The episode delves into the pressures, stigmas, and barriers that prevent trainees from seeking help, combining expert insights with personal narratives. We also hear from Jack's partner and parents, who stress the need for systemic change and de-stigmatization of mental health struggles in medical education.    Description of Series  DWDI Special Series: Suicidality in Medical Training dives into the critical conversations around mental health, well-being, support systems, and the intense pressures faced during medical training. Through the power of storytelling, the series intertwines these broader themes with the deeply personal story of Dr. Jack Ruddell, a promising medical student who tragically died by suicide. Jack's journey—his strengths, struggles, and the complexities leading to his untimely death—forms the emotional core of this five-part series, giving voice to the loved ones often excluded from these conversations. Alongside Jack's story, the series incorporates expert insights and data from the literature, offering a human perspective on burnout, depression, and suicide among medical trainees. With a commitment to improving mental health awareness and reducing the stigma around seeking help, the series presents a novel approach by centering personal narratives alongside expert analysis. It also explores actionable strategies for improving medical training environments and highlights the importance of institutional responses after a loss by suicide. Our mission is to reduce shame, encourage help-seeking among medical students struggling with depression, and ensure that every medical school is aware of the postvention resources offered by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).

In this episode, we talk to Dr Monica Molinaro, who is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Health Sciences Education at McGill University in Canada. Title of paper: You're doing everything you possibly could do, and you know it's not enough”: Family physician narratives of moral distressAvailable: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2023.0193The moral distress of physicians who cannot provide adequate care due to systemic deficits is seldom heard in contemporary discussions about health care access and quality. Family physician stories of moral distress in relation to structural and systemic factors such as racism, colonialism, and drug, mental health, and housing policy, generate seemingly novel and vital understandings of the clinical work of primary care providers. The study findings are some of the first to illustrate family physicians' experiences of moral distress, contributing to the limited body of literature on moral distress in primary care.

Educating someone to be a nurse, physician or allied health professional is obviously a complex process for learners, faculty and administrators. Today, our new Raise the Line co-host (and Osmosis COO) Derek Apanovitch takes a look at tools that help all of those stakeholders visualize the overall curriculum, where a student is on their learning path, and how they are performing. Our guide is Andrew Dos-Santos a veteran of healthcare and higher education IT who has launched the edtech company Fenix Alma Solutions to apply the insights he's gained in his long career. “Over the last twenty years working so closely with faculty and staff it became clear that disconnected, disparate systems weren't the answer, and this is the landscape most institutions are still working within.” Fenix Alma, and its curriculum management platform VidaNovaVLE, provides the ability to see both the big picture and a granular view to ensure that educators and learners can target where performance improvements should be made. As a unified platform, it also gives administrators the ability to connect the data needed to answer critical questions about what is being taught at what level, what is being assessed, and how are learners doing. “We are trying to breathe new life into this health sciences education technology space.” Tune in to learn about customizing content for students, integrating with external content providers such as Osmosis, and how AI might benefit health sciences education. Mentioned in this episode: https://fenixalma.com/

In this episode our guest interviewer, Dr. Neera Jain, Senior Lecturer at the Centre for Medical and Health Sciences Education at The University of Auckland interviews Dr. Emily Green, a PGY 3 psychiatry resident at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.   Drs. Jain and Green first met many moons ago as part of the AAMC lived experience project research study, which included interviews with trainees at all levels. At that time, Dr. Green was a medical student. In this episode, Dr. Green discusses how she navigates medicine as a black woman with a disability, how she uses her disability in powerful ways to connect with her patients, and why talking about disability is an important step in reducing stigma.  Transcript https://bit.ly/DWD_Podcast_67_Part1 Emily Green, MD, MA Dr. Emily Green is a current 3rd year resident at the University of Wisconsin in their General Psychiatry program. She received her Masters in Clinical Psychology from Wheaton college in 2010 and was a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Illinois and worked in several not-for-profit organizations helping people with chronic mental health challenges until her transition to medical school in 2016. During her time in medical school she created the student group MSAE (Medical students for accessible education) which is a student-run support and advocacy group for medical students with disabilities. She is interested in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, specifically in helping students with disabilities gain easier access to 504 plans, IEPS, and accommodations throughout their schooling.    Tags: Dyslexia, ADHD, Residency, Psychiatry, Child Psychiatry, Advocacy, NBME, BIPOC, Black, Medical Education, DocsWithDisabilities disabled docs, disability, disclosure.

Erik is also the author of several books including his 2020 publication Independent Thinking on Teaching in Higher Education. You will find a link to his author page and other information on reflection and OneHE on our website for episode 66 if you would like to learn more about Erik's work. Thank you for reflecting with us today as you listen to our conversation on this episode of the Think UDL podcast.

How do we best negotiate working in a multidisciplinary team? Generalisations regarding surgeons and anaesthetists only ever work generally, the specifics of each practitioner and their priorities inevitably contrast. How do we keep sight of these broad differences without falling foul of stereotypes? The conversation evolves; how does the surgical journey fully utilise the team based perioperative approach? With specific focus on geriatric care there is further discussion regarding shared decision making, something which has been part of that discipline for many years. The debate regarding when a patient becomes geriatric is explored. Is it age which defines that or do symptoms and comorbidities qualify the term? Recorded on the first day of the Royal College of Anaesthetists' annual conference at The British Museum. Desiree Chappell and Monty Mythen interview their guests Professor Jenifer Weller, Head of the Centre for Medical and Health Sciences Education, University of Auckland and Dr Jugdeep Dhesi, Clinical Lead, POPS and Consultant Geriatrician, Guys and St Thomas' NHS Trust.

A new exhibit, "Opening Doors: Contemporary African American Academic Surgeons," was on view at the Domenici Center for Health Sciences Education through March 29, 2011. The exhibit, which chronicles the careers of trailblazing African American surgeons, is also serving as a backdrop to an important discussion about race and medicine and social determinants in health. "Opening Doors" was developed and produced by the National Library of Medicine and the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History and Culture, and it was brought to New Mexico by the UNM Health Sciences Library and Informatics Center.
