48 episodes

A podcast focusing on shifting the way we think and talk about diversity, equity, and inclusion in the medical field. The title, The DEI Shift, uses a common acronym DEI (standing for diversity, equity, and inclusion) as a play on the idea of a “day shift”, the time in the hospital when the daytime teams come in, bring fresh perspectives to the issues that arose overnight, and progress patient care forward. This podcast is aimed at: 1) bringing new perspectives and a more inclusive approach to the discussions of diversity issues in healthcare, 2) shifting us away from avoidance, fatigue, and negative connotations that have become attached to these topics, and 3) transitioning these discussions from mere classroom didactics into relevant, day-to-day, organic conversation and application.

    Pediatric-to-Adult Transitions of Care, Part 2: Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

    Pediatric-to-Adult Transitions of Care, Part 2: Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

    Pick up where we left off in Part 1 (Season 4, Episode 3) by applying the pediatric-to-adult transitions strategies we learned in that episode to a specific patient population: those with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD), like Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Transitions can be one of the most trying and health-destabilizing things a young person and their caregivers experience. In this episode, we learn from the experience and wisdom of Dr. Susan Hingle and Dr. Mai Pham, who have not only navigated this process with their patients, but with their own children as well. Their personal experiences have informed and fueled their wonderful professional work in this space as they demonstrate how we can provide and advocate for equitable care for this patient population.

    Learning Objectives:
    1. Define Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD), and the specific example of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Describe how these are diagnosed.
    2. Describe key issues that healthcare teams should keep in mind for patients with IDD, including ASD, as they transition from childhood to adolescence to adulthood.
         a. In the clinic
         b. In the ER/hospital
    3. Give examples of advocacy efforts for healthcare for members of this community.
    4. Strategize how one can create inclusive healthcare environments, spaces, and culture for people with IDD, including ASD.
