SUMMARY:World Malaria Day
DESCRIPTION:“Zero malaria starts with me”\n\nAfter more than a decade of steady advances in fighting malaria\, progress has levelled off.  According to WHO’s latest World malaria report\, no significant gains were made in reducing malaria cases in the period 2015 to 2017. The estimated number of malaria deaths in 2017\, at 435 000\, remained virtually unchanged over the previous year. \n\nUrgent action is needed to get the global response to malaria back on track – and ownership of the challenge lies in the hands of countries most affected by malaria. On World Malaria Day 2019\, WHO joins the RBM Partnership to End Malaria\, the African Union Commission and other partner organizations in promoting “Zero malaria starts with me\,\,” a grassroots campaign that aims to keep malaria high on the political agenda\, mobilize additional resources\, and empower communities to take ownership of malaria prevention and care.

SUMMARY:Duke University Conference on Decolonizing Global Health 2020
DESCRIPTION:For anyone interested in global health\, public health\, or diversity training. Livestream the conference at the link below. As described by Duke:  \n\n\n\n“Global health as we know it today – in our research\, our practice\, and our programming – is the newest configuration of what was once ‘tropical health’ and ‘colonial medicine’. Yet in most major institutions and organizations today\, global health is practiced in a depoliticized and ahistorical manner. Oppressive roots of global health\, such as colonialism\, slavery\, and racism are often hidden by a focus on interventions that alleviate human suffering. As a result\, many global health practitioners and researchers\, despite good intentions\, perpetuate the very systems of oppression in which colonial medicine was embedded. The conference was borne out of a desire to organize folks (students\, activists\, academics\, practitioners\, researchers) who are passionate about global health but may find themselves at odds with the uncritical and depoliticized nature of its institutions. \n\n\n\nThe mission of the conference is to create a space for students\, academics\, and practitioners to join the rising tide of communities around the globe working to challenge structural violence that stems from historical colonialism and contemporary neo-colonialist practices in global health; and to work toward global health futures that are anti-colonial\, anti-racist\, and non-exploitative.” \n\n\n\nLivestream the conference. \n\n\n\nView more details at the Eventbrite page.

SUMMARY:Saving Children’s Lives in Global Health: When Public Health Measures Are Not Enough
DESCRIPTION:Featured Speaker: Peter A. Meaney\, MD MPH\, Associate Professor\, Anesthesia\, Critical Care and Pediatrics at Perelman School of Medicine\, The University of Pennsylvania\, Director\, Center for Global Pediatric Clinical Care \n\n\n\nPublic health measures improve the wellbeing of communities. Vaccination campaigns and the promotion of family planning are two examples. However\, sustainable health initiatives are sparse in low and middle-income countries.  \n\n\n\nIn his lecture\, Peter A. Meaney\, MD MPH examines when public health measures are not enough. He examines the need for acute care services in resource limited settings\, and looks at how health system and population characteristics impact delivery of care. He concludes by illustrating early successes and lessons learned from the Saving Children’s Lives Program.   \n\n\n\nThis lecture was part of Research and Education Week 2016 at Children’s National. You can find a full list of events for that week here.

SUMMARY:Less Talk More Action: Addressing Unconscious Bias Among Health Professionals
DESCRIPTION:Featured Speaker: Stephen B. Thomas\, PhD\, Professor\, Health Services Administration; Director\, Maryland Center for Health Equity; PI\, NIH-NIMHD Center of Excellence on Race\, Ethnicity & Health Disparities Research\,  School of Public Health University of Maryland \n\n\n\nThere is a growing body of evidence demonstrating unconscious bias has infected healthcare professionals.  \n\n\n\nIn his lecture\, Stephen B. Thomas\, PhD\, asserts the medical community must embrace the ultimate aim of uncovering the social\, cultural\, and environmental factors beyond the medical model affecting communities\, so as to address health disparities successfully.  \n\n\n\nHe generates self-reflection on how issues of racial and ethnic discrimination have plagued healthcare by examining the complexities of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. He looks at why the study meant to stop after six months lasted for forty years\, and how medical professionals utilized cultural/communal values and beliefs to recruit and retain the cohort of black men.   \n\n\n\nThomas then provides a re-enactment of an interaction between a patient and a doctor from his own healthcare system. He moves on to outlining a framework for addressing health disparities\, in a way that will “take race\, not as a variable to explain away\, but as a variable to put front and center.”  \n\n\n\nThomas closes his lecture by illustrating two examples of how he and others have applied this framework: free dental care with the Mission of Mercy\, and H.A.I.R. – a program to bring healthcare professionals to communities through collaborations with black barbershops.  \n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30qnTOA9wgE\n\n\n\n\nThis lecture was part of Research and Education Week 2019 at Children’s National.

SUMMARY:Think Before You Blink: Using Mindful Reflection to Slow Down and Think Deeply
DESCRIPTION:Featured Speaker: Margaret M. Plack\, PT\, DPT\, EdD\, Professor\, Doctor of Physical Therapy Program\, Department of Health\, Human Function  and Rehabilitation Sciences\, George Washington University \n\n\n\nIn a busy day\, medical professionals can rely on pattern recognition and heuristics to make quick decisions. While these techniques are often effective\, they can be inherently biased.  \n\n\n\nIn her lecture\, Margaret M.  Plack\, PT\, DPT\, EdD\, argues for why we should slow down to think and reflect. She opens by providing an overview of how we come to decisions: from our individual experiences and backgrounds\, to our perceptions\, to our assumptions and judgements\, ending with our decided action/behavior.  \n\n\n\nPlack moves on to how thinking too quickly can lead to clinical error\, and conveys the importance of reflection\, arguing the process is more analytical than most might think. She closes by providing three separate frameworks for developing a reflective mindset to help medical professionals improve their critical thinking and clinical reasoning.   \n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyMs3lGa35M\n\n\n\n\nThis lecture was part of Research and Education Week 2019 at Children’s National.

SUMMARY:Global Disease Disparity: Re-examining What We Thought We Knew About Rheumatic Heart Disease
DESCRIPTION:Featured Speaker: Andrea Beaton\, MD\, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics\, George Washington University Cardiology\, CNHS  \n\n\n\nIn the late 19th and early 20th century\, acute rheumatic fever was considered “childhood’s greatest enemy” in the United States. Now\, the disease is nearly eliminated in high-income settings. But\, rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease remain prominent in many parts of the world\, and is today a disease of disparity in the United States.   \n\n\n\nAndrea Beaton\, MD lectures on rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease. She opens the talk by providing a history of acute rheumatic fever in the United States\, from its beginning roots as scarlet fever in the 1860’s\, through the Jones Criteria and the mass production of penicillin\, to the near elimination of the disease in the 1970’s and 1980’s.   \n\n\n\nBeaton notes rheumatic heart disease remains prevalent in areas of the United States\, and argues that we need to re-examine our long-held beliefs about rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease to better diagnose and treat the disease\, starting with the idea that both are considered “solved cases.” \n\n\n\nUsing her work with Children’s National in Uganda as a case study\, Beaton further argues we must recognize strategies that worked in the United States may not be effective or acceptable in low-income settings. \n\n\n\n You can watch the full lecture here.

SUMMARY:The ABC’s of Refugee Health
DESCRIPTION:Featured Speaker: Curi Kim\, MD\, MDH Director\, Division of Refugee Health\, Office of Refugee Settlement\, Administration for  Children and Families\, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services  \n\n\n\nBy the end of 2017\, 68.5 million people worldwide were displaced – 16.2 million of whom were displaced in 2017 itself. 25.4 million of the 68.5 million were refugees\, an increase of 2.9 million from the year before.  \n\n\n\nWhile they are in good health generally\, refugees may fall sick in transition or while staying in new countries. Poor living conditions like camps with poor shelter\, sanitation\, and water/food insecurity\, and changes in lifestyle that increase stress can put a refugee’s health at risk.   \n\n\n\nLanguage barriers\, discrimination\, and their immigration status may make it difficult for refugees to access healthcare.  \n\n\n\nIn her lecture\, Curi Kim\, MD\, MPH educates on the distinction between refugees and other migrant populations in the United States\, and how these populations the United States\, including how they are medically screened. She also examines how immigration status affects refugees and migrants’ eligibility for health benefits. Kim’s presentation provides a holistic approach to caring for refugees and other migrant populations in the United States\, in a trauma-informed\, culturally sensitive manner.

SUMMARY:Global Health Justice\, Politics and Human Rights in the AIDS Pandemic – Getting to Zero
DESCRIPTION:Featured Speaker: Lawrence O. Gostin\, University Professor\, Founding O’Neill Chair in Global Health Law; Faculty Director\, O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law\, Georgetown Law; Director\, World Health Organization Collaborating Center on Public Health Law &  Human Rights; Co-Author of Public Health Law: Power\, Duty\, Restraint; Author\, Global Health Law \n\n\n\nMany individuals living with HIV/AIDS face social discrimination and human rights violations. Violations in the context of HIV include: the criminalization and enactment of laws that target people most vulnerable to or affected by HIV\, stigma and discrimination in the workplace and healthcare\, gender inequality\, and denial of HIV services.    \n\n\n\nLawrence O. Gostin lectures on the interconnected nature of global health and justice. He tracks the history of AIDS from a “socially stigmatized disease\, to one the United States and world embraced like no other epidemic…” He pays particular attention to the vital role social mobilization and civil society action played in transforming the world’s perception of the disease.  \n\n\n\nGostin also explores how basic public health interventions – such as HIV screening\, named reporting\, partner notification\, harm reduction\, and needle exchange – were ethically controversial during early implementation\, and provides policy solutions to ensure effective prevention\, harm reduction\, and treatment of HIV/AIDS.  \n\n\n\nYou can watch the full lecture here.

SUMMARY:EXCELeration – Getting Up to Speed Faster: The Development of Expertise and its Impact in Healthcare and Safety
DESCRIPTION:Featured Speaker: Gary Klein\, PHD Senior Scientist\, Macrocognition LLC  \n\n\n\nAfter someone finishes their training\, they might have difficulty adapting to their new job environment. In his lecture\, Gary Klein\, PHD examines why many individuals aren’t “up to speed” when first beginning their jobs\, and how they can transition quicker.  \n\n\n\nAs Klein has observed in fields from petrochemicals to child protective services\, many people associate getting “up to speed” with teaching more procedures\, adding more plays in their playbook. While procedures have their place\, Klein asserts it is dangerous to rely on them solely. He instead emphasizes the importance of developing tacit knowledge to excel in a new job.  \n\n\n\nKlein explores the tacit knowledge areas of: pattern recognition and perceptual discrimination through his experience working with nurses treating sepsis-affected infants\, judging typicality\, and mindsets. He also looks at mental models through his interviews with housewives about stain remover.  \n\n\n\nKlein closes the lecture by outlining different methods for organizations to develop tacit knowledge. These include: On-the-job-training\, scenario-based training\, simulations\, exploring what ifs\, and cognitive debriefing.   \n\n\n\nYou can watch the full lecture here.  \n\n\n\nThis lecture was part of Research and Education Week 2016 at Children’s National. You can find a full list of events for that week here.
