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.
