Newborn Hep B vaccination has been critical to preventing transmission, protecting infants, and reducing long term liver disease and cancer.

Let's all welcome our next spotlight, Joel Dumonsau! Joel is a second-year medical student at Creighton University School of Medicine in Omaha, Nebraska.

Originally from Superior, Wisconsin, he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of Minnesota before working in the U.S. Senate, on multiple political campaigns, and in executive communications. His experiences in advocacy and public service continue to inform his commitment to advancing health equity and justice through medicine.

At Creighton, Joel serves as president of Phi Rho Sigma and is actively involved in the American Medical Association, where he holds leadership roles as both chapter and region policy chair and serves on several Medical Student Section committees. He is also deeply engaged in student-led free clinics, working with marginalized patients including immigrants, unhoused individuals, new mothers, and the uninsured—efforts that have strengthened his dedication to systemic change in healthcare delivery.

Joel is involved in clinical research focused on gynecologic cancers and palliative care for patients with life-limiting diagnoses. In his free time, he enjoys supporting FC Barcelona, singing choral music, traveling, visiting national parks, and participating in canine sports with his Jack Russell Terrier, Jett.

Following graduation, Joel plans to pursue an internal medicine residency and a fellowship in hematology-oncology.

Welcome, Joel 🐕

Our upcoming virtual event will explore why today’s clinicians need to stay informed about FDA actions, and how regulatory decisions directly influence clinical practice and patient care.

The event will also address timely questions around direct-to-consumer (DTC) drug marketing and what clinicians should understand about how these promotions influence patient expectations.

Join us to gain a sharper understanding of how FDA oversight intersects with patient safety and the everyday realities of clinical practice.
