Action Learning Network

こんにちは 👋 and welcome to the newest members of the ACTION family!

We’re excited to welcome the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, Osaka University, Tokyo Women’s Medical University, and the University of Tokyo to our growing network. We can't wait to see where this collaboration takes us! ❤️🇯🇵

🎉Join us in welcoming Tori to the ACTION/Device Nexus team! 🎉

Tori joined us in May as a Data Management Specialist, excited to combine her clinical research background with the data and operations side of research to help advance patient care and outcomes.

Her favorite part of ACTION is the team's shared commitment to improving patient outcomes and the supportive, collaborative environment where everyone is eager to learn and help one another.

Outside of work, Tori enjoys playing soccer and volleyball, reading, creating art, crocheting, planning trips to new destinations, and sampling ice cream everywhere she travels. ⚽📖🍦

Welcome aboard, Tori! We're excited to have you on the team! 👏

Join us tomorrow! 🌟

The Women in ACTION group is hosting Moral Support: Your Values and Moral Agency on June 30, 2026, at 4:00 PM ET, featuring Alyssa Burgart, MD, MA.

This interactive webinar will explore moral distress, moral injury, and moral courage, while providing space to reflect on how your personal and professional values influence the care you provide to patients with complex needs. The session will also include small-group breakout discussions for reflection and peer connection.

Registration link available on Basecamp and in today's Forecast newsletter!

Open to all ACTION members!

As care continues to evolve in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), early cardiac management remains essential.

Cardiac disease often develops before symptoms appear, which makes routine surveillance and longitudinal care critical.

At ACTION, we’re focused on:
🔹 Earlier recognition of cardiac involvement
🔹 Consistent monitoring strategies
🔹 Coordinated, multidisciplinary care

Because earlier recognition creates the opportunity for better outcomes.
