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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
