ChenMed is a family-owned, physician-run organization that was created to better serve low-moderate income elderly patients. Starting in 1985, Dr. James Chen created ChenMed as a one-stop shop where physicians are held accountable for their patients, and now ChenMed operates over 100 senior health centers across the US. The full-risk, capitation model of ChenMed aligns economic incentives where preventative value based care is the foundational framework.  However, what really allows ChenMed to transform care delivery in the U.S. is how they honor the sacred nature of the physician-patient relationship. The ChenMed model for primary care exemplifies the power of the provider-patient relationship and realigns physicians with their altruistic calling.  In doing so, clinicians are able to address the moral determinants of health that lead to improved health equity and social justice in our society. Joining us this week is Dr. Faisel Syed, the National Director of Primary Care at ChenMed. Dr. Syed believes a physician-led culture can improve primary care influence and lead to a new era of transformation in the United States.  He is on a mission to restore the intimate and sacred nature of the doctor-patient relationship and, in doing so, create care models that can replicate at scale.  In this episode, Dr. Syed discusses how ChenMed honors seniors with affordable, VIP care that delivers better health. He shares how this moral consensus has an enormous impact on patients and the health of communities.  A physician-led culture in primary care, coupled with trusting relationships, can truly change the world!

In this interview we get to learn what a Bedfordshire IAG advisor does. I speak with Helen McHugh, an experienced IAG advisor. During the interview, Helen mentions the Children in Need project and Study Programme. The Children in Need project is a 9 session course called “Like It, Live It”. It is funded by Children in Need but is run by Develop. The course helps young people develop their confidence, team working skills and mental wellbeing. Study Programme is a full-time education programme run by Develop where young learners can study towards maths and English qualifications as well as qualifications such as Childcare, ITQ, Introduction to Beauty and Employability. Develop EBP is a company which provides learning courses for a range of ages, but predominately ages 16 - 19. Develop currently has training centres in Bedford, Dunstable, Hitchin and Norwich. (Probably should have covered this in the interview)Techie stuff: This interview was recorded using just a Zoom H4N handy recorder. No external microphones were used; only the Zoom’s internal mic was used. The Zoom was rested on a little chunk of foam beside myself and Helen. We were both sitting around 50cm from the Zoom’s mic. No headphones were used by either myself or Helen to listen to ourselves as we recorded.The advice I read about podcasting says that you should ideally have a microphone for each person involved in the interview, and experts suggest that it is good to use a dynamic cardioid microphone as this will just pick up what a person says and minimise background (ambient) noise.How distracting was the traffic noise for you?The interview took place in a small room beside a busy road. The windows were not double glazed and you hear spells of background noise from the road outside.Despite the problems, as an amateur I was actually quite pleased with the recording, in that afterwards, I could basically hear what was being said and that I had pressed the right buttons on the Zoom during the interview. I also liked just how quick it was to set up the Zoom and do nothing fancy. The introduction to the episode was recorded using a Blue Yeti USB microphone on its cardioid pattern. This section seemed to sound OKish before uploading but when I listen to it on the website I feel that it sounds a little different and not as clear, for some reason.From the interview-skills side of this piece I noticed that my questions were long and quite rambling. In post-production I cut out lots of sections and you may well notice some of the ham-fisted bits. I also actually had to cut out about a whole minute at the start when I went on a nerve-ridden ramble about getting Helen’s surname (McHugh) mixed up with the surname of Bruce Willis’ character (McClane) in the Die Hard films. Classy stuff.I edited the project in Audacity (free audio editing software) – moving some clips and music around, cutting out a few long pauses, adding fade-ins and fade-outs and finally exported the project as a wav file. I then put this wav file through a piece of free software called The Levelator which is recommended by some experts as a way to adjust the audio levels in the podcast. Finally, I converted this updated wav file to be an mp3 file so that it was ready to be uploaded and published. Without the Levelator the interview section of recording sounds very quiet. The downside to using the Levelator is that the traffic noise now sounds louder. The lesson here is to never use this room again with the Zoom recorder and also to experiment with individual cardioid dynamic microphones. Well... it's a start. The experiment continues..... Thank you for your patience.Background music - Love Chances by Makaih Beats from the Free Music Archive. This music is licenced under Attribution-Non Commercial Licence.

In Episode 3 of the DIAL Podcast, Professor Florencia Torche from Stanford University talks about the impact of acute stress on a child's outcomes even if the stress occurs before they are born. Florencia is a keynote speaker at the DIAL Mid-Term Conference 2019.

Infant mortality rates, defined as the death of a baby before his or her first birthday, have declined 15 percent between 2004 and 2015. Even so, mortality of African-American babies remains at least twice that of white babies, and progress in reducing these rates overall has stalled. Join us at the City Club for a conversation with Dr. David L. Olds on the intersection of health and poverty and how we can improve outcomes. rn

The globalization and education special interest group of the comparative and international education society will be hosting a public webinar on December 12 entitled “Puncturing the Paradigm: Education Policy in a New Global Era.” The webinar will bring together the four co-editors of the newly published Handbook of Global Education Policy, Karen Mundy, Andy Green, Bob Lingard, and Toni Verger. During the lead up to that event, FreshEd will interview the co-editors to set the stage for the webinar. Today I speak with Professor Andy Green about the global education policy of social cohesion. Although we often think of education policy as primarily concerned with economic development, it also has been historically connected to the idea of creating a cohesive group of people who share certain norms and customs. Benedict Anderson called this “imagined communities.” Andy Green has looked at the effect from education on social cohesion across the globe. Andy Green is Professor of Comparative Social Science and Director of the Center on Learning and Life Chances at the Institute of Education, University College London. He will participate in the webinar on global education policy on December 12. Check out Freshedpodcast.com/webinar for more details about the event.

This is the second of two videos featuring Greg Duncan, distinguished professor of education at UC Irvine. He talks about the forces that have translated growing gaps in family incomes into growing gaps in educational outcomes — and what we can do about them.

Frank Field’s entire career has been concerned with improving the lives of those worst off in society, initially as Director of the Child Poverty Action Group, and for the last thirty years as MP for Birkenhead. The new Coalition Government has now asked him to lead an independent review on poverty and life chances. The Review will look at how we measure poverty in Britain today - whether low income alone constitutes poverty, and if not what are the other aspects of poverty, and how they are measured - what the key determinants of good life chances are - taking account of the importance of a child's development before attending school and how good influences at this stage of a child's life can best be embedded in society.
