Stigmatizing language may be part of our daily interactions with patients without even realizing it. It can appear in charts, regardless of race, gender, gender identity, ability, or socioeconomic status, but it has been found to occur more frequently for groups who are traditionally marginalized. How often do you reflect on the language you use with patients and how it might be interpreted by them, depending on their unique circumstances? And what are we doing as preceptors to help our residents and students understand the importance of language in their patient interactions?

While health inequity is considered by many to be the #1 issue in healthcare today, we're still just learning to talk about it as part of pharmacy education. As preceptors, health equity and social determinants of health may not have been a language we learned as part of our education, and yet we rely on preceptors to help develop our learners in this area. What is our role in incorporating conversations and education around health equity and social determinants of health to better educate our learners in improving the lives of patients?  HostKathy Schott, PhDVice President, Education & OperationsCEimpactGuestSally Arif, PharmD, BCCPProfessor of Pharmacy Practice/Clinical Cardiology PharmacistMidwestern University College of PharmacyRush Medical CenterChicago, ILGet CE: CLICK HERE TO CPE CREDIT FOR THE COURSE!CPE Information Learning ObjectivesAt the end of this course, preceptors will be able to:1.

Many of us avoid giving feedback because it can feel negative and uncomfortable. We're afraid of a poor reaction from the student and we really don't want to hurt their feelings – after all – they already have so much pressure on them. And let's be honest - sometimes, we just want to be liked.And yet as preceptors, giving good feedback is probably one of the most important jobs we have. If our learners – whether students or residents - are going to be successful, deliver excellent patient care, and even keep patients safe, they've got to hear some tough feedback every now and again. If we're being truthful – so do we.Dr. Shannon James from Husson University joined me for a discussion about giving good feedback to learners.

While we all know students who may exhibit more confidence that they have the right to based on their actual knowledge and experience, more often as preceptors we have students who demonstrate a lack of confidence that gets in the way of their learning. It is easy to make assumptions about why a student demonstrates a lack of confidence, but often we have missed the mark. By understanding the root cause of waning confidence in a pharmacy learner, we can develop strategies to increase confidence and allow them to optimize their learning.  Dr. Kate Newman, Director of Experiential Education, and Dr. Stephanie Hunziker, Director of Skills and Simulation and a Clinical Assistant Professor are both from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville School of Pharmacy.

Whose job is it to teach risk management principles to pharmacy learners? Sure – they have to take a law course as part of their curricular requirements, but how much does that mean to them until they are in real life situations as part of their IPPEs, APPEs, or residency? As preceptors, it's important that we not only recognize and manage the legal risks of welcoming pharmacy learners within our pharmacy practice but also that we are prepared to teach practical concepts such as risk management in addition to developing their clinical skills.

On episode 2 of "Inside the SCCA" I talk with Heyward Wagner -- he's the Senior Director of Rally, Solo and Experiential Programs for SCCA. From this position, he works with the teams that deploy Track Night in America, the Time Trials National Tour and the National Solo Series and the staff that provides support for the Regional Solo, Track Events, Time Trials, Rally, RallyCross and Hillclimb programs. That's the title but Heyward has been a part of the club for decades. He and I have known each other since we played with cars at Road Atlanta in the 1990's. We talk about "club culture" and the challenges that come with being so many things to so many car crazy people. I also remember Howard "Duck" Allen -- another pillar of the club who has taken his final checkered flag. I share some of my memories about the guy we all knew as "Duck". --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/racingwire/support

Having herself been exposed to personal development Leah Fink is passionate about helping people develop skills in self-awareness and mental health.  She is especially enthusiastic about developing youth on the journey because of the benefit she derived from similar experience, and because it provides an exceptional foundation from which to benefit throughout life.  The programs bring together self-awareness, mental health resiliency, and skills development before the person requires those skills in a stressful, or crisis, life situation.Experiential programs, ideally outside of the “familiar” environment, potentially in the wilderness, very effectively develop strength within people, solidify relationships and provide purpose for living.  Although the COVID-19 restrictions have postponed the ability to meet in person Leah's group workshops maintain the core value of shared experience, in an online form.  They explore values, purpose, communication, conflict resolution, and more, through programs like True Colors® colour typography, and Right Use of Power power dynamics.For the benefit of mental health while managing infections Leah recommends against “social distancing” in favour rather of “physical distancing”.  People require ongoing social interaction for mental health; social distancing is destructive as people must feed their social connectivity for wellbeing.Tune in to hear about The need for proactive skills development, including resilience – don't wait for a big challenge.

Lisa Dadd spent 15 years with a Fortune 100 company, learning the foundations of corporate sales and marketing before redirecting that knowledge as an entrepreneur. An intense training in transformational leadership, and work in social-emotional intelligence gave her a new appreciation for blending seemingly divergent skills. Today, Lisa enjoys playing with those skills as she creates unique experiential programs that develop leaders who are radically self-aware, personally accountable and deeply connected to their visions.

Heyward Wagner joins me to talk about what the Sports Car Club of America is up to, and why. We talk about how the club’s focus is on converting car and driving enthusiasts into participants (I love this!), and they’re all about having fun with cars. Specifically, we dive into SCCA road racing, autocross, Track Night In America, and the new focus on Time Trials. Heyward is the Director of Marketing and Experiential Programs for the SCCA. The son of parents involved in the SCCA, he’s lived and breathed autocross, corner marshaling, rally and rallycross, and club road racing his entire life. But it’s what he learned being a summer camp counselor that has had the biggest impact on how he contributes to the many positive changes the SCCA has seen in the past few years.  Check out: scca.com www.tracknightinamerica.com

Today on The Parc Ferme’s Cambered Corner we have pleasure of welcoming the SCCA’s Director of Marketing and Experiential Programs, Heyward Wagner, to talk about the recent revival of experience-driven events at race tracks around the country and specifically the renewal of the SCCA Time Trials program and the continuation of Track Night in America. Track Night in America is an experiential program started in 2015 as a low-cost way to bring car enthusiasts to race tracks across the United States and experience what it's like to drive at speed on a proper road course. Since it's inception, it has proven wildly popular, drawing from a much larger demographic than those who would typically dive into full-fledged, wheel-to-wheel road racing. Given the success of the Track Night in America program, the Heyward Wagner's SCCA Experiential Programs team has revived the Time Trials program, what was formally known as Solo I. We talk with Heyward about the origins and impetus for both the Track Night in America and the Time Trials programs.

Paul Newman was a fixture in the car racing universe. How did it happen? Winning. Newman saw the script for the 1969 movie about a car racer and his love life and decided to make sure it was elevated from movie-of-the-week status to big budget box office picture.  Winning was about a race car driver who focused on succeeding at Indianapolis at the expense of his marriage. And it kind of sucked. Joining us is Heyward Wagner, Director of Experiential Programs for the Sports Car Club of America. Heyward has first hand knowledge of Newman's impact on the SCCA racing scene and agrees with James and Sid that the movie kind of sucked. How accurate was its portrayal of various forms of racing? What good came from the movie? (Spoiler: Lots of good came from the movie) Can a "great" racing movie be made today? Follow @ReelsandWheels and subscribe on Stitcher and iTunes.
