro-aggressions when accessing routine transplant care, education for staff in 2SLGBTQI+ health and cultural humility could reduce these harms<\/li>\n<li>There are opportunities to improve shared decision making between transplant teams and transplant recipients especially regarding gender-affirming hormone therapy and sexual and reproductive healthcare<\/li>\n<li>2SLGBTQI+ specific peer support networks for donors

Trained as a clinician investigator, he serves as the Director of Research for the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Manitoba.<\/p>\n<p>Dr.Leeies leads a collaborative program of research with a focus on promoting health equity in organ and tissue donation and transplantation. This intersectional research program pairs with his clinical work as an organ donation specialist physician with the Transplant Manitoba Gift of Life program. Dr. Leeies extends his commitment to the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) through academic and clinical service as the Director of EDI nationally for the Canadian Critical Care Society, and the Chair and Co-Chair (respectively) of the EDI committees for Critical Care Medicine and Emergency Medicine in Manitoba.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Leeies was recently awarded the Preparing for Research by Engaging Public and Patient Partners (PREPPP) Award from the University of Manitoba Centre for Healthcare Innovation in support of the development of a 2SLGBTQIA+ Patient &amp; Public Advisory Team which will partner in the development of patient-centered research that explores the inequities that 2SLGBTQIA+ persons face in the Canadian organ and tissue donation and transplantation system. Through this work Dr. Leeies hopes to generate knowledge that can inform the reformation of structural and systemic elements of the health system that uphold these inequities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":32762,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32774","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","category-featured"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32774"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32774"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32774\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32776,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32774\/revisions\/32776"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32762"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
