Dr Fiedler is joined by Ahmad Sheikh of Kaiser Permanente San Francisco Medical Center in California, Joseph Cleveland of the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Aurora, Ravi Ghanta of Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, and Mara Antonoff of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
