Podcasts about chief academic officer

What happens when the tests no longer reflect the education? In this episode, Davies Owens sits down with Sarah Novlan, Chief Academic Officer at Hill Country Christian School and a doctoral candidate studying the Harkness Seminar model, to explore why the once-revered AP program is falling short in today's classical Christian schools. Together, they unpack the misalignment between AP coursework and the mission of classical education, the challenges of teaching to a test, and the dumbing down of rigor and content, especially in the humanities. Sarah shares her own journey from AP instructor to advocate for better assessments and introduces CLT's new Enduring Courses, an emerging alternative that honors intellectual virtue, great books, and oral expression. If you've ever wondered whether AP or dual credit is still the right path - or what better options may be on the horizon - this conversation is a must.

Send us a textHepatologist and hepatology key opinion leader Naim Alkhouri joins Roger Green to remember his longstanding relationship with Stephen Harrison, announce his new role as Chief Academic Officer at Summit Clinical Research and share how, in this role, he will have exciting new avenues make an impact on many elements of MASH drug development and patient care. The conversation can be divided into two sections. In the first, Naim recounts his relationship with Stephen Harrison, beginning with his move to a different San Antonio clinical trial practice and continuing through his tenure at Arizona Liver Health, up until Stephen's untimely passing last April. He describes what it was like to work with Stephen, the man, and to learn from and share ideas with Stephen, the "visionary." Next, Naim announces that he has joined Summit Clinical Research as Chief Academic Officer. He describes the many aspects of his new role, from collaborating with Gail Hinkson, Mazen Noureddin and the rest of the Summit team in designing better clinical trials to the many kinds of medical education Summit can bring to various medical stakeholders. He describes the dramatic growth in the number of trial sites in the Summit network and additional growth he foresees. Like Gail Hinkson in the same episode, he discusses ways in which Alzheimer's drug development is similar to MASH. He also touches on obesity trials and the ways that Summit can help create more robust knowledge about obesity, not only through trials but also expert advisory boards. In the end, he makes a personal announcement that you will have to read to learn.

Send us a text00:00:00 - Surf's Up: Episode 6.9This conversation covers three topics. The first discusses the challenges of behavior change in dietary habits and ways governments can help, the second looks at what one can learn from wearing a CGM for 30 days, and the third celebrates the late Stephen Harrison while looking into the future of clinical trials and medical education. 00:06:12 - Global Think-Tank on SLD Roundtable, Part 3Behavior consultant Dr. Kristina Curtis joins Jörn Schattenberg, Louise Campbell and Roger Green to discuss issues related to patient-centered care. This conversation starts by focusing on the unique challenges that come with changing dietary habits. Changing this behavior is so challenging because the issues are so complex. People lack education about healthy eating habits. Even when they do, the high-pressure world in which we live often makes it easier simply to offer children fast food. Even parents who know better might allow their children (or spouses, or selves) not to eat vegetables after a trying day. The panel proceeds to discuss steps politicians can take to encourage healthier living and lifestyles if they wish, and why some are easier to execute than others. Finally, the group shares why they felt "enlightened" when leaving the SLD, and perhaps a little less alone. 00:21:34 - Newsmaker: Fatty Liver Alliance President Mike BetelThis interview with Fatty Liver Alliance President Mike Betel focuses on Year 3 of his 30-day Glucose Challenge. Mike wears a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for the entire month of July and provides daily videos on LinkedIn and the Fatty Liver Alliance website discussing what he learned. The first year was dedicated to teaching the impact of eating badly and the second year was similar, but less egregious. This year, Mike, who is pre-diabetic, set the goal of keeping his glucose in a "normal" range of 70-140 mg/dl. He did so successfully 97-98% of the time over the month, and discusses some of the tricks he learned that help keep glucose in range over that time (HINT: walking 10-15 minutes after meals helps a lot!). He also shares hints about how to look at overall weight (it's the fat that matters, not simple weight), why it is not healthy to believe you must finish every bite of food put in front of you, and how all this relates to sleep and overall health. He also provides seeds for thought about ways manufacturers and providers might educate patients effectively on these issues. 00:53:11 - Expert: Summit Clinical Research Chief Academic Officer Naim AlkhouriThis interview occurred in late April during our episode celebrating Stephen Harrison. Naim chose this interview to annouce that he was joining Summit as Chief Academic Officer. The first part of this discussion focuses on Stephen on two levels: the personal history between Naim and Stephen and the nature of the contributions Stephen has made to the science of MASH, and particularly clinical trial design. The second part of the interview discusses Naim's new role, the diffrent kinds of teaching, training and medical education he sees as pivotal to the future of MASLD and MASH therapies, and the other elements of his new role. While discuss the role, he shares several bright, challenging insights about when MASH-ville is heading. 01:15:09 - ConclusionThe business report discusses vacations on the SurfingMASH team, upcoming episodes, and grateful notes from Ukrainian listeners.

00:00:00 Surf's Up, Season 6, Episode 6.On April 23, 2024, our colleague and co-founder, Stephen Harrison, passed away suddenly. This week, Surfing the MASH Tsunami remembers Stephen with two of his closest associates and continues our annual MASH Drug Development roundtable held in his honor. 00:00:04:24 - A Deep Dive into Drug Development, Part 2The second portion of the Drug Development roundtable primarily focuses on three key issues. The first, uptake of resmetirom, starts with Naim Alkhouri discussing his experience in the Arizona Liver Health Clinics with over 650 patients in the year since resmetirom was approved and shifts to the various European panelists (Jörn Schattenberg, Louise Campbell and Sven Francque) estimating when it might be approved in their countries and how widely it might be reimbursed.  The second topic, incretin agonists, focuses on exciting prospects for other incretin agonists in development, as well as some semaglutide combination therapies. The third, NIT clinical trials, covers prospects that non-biopsy clinical trials might be approved sometime in the near future.00:16:20 - Remembering Stephen Harrison I: An Interview with Summit Clinical Research CEO Gail HinksonSummit CEO Gail Hinkson joins Roger Green for the first time on SurfingMASH to discuss her business partner. Gail discusses how the two originally formed Pinnacle Clinical Research and how Pinnacle led to Summit. She proceeds to discuss the current size and reach of both Pinnacle and Summit. Focusing on Summit, Gail describes the company as an Integrated Research Organization (IRO), highlighting its distinct role within the MASH firmament. In the final section of the interview, Gail discusses how Stephen's personality, goals, and vision continue to live on at Summit today.00:34:31 - Remembering Stephen Harrison II: An Interview with Naim Alkhouri Announcing That He Is Joining SummitNewly announced Summit Chief Academic Officer Naim Alkhouri joins this episode for a second time, but in a very different role. Naim discusses his personal history with Stephen and what he loved and respected about his "dear friend." He then makes a major announcement: he is joining Summit as Chief Academic Officer. He shares the many elements of this role, particularly his excitement that Summit can become the entity that educates a wide range of healthcare and commercial professionals on what MASH is and how it is treated. The scope of this vision, combined with what Gail discussed, portrays a level of energy, ambition and vision worthy of Stephen Harrison.00:55:55 - ConclusionAs part of this memorial week, Roger Green forgoes the usual business report, which will return next week.
