The DEI Shift The DEI Shift

Join us for Part 2 of our discussion on Climate Change! Climate change is shifting how we live across the globe, impacting some communities far more than others, and forcing us to continue working to mitigate the damage and adapt to a new and changing environment. Nowhere is this need more important than in healthcare. Listen in on the rest of our conversation with Dr. Robert McLean (rheumatologist, advocate for climate justice, former ACP President) and Dr. Erika Moseson  (pulmonary and critical care physician, founder of Air Health Our Health) about the impact of climate on health and the ways we can work toward climate justice.

Learning Objectives:
Explore the intersection between health, healthcare disparities, and climate change.Describe the breadth of the impact of climate change on historically marginalized and disinvested communities and individuals.Understand the various strategies to respond to climate change being adopted at the community level, frontline, and systems level in two different areas in the United States.Explore advocacy around slowing, mitigating effects of, and planning/adapting to climate change and climate change emergencies.Credits:

Join us for Part 2 of the powerful discussion we started at the end of last season (Season 4, Episode 6), with our 2 experts on caring for people experiencing houselessness, James O’Connell, MD, MACP (Boston Healthcare for the Homeless) and Rachel Solotaroff, MD, FACP (Central City Concern- Portland, Oregon).
 
From the HIV epidemic to the rise of multi-drug resistant TB and the opioid crisis, those caring for people experiencing houselessness and housing insecurity saw the rise of each of these epidemics in their patient populations long before the rest of us.  The devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was particularly harsh for those in shelters or unhoused. Some say that caring for those experiencing houselessness reveals the fractures in our healthcare system earlier and more clearly than healthcare in other settings.  In our discussion, Drs. O’Connell and Solotaroff describe some of the obstacles faced by these patients and their healthcare providers in obtaining/delivering healthcare, and some of the opportunities to learn from and address these challenges.

Learning Objectives:
Identify challenges and lessons for both clinical teams and people experiencing houselessness in providing and accessing healthcare.Describe different models of housing support and healthcare delivery for which clinicians can advocate in order to support those experiencing and emerging out of houselessness, and to ultimately reach the goal of ending houselessness.Discuss some of the challenges facing houseless individuals who are seriously ill and/or at end-of-life, and facing those who are providing their end-of-life healthcare.Episode Credits:

In our discussion of the obstacles faced by these patients and the opportunities to learn from them, Drs. O’Connell and Solotaroff describe the root causes of houselessness, the best terms to use when addressing people experiencing houselessness, and some of the challenges in delivering healthcare to these patients.

As the COVID-19 pandemic abates, migration across the globe has increased. Health care professionals are likely to encounter immigrant populations who have unique needs. Join us in learning with Dr. Lorena Bonilla (Internal Medicine Hospitalist and Assistant Professor at Florida University/Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine) about factors that influence the health care of immigrants, how to approach patients with cultural sensitivity, and ways physicians can incorporate advocacy into their practice to help support migrants.

Definition of Terms:
In this podcast, we use the terms migrants, immigrants, refugees and asylum. Here we wanted to define these terms. A migrant is an individual who migrates from one location to another usually seeking employment or education. An immigrant is an individual who seeks to live in another country permanently. A refugee is an individual who is forced to flee their home because of violence or persecution. Additionally, someone who applies for asylum is seeking protection from dangers in their home country and is awaiting their claim for refugee status to be legally determined. For further reference, rescue.org has an article outlining these terms. https://www.rescue.org/article/migrants-asylum-seekers-refugees-and-immigrants-whats-difference.

Learning objectives:
1. Identify key social determinants of health that affect immigrant populations.
2. Recognize factors that influence the health care of migrants and refugees.
3. Summarize a situation from your own clinical experience in which understanding the culture of a patient enhanced your ability to care for them. Identify how you can be consistent in ensuring that you consider the role that culture plays in the lives of your patients.

The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the negative effects medical misinformation and disinformation can have on our communities. Despite these not being new phenomena, health professionals have seen first-hand during the pandemic how difficult it is to combat these pervasive problems. Join us in learning with Dr. Tracey Henry (General Internist and Associate Professor of Medicine at Emory University) about what constitutes medical misinformation and disinformation, the psychological factors that drive their spread, and ways we can combat them.

Learning Objectives
Define the terms misinformation, disinformation and malinformation. Describe the 3 psychological factors that drive the spread of misinformation and disinformation. Identify strategies physicians can use to combat misinformation and disinformation, such as psychological inoculation or “pre-bunking”.Credits:
