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. 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: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.
