Interviewee: Erick Hung, MD, Professor of Clinical Psychiatry and Associate Dean for Students, University of California San Francisco School of Medicine Interviewer: Lisa Meeks, PhD, MA, Guest Editor, Academic Medicine Supplement on Disability Inclusion in Undergraduate Medical Education Description: In this episode of Stories Behind the Science, Dr. Lisa Meeks talks with Dr. Erick Hung (UCSF) about his paper, “Promoting Disability Inclusion Through an Expanded Conceptual Framework of the Learning Environment,” part of the Academic Medicine supplement on Disability Inclusion in UME. Their conversation explores how a single student story at UCSF sparked a full-scale rethinking of what it means to create an equitable learning environment. Dr. Hung walks us through the journey—from a campus task force to a conceptual framework that now guides systemic change nationwide. Together, they unpack the six domains of the learning environment, including a new and critical addition: the societal layer, which recognizes how broader cultural forces shape belonging, access, and success. The discussion touches on mentorship, student advocacy, technical standards reform, and what it means to move beyond compliance toward culture change. Dr. Hung also reflects on humility in leadership, the importance of systems thinking, and how conceptual frameworks become living roadmaps for equity. Listeners will come away with practical takeaways for schools and leaders—build peer networks, re-evaluate policies through an inclusion lens, and invite students into the co-creation of change.

During the early weeks of the pandemic, Tim Hayward spent 14 days in a coma. He remembers this time vividly – his days and nights filled with strange, incandescent visions and hallucinations. That experience is something he would never choose to revisit but, around the world, large numbers of people are deliberately seeking out powerfully altered states.In this ten-part series, Tim sets out to better understand a group of substances that induce altered states: psychedelics.There's been a surge of interest in their therapeutic potential for various mental health conditions - as well as a range of other clinical possibilities. As research around the world ramps up after years of taboo and prohibition he tries to get to grips with - or at least get a clearer sense of - how science, culture, politics and business might all interact in this changing psychedelic landscape, and what it all might mean.He also explores what might be happening in the brain during a trip and whether, by studying psychedelics, we might uncover more about consciousness, imagination and even the mysteries of reality itself.In this final episode, Tim explores how much there is still to understand about the therapeutic possibilities of psychedelics and, furthermore, what other insights research might lead us towards. Will curious minds be given the space to roam free?

Ina Park, MD, is back again for a focused look at her (second) favorite sexually transmitted infection: syphilis (favorite because it's fascinating). She says, “it's one of the most challenging conditions to diagnose in clinical medicine because it literally can look like anything.” Join Ina and Tammy as they explore how syphilis was almost eliminated around 2000 and then surged again to current rates of infection in the US. Ina spotlights how a rise in congenital syphilis has fueled a mobilization in public health efforts, even while she celebrates declines in rates of the most infectious types of syphilis. As national syphilis screening guidelines are adapted to increase screening, including in emergency departments, Ina is optimistic for a reduction in future syphilis rates. But here's the takeaway for healthcare providers and patients alike: keep syphilis on your radar. A quick shot of penicillin early-on can save everyone a lot of trouble.  Links:  Connect with Dr. Ina Park on her website, LinkedIn,  X, and Instagram  Resources mentioned in episode  CDC Geographic Risk Calculator  Strange Bedfellows: Adventures in the Science, History, and Surprising Secrets of STDs  CAPTC related training and resources  STI Clinical Update Webinar – Introduction to Syphilis and Congenital Syphilis CAPTC Disease Intervention Trainings  Previous episodes with Dr. Ina Park  Dr. Ina Park Unwraps the CDC's New 2023 STI Report  S4 E7 Dan Savage on the Magic Question “What are you into?” & Dr. Ina Park on How Providers Can Help  S3 E7: Breaking Down STI Stigma with Dr. Ina Park & Courtney Brame   S1 E6: Fighting STIgma With Humor & Honesty with Dr. Ina Park    Ina Park MD, MS, is the author of Strange Bedfellows: Adventures in the Science, History, and Surprising Secrets of STDs.

CDC's 2023 STI Report is in, and for the first time in years, there's good news. Tune in to our latest episode with Dr. Ina Park, a nationally recognized expert on STIs, to learn why she is cautiously optimistic about the new data trends in chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. Dr. Park expertly navigates the report with our host, Tammy Kremer, explaining how the previous surge in STIs has begun to slow, while prevalence continues to be high in certain “STI microclimates." Dr. Park stresses the importance of maintaining momentum through increased testing, focused prevention efforts for disproportionately impacted communities, and reducing stigma around STIs. Listen in to discover how disease intervention specialists are battling syphilis on Native American reservations with plenty of penicillin, a trusty car, and heroic determination. Overall, Dr. Park envisions a world where discussing infections is as routine and stigma-free as talking about the common cold.   Read the transcript of the episode.  Links:  Connect with Dr. Ina Park on her website, LinkedIn, and Instagram  Resources mentioned in episode  CDC 2023 Sexually Transmitted Infections Report  Strange Bedfellows: Adventures in the Science, History, and Surprising Secrets of STDs  CAPTC-related training and resources  CAPTC Disease Intervention Trainings  CAPTC STI Clinical Training  Previous episodes with Dr. Ina Park  S4 E7 Dan Savage on the Magic Question “What are you into?” & Dr. Ina Park on How Providers Can Help  S3 E7: Breaking Down STI Stigma with Dr. Ina Park & Courtney Brame   S3 E3: Monkeypox, What's The Hype? with Dr. Ina Park  S1 E6: Fighting STIgma With Humor & Honesty with Dr. Ina Park  Bio of Guest:  Ina Park MD, MS, is the author of Strange Bedfellows: Adventures in the Science, History, and Surprising Secrets of STDs.

It’s STI Awareness Month, so let's take some time to brush up on our knowledge of sexually transmitted infections. You may think you already know everything there is to know, but trust me, you don't! In today's show, we're going to discuss some surprising and lesser-known facts about STIs that challenge the conventional wisdom. For example, is someone who has a larger number of sexual partners necessarily more likely to have an STI than someone with fewer partners? Likewise, are things like pubic hair grooming and the rise of online dating apps affecting STI rates? For this show, we're revisiting my conversation with Dr. Ina Park from all the way back in episode 39. She is an associate professor at the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine and author of the book Strange Bedfellows: Adventures in the Science, History, and Surprising Secrets of STDs. Why is it the case that having more sexual partners doesn’t necessarily translate to having more STIs? Broadly speaking, how do some of our sexual practices shape STIs? What’s the relationship between pubic hair grooming and STIs? What are some tips for individuals who want to talk about STIs with a sexual and/or romantic partner? How can we break down STI taboo and stigma to facilitate more open conversations on the subject? You can learn more about Ina’s work here. Got a sex question?

Why is ozone therapy popular and controversial? What's are differences among different methods of administration? What about Direct IV ozone injections (DIV method), which is considered a big “no-no” by many ozone doctors? How does ozone therapy work and why is it so powerful? Why is ozone therapy not approved by the FDA and not supported by the mainstream medical community? What happened in Sierra Leone when Dr. Rowen and Dr. Robins went there to provide ozone treatments to Ebola patients in 2014? What is oxidation medicine? Ozone therapy pioneer and educator Dr. Robert Rowen provides tremendous insights while answering these questions. Robert Jay Rowen, M.D., is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Johns Hopkins University and the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine, acquiring double board certifications (and recertifications) in Family Practice, and Emergency Medicine, and additionally in Clinical Metal Toxicology. Dr. Rowen is affectionately known as “The Father of Medical Freedom” for pioneering the nation's first statutory protection for alternative medicine in 1990. Two years later, Alaska's governor Hickel appointed him to a term on the Alaska State Medical Board and the appointment survived a legislative battle sponsored by organized medicine due to overwhelming public support. He is internationally known for his clinical practice and teaching in oxidation medicine. He was the Oxidation Workshop chairman for ACAM, and teaches oxidation to interested professionals in hands-on sessions quarterly in his office. He was editor-in-chief of the highly respected Second Opinion Newsletter from 2000 until August 2014.

Smiling is a universal symbol of happiness. However, there are instances when the ability to smile is taken away from a person, outside of mere saddening and heartbreaking life occurrences. There are situations when one chooses not to smile because of how it looks on them. In a 2019 survey of 2,000 Americans by Snow Teeth Whitening, 57% of people said they cover their mouths when they laugh because they were ashamed of their teeth' appearance, with 7 in 10 people admitting self-consciousness about their teeth due to lack of whiteness, crookedness, and gaps between teeth. However, beyond the sphere of dental aesthetics, there lies an array of dental issues that seep deeper than color and shade. The dental specialty of orthodontics focuses on the skeletal issues of the teeth, such as crookedness of teeth, malposition of the jaw, and misalignment of bite patterns, that are usually corrected by traditional braces, clear aligners like Invisalign®, and retainers that seek to correct these issues and restore one's confidence to smile.We are joined by Orthodontic resident dentist Dr. Vivian Chen. She received her BA in Biological Sciences from Columbia University, DDS from the University of California San Francisco School of Dentistry, and is currently completing her Orthodontics residency at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. Previously, she was a Fulbright Research Fellow in Chengdu, China, where she was a research assistant to Dean Xue-Dong Zhou, the Director of State Key Laboratory of Oral Diseases at Sichuan University for dental public health. She was also a research assistant at UCSF School of Dentistry's Department of Orofacial Sciences. Through her social media platform, she promotes oral hygiene and oral health, as well as academic guidance for prospective Orthodontics trainees.Livestream Air Date: March 5, 2023Follow Vivian Chen, DDS: InstagramFollow Friends of Franz Podcast: Website, Instagram, FacebookFollow Christian Franz Bulacan (Host): Instagram, YouTubeThankful to the season's brand partners: Covry, House of M Beauty, Nguyen Coffee Supply, V Coterie, Skin By Anthos, Halmi, By Dr Mom, LOUPN, Baisun Candle Co., RĒJINS, Twrl Milk Tea, 1587 Sneakers

Dan Savage is a sex-advice columnist and podcaster, and Ina Park is a sex positive STI researcher, physician, and author. The two come together in this episode to discuss desire, pleasure, and how to communicate about what feels good with partners and providers. Dan delves into discovering kinks, pleasure as we age, and trying new things alone and with partners. Ina reflects on her experiences as a provider, having conversations with patients around sex and pleasure as bodies, needs, and abilities change.   Dan says that gay people might be better at sex, “not because we're magic...we use the 4 magic words ‘what are you into?'” Ina explains that honest communication with a partner, a physician, a sex columnist, or a therapist knocks down barriers to explore sex and discover pleasure. The two emphasize the importance of both having providers and friends (with a good sense of judgment) with whom you can discuss sex freely.   This is our first episode of the 3-episode mini-series on pleasure.  Resources:   Connect with Dan: https://savage.love/, @dansavage on Instagram, and @fakedansavage on Twitter/X  Connect with Ina: https://www.inapark.net/ and @InaParkMD on Twitter/X  Learn how to include pleasure in sexual health history-taking from the National Coalition for Sexual Health: https://nationalcoalitionforsexualhealth.org/tools/for-healthcare-providers/video-series    Bios:   Dan Savage is a sex-advice columnist, podcaster and author whose graphic, pragmatic, and humorous advice has changed the cultural conversation about monogamy, gay rights, religion, and politics. “Savage Love,” Dan's sex-advice column, was first published in 1991 and is now syndicated across the United States and Canada.

When Dr. Akil Palanisamy recounts his recovery from a debilitating illness during medical school, he says it began with two words: "bone broth." In hindsight, this may not sound so surprising, because Akil (or "Dr. Akil," as his patients know him) has been a doctor, author, and educator at the forefront of the food-as-medicine movement for the past 20 years. Dr. Akil has been described by leading integrative doctor Mark Hyman as "a unique triple threat in the field," combining expertise in functional medicine, Ayurveda, and the Paleo diet and ancestral lifestyles. At the time that bone broth was given to him as a "prescription," however, Dr. Akil was a vegetarian. He had renounced meat a few years earlier "for ethical, environmental, and spiritual reasons" and had become an active member of the San Francisco Vegetarian Society while in medical school there, having completed his undergraduate work at Harvard. The Ayurvedic practitioner he had sought out for his ailment -- because conventional medicine and physical therapy did not help -- was well aware of this. But she saw it as a necessary means to nourish his depleted body and rebalance his excess "vata" (or "air" energy). Dr. Akil was torn. What had started out as a repetitive stress injury to his wrist -- while writing his senior thesis in biochemistry at Harvard University -- had now escalated into chronic pain, severe fatigue, and a weight loss of 30 pounds (from his already lean baseline of 138). He had to take a prolonged leave of absence from medical school. In his desperation, he turned to the story of the Buddha. After practicing an extreme form of asceticism that left the Buddha weak and near death, he was visited by a milkmaid who offered some milk. Despite the taboos, he accepted the offer and eventually regained his health. The Buddha would go on to teach about "The Middle Way," living by neither indulgence nor deprivation. Dr. Akil reached a similar turning point. He started with bone broth, which he could rationalize as being "animal bones that were to be discarded." Eventually, after more stalled periods of healing, he decided to experiment with eating meat again. "I could not fulfill my dream of becoming a doctor without a healthy body." With a nutrient-dense diet that supported his individual constitution, Dr. Akil tried other alternative and complementary therapies, including a holistic chiropractor who practiced functional medicine -- or root-cause medicine. He would heal his gut, regain his weight, and eliminate the pain for a full recovery, allowing him to graduate from the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine, then complete a residency program at Stanford Medical Center. He went on to receive a fellowship in integrative medicine with Dr. Andrew Weil at the University of Arizona, study Ayurveda in Southern India at the Arya Vaisya Chikitsalayam, and certify in mind-body medicine from the Georgetown University Center. With this breadth and depth of knowledge, Dr. Akil has treated thousands of people living with chronic diseases and conducts clinical research studies. He serves as the Department Chair for Integrative Medicine at the Sutter Health Institute for Health and Healing (IHH) and as IHH Physician Director for Community Education. Dr. Akil has also served as a consultant with the Medical Board of California for many years. A widely known speaker and educator, he is the author of two books, The Paleovedic Diet: A Complete Program to Burn Fat, Increase Energy, and Reverse Disease -- a customized Paleo diet that incorporates spices, specific fruits and vegetables, intermittent fasting, and an Ayurvedic lifestyle -- and most recently, The Tiger Protocol: An Integrative 5-Step Program to Treat and Heal Your Autoimmunity. Dr. Akil lives in Sacramento, CA. In his free time, he enjoys playing tennis, traveling, and spending time with his wife and daughter. Originally from India, he grew up in Singapore before immigrating to America. Join us in conversation with this "Middle Way" practitioner of medicine and healing who is skillfully weaving East and West, ancestral and novel.

This month, we're going to explore a significant set of recent changes to U.S. HIV clinical guidelines. These changes are momentous in and of themselves, but they also reveal an important ongoing shift in how we fundamentally approach the clinician-patient relationship, especially when it comes to pregnant and infant-feeding people who are living with HIV.     Joining us for this conversation are two people who have been deeply involved in these guideline changes: Lealah Pollock, M.D., and Ciarra (Ci Ci) Covin. Dr. Pollock is an associate professor of Family Community Medicine at the University of California-San Francisco School of Medicine, and she's a member of the expert panel that recently updated the guidelines we discuss. Ci Ci Covin is an HIV advocate and mother of two who has been living with HIV since 2008, and she's a program manager at The Well Project, a nonprofit organization devoted to informing and supporting women who are living with, or vulnerable to, HIV.     Read the transcript: https://www.thebodypro.com/article/future-hiv-care-podcast-15-breastfeeding-chestfeeding     This month's episode is hosted by Myles Helfand.

When Chinh Pham was 10 years old, he and his family, like thousands of others, fled the chaotic capital of what was then South Vietnam on the final day of the Vietnam War. They were rescued by the 7th Fleet of the U.S. Navy, and eventually landed in the United States, where they began a new life. Today, Chinh is a successful intellectual property lawyer in a large international law firm, and is at the midpoint of his one-year term as President of the Boston Bar Association, the first Asian American ever to serve in that position. In this episode of Higher Callings, I spoke with Chinh about his decision to become a lawyer, his leadership positions in a number of nonprofits, his commitment to mentoring young professionals, and his work with the Boston Bar Association.  We began our conversation with Chinh recounting his family's rescue from the South China Sea, and that portion of Chinh's interview will be published in a later episode of the podcast. This episode focuses on Chinh's adult years, beginning with his decision to attend law school at the University of California San Francisco School of Law after graduating from Berkeley, years after his family's arrival in the United States.You can find Chinh's law firm bio here:  https://www.gtlaw.com/en/professionals/p/pham-chinh-hYou can find the Boston Bar Association's news release profiling Chinh as he began his term as BBA President here: https://bostonbar.org/news/chinh-h-pham-begins-term-as-new-bba-president/

The virus that causes COVID-19 has now become endemic after it first emerged two and a half years ago. In the pandemic's early days, many countries' public health officials curtailed economic and social activity to various degrees, prescribed social distancing, enforced lockdowns, required masking, and pushed for other nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) to reduce illness and death. Those NPIs imposed an enormous economic and social cost by greatly reducing individual liberty in exchange for promised health benefits. Elsewhere, most famously in Sweden, public health officials were fiercely criticized for implementing less‐​harsh “light touch” NPI measures. Sweden's approach presents a fascinating quasi‐​natural experiment to evaluate the merits and demerits of the more liberal approach to managing the COVID-19 pandemic and to evaluate whether the loss in personal and economic freedom was partly compensated by a decrease in illness and death. Sweden's outcomes on viral spread, excess mortality, and the socioeconomic consequences of COVID-19 compare well with other countries and suggest that strict NPI policies imposed more harm than good.Joining us to discuss how well Sweden's approach worked are Jeanne Lenzer, an independent investigative journalist and regular contributor to The BMJ who has studied this issue; Vinay Prasad, MD, MPH, an epidemiologist and public health policy analyst who is an associate professor at University of California San Francisco School of Medicine; Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD, professor of medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine and coauthor of the Great Barrington Declaration that urged a pandemic policy of “focused protection”; and Johan Norberg, senior fellow at the Cato Institute, who resides in Stockholm, Sweden, and has studied as well as experienced his country's pandemic policy. The discussion will be moderated by Cato Institute senior fellow Jeffrey A. Singer. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.
