In this episode of Physician's Guide to Doctoring, Dr. Bradley Block speaks with returning guest Dr. Stephen Bradley who shares insights from his co-authored article addressing how medical institutions emphasize diversity but frequently neglect true inclusion. Drawing from personal experiences including decisions about personal grooming to conform to professional expectations and those of colleagues, Dr. Bradley explores the subtle and overt pressures underrepresented physicians face to fit in.The conversation covers actionable strategies to foster inclusive environments, the "minority tax" in medicine, and how healthcare organizations can support their diverse workforce beyond recruitment. Whether you're a medical student, physician, or healthcare leader, this episode offers thought-provoking perspectives on creating a more inclusive medical community.Three Actionable Takeaways:Move Beyond Metrics: Diversity in numbers isn't enough—institutions must foster environments where underrepresented groups feel valued and authentically included.Understand the "Minority Tax": Recognize and address the added burden placed on minority physicians to mentor, advocate, and represent, often without institutional support.Create Inclusive Policies: Small but meaningful changes, like flexible grooming and dress codes, recognizing diverse holidays, and improving communication, can significantly enhance workplace inclusivity.About Guest:Dr. Steven Bradley is a board-certified anesthesiologist and medical ethicist dedicated to mentorship and enhancing diversity in healthcare. He earned his medical degree from Howard University College of Medicine and completed his anesthesiology residency at the University of Chicago Medical Center. Furthering his expertise, Dr. Bradley pursued a fellowship at the MacLean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics. He serves as an assistant professor of anesthesiology, educating both medical students and residents. Additionally, Dr. Bradley hosts "The Black Doctors Podcast," where he interviews minority professionals across various fields to inspire and motivate listeners. LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenbradleymd/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stevenbradleymd/X: https://x.com/StevenBradleyMDWebsite: https://stevenbradleymd.com About the Host:Dr. Bradley Block is a board-certified otolaryngologist at ENT and Allergy Associates in Garden City, NY.

Host Gregg N. Sofer welcomes back to the podcast Richard Epstein, Laurence A. Tisch Professor of Law at New York University Law School, and Steve Renau, Husch Blackwell's Head of Thought Leadership, to discuss the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision in Securities and Exchange Commission v. Jarkesy. The Court held 6-3 that the Seventh Amendment's guarantee of a jury trial requires the SEC to pursue civil penalties for securities-fraud violations in federal court. No longer can the SEC rely on its own in-house tribunal to secure these penalties. Although Jarkesy applies only to the SEC, the Court's reasoning could have far-reaching implications across a number of federal agencies, particularly when “the ‘public rights' exception to Article III jurisdiction does not apply.”Our discussion highlights the administrative law history that was brought to bear upon the case and how it was that the adjudication of civil penalties came to be matters before non-Article III courts. We then pivot to some of the impacts Jarkesy could have in the future, including whether the Supreme Court will take up related issues of due process in future challenges to federal agency enforcement actions.Finally, we discuss Jarkesy in light of the Supreme Court's Loper Bright decision that ended the doctrine of Chevron deference and the implications of both decisions for administrative agencies and the private businesses they regulate.Gregg N.

As a legal nurse consultant, when you go through medical records, you may see indications that an ethics consult was called or that ethical issues were considered. You may also find yourself struggling with aspects of the decisions made regarding the patient and feel the need of advice from an expert in medical ethics. Camille Renella opens the door to this little-understood aspect of medicine. She begins by pointing out that ethics has lower regard than the law in terms of application simply because legal violations generate so many more repercussions. At an earlier time, doctors and administrative personnel didn't even want to deal with issues like setting up ethics committees in their institutions. Today no formal qualifications exist for sitting on such a committee. In contrast, medical ethicists receive formal, usually post-doctoral, education in their field. They look at those who are working around the patient and consider the standard of care and code of ethics of each group of practitioners and how their application of these values can benefit the patient. The need for a clinical medical ethicist particularly arises in continuation of life issues. This can involve conflicts between family members and clinical staff, issues around advanced directives, and other considerations. Camille raises important ethical and practical issues in this informative podcast. It will broaden your perspective about what is involved in medical decisions. Join me in this episode of Ethical Dilemmas in Healthcare: Insights from a Medical Ethicist with Camille Renella What does a medical ethicist do? What are the requirements for sitting on an ethics committee? How do issues of life support get involved with ethics? How do hospital and medical costs impact ethics decisions?

When does a limb have to be amputated? This is the question Dr. Ross Milner and Dr. Kha Tran — 2 vascular surgeons who operate to restore blood flow in the body — consider. When a patient's arteries have narrowed and improper blood flow emerges, that patient may be diagnosed with peripheral arterial disease. In this episode, you'll hear about different ways to treat this disease, what can be done before a limb amputation has to occur, and why it's so important to understand the lived circumstances of a patient who has peripheral arterial disease.Dr. Ross Milner is a Professor of Surgery and the Director of the Center for Aortic Diseases at UChicago Medicine. He is  an internationally recognized expert in vascular surgery, a dedicated educator and mentor, and a prolific author, having written more than 100 abstracts and manuscripts, as well as more than 20 reviews and chapters in leading textbooks on endovascular therapies. Dr. Kha Tran is a fourth year surgical resident at UChicago Surgery and a fellow of the Maclean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics.

#013 - Join host Dr. Red Hoffman as she interviews Dr. Gretchen Schwarze, a vascular surgeon, medical ethicist and prolific researcher known for her work focused on surgical buy-in and the best case/worst case scenario.  Gretchen is an endowed professor in the Division of Vascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.  She completed a fellowship in medical ethics at the MacLean Center for Medical Ethics.  She is a nationally recognized expert in surgical decision making, informed consent, advance directives and end-of-life care and her research focuses on improving communication between older patients and their surgeons so that patients can avoid unwanted treatment and make decisions that align with their values, preferences and goals.  Gretchen defines the concept of surgical buy-in and explores how this concept manifests differently for various patients and various procedures.  We discuss the ethics surrounding Do Not Resuscitate orders in the OR and the importance of clearly establishing the goals of surgery (prolonging life, improving quality of life, making a diagnosis or preventing a disability) before operating.  Finally, Gretchen explains the Best Case/Worst Case decision aid and notes the importance of both eliciting preferences and making recommendations when using this aid.  I learned so much from speaking with Gretchen; she helped me to articulate many of the ethical dilemmas I struggle with when taking care of many of my surgical patients. Articles mentioned:Surgeons Expect Patients to Buy-In to Postoperative Life Support Preoperatively A Framework to Improve Surgeon Communication in High-Stakes Surgical Decisions: Best Case/Worst Case"Best Case/Worst Case": A Qualitative Evaluation of a Novel Communication Tool for Difficult in-the-Moment Surgical DecisionsRisk Calculators and Decision Aids are Not Enough for Shared Decision MakingTo learn how to do Best Case/Worst Case, watch a ten minute video here.  To learn more about the Maclean Center Fellowship in Medical Ethics, click here.To learn more about the surgical palliative care community, visit us on twitter @surgpallcare

This was a remarkable podcast. Eric and I were blown away by the eloquence of our guests, who were able to speak to this moment in which our country is hurting in so many ways. Today's topic is the impact of COVID19 on minority communities, but we start with a check in about George Floyd's murder and subsequent protests across the country. Our guest Monica Peek, Associate Professor of Medicine and Director of Research at the MacLean Center of Clinical Medical Ethics at the University of Chicago, notes right off the bat: COVID19 and the reaction to Floyd are related. The covid epidemic has created an economic crisis, a heightened level of worry, and a disproportionate number of deaths among the African American community. When we add COVID on top of the long history of police brutality that has been heightened over the last several years that has been ignored by the federal government - in that context, it's not surprising that we're seeing protesters put their lives on the line to stand up for what they believe in. These protesters are putting their lives on the line due to the twin risks of reprisals from police or national guard, as well as the risk of acquiring COVID during a protest. As we turn later to the topic of COVID19 and impact on minority communities, Alicia Fernandez, Professor of Medicine at UCSF and Director of the UCSF Latinx Center of Excellence, notes that so many people reach for a biologic rationale for the excess exposure and mortality among minority communities - it's a genetic factor, it's racial/ethnic differences in ACE receptors, or it's the higher rates of diabetes and kidney disease among minority communities. How is it then that Latinos, and immigrants in particular, who tend to be younger and healthier, have higher mortality rates? What COVID19 is exposing are the underlying disparities in social determinants of health. For example, Africans Americans and Latinos represent a disproportionate share of essential workers, are more likely to live together in multigenerational households, and may reside in areas with less access to testing and high quality hospital care. We turn finally, to what we can do. As Monica says, "This is the fight of our lives. And this may be our last fight." Alicia notes that we need better reporting about detailed race, ethnicity, and language of people impacted by COVID for public health reasons. We talk about the need for professional interpreters for all goals of care conversations with patients (and Yael Shenker and Alicia's must read article for all clinicians on this topic). And we return to Doug White's framework that persons who reside in areas with a high Area of Deprivation Index score get a boost in their chances of obtaining scarce treatments for COVID. Finally, I encourage you all to watch this YouTube video of the song Seriously (song choice for the Podcast), sung by Leslie Odom Junior (Aaron Burr in the original Hamilton), about how Barak Obama might have reacted aloud to the 2016 election. It's speaks to this moment as well. The link is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI8TCA3fJcs -@AlexSmithMD

What are the moral criteria for triaging patients when the healthcare system is overwhelmed? How is Massachusetts thinking about this? And, more broadly, what is the appropriate balance between preserving public health and limiting an economic meltdown?

James Hughes joins Phil and Stephen for a discussion of the meaning of technoprogressivism.

Can we program ourselves to be better people? Phil and Stephen welcome James Hughes to discuss his concept of a Virtues Control Panel: "What I imagine is a virtues control panel with sliders that determine the balance of moral impulses, cognition and behavior in different situations, governed by a morality operating system. When we are working on tasks that require focus and care we would turn up concentration, conscientiousness and prefrontal control. We could also flag specific behaviors, words or even thoughts to be suppressed, and others to be enhanced. When our metabolic monitor indicates we have reached maximum calories for the day or reached peak inebriation, the sub-routines would tell us we can't eat another bite and that we don't want that next drink.
