  On this episode, the fifth installment of our eight-part, issue-specific series, we'll explore how nonprofits can boldly and safely advocate for gender and reproductive justice. We'll review recent policy developments and discuss how nonprofits can respond through legislative, executive, and judicial branch advocacy. Join us as we break down the rules and share recent examples of how nonprofits are advancing gender and reproductive justice.     Attorneys for this episode    Quyen Tu  Brittany Hacker  Melissa Marichal Zayas    Shownotes  Gender and Reproductive Justice Headlines  Executive Branch Actions  Since taking office, President Trump has signed several sweeping executive orders that undermine the rights of transgender people and women and reduce access to reproductive health care.   These include, for example, orders that terminate federal diversity, equity, and inclusion programs; rescind executive orders that expanded access to reproductive health care; ban transgender people from serving in the military; limit coverage for gender-affirming care; and require federal agencies to recognize only two, “not changeable” sexes.  The DOJ has announced that, outside of extraordinary circumstances, it will stop enforcing the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, a law that protects reproductive clinic staff from violence and harassment.   HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has directed the FDA to review its approval of the medication abortion pill Mifepristone.   We've also seen major funding cuts across several agencies. HHS, for example, has terminated NIH grants focused on LGBTQ+ health issues and frozen millions of dollars of Title X funds, which help provide reproductive health services in low-income communities.    Litigation  Many nonprofits, as well as state attorneys general, have filed lawsuits challenging the executive orders that seek to curtail LGBTQ+ rights and DEI initiatives.   In February, for example, a group of several civil rights nonprofits, along with Crowell & Moring LLP, filed a lawsuit on behalf of Chicago Women in Trades to challenge the Trump administration's anti-DEI executive orders. As a result, a federal court has temporarily blocked the Labor Department from requiring Chicago Women in Trades and other federal contracts or grant recipients to certify that they don't operate any programs that violate Federal anti-discrimination laws, which one of these EOs would require.   Many other provisions of these EOs, however, remain in effect as the cases make their way through the courts.   The National Council of Nonprofits has a continuously updated chart tracking executive orders that impact nonprofits and their current legal status. Just Security has an even broader resource that is tracking all legal challenges to Trump administration actions.    Legislation  Congress is currently considering deep cuts to Medicaid. These proposed cuts would lead to an estimated 8 million Americans becoming uninsured, and would eliminate all federal funding to Planned Parenthood, including funding for preventative health screenings and testing. Proposed budget cuts would also further restrict transgender peoples' access to gender-affirming care.   In Missouri, the state legislature recently approved a new ballot referendum that, if passed, would repeal last year's voter-approved constitutional amendment guaranteeing a right to abortion. This ballet referendum will appear on the ballot in November of 2026 or earlier if Missouri's governor calls a special election.     What can 501(c)(3)s do to respond?   As a reminder, 501(c)(3)s cannot support or oppose candidates for elective public office. This means they can't engage in activity that helps or hurts the chances of a candidate winning an election.  But here's what they can do: They can engage in an unlimited amount of non-lobbying advocacy, and they can engage in a limited amount of lobbying.    Non-Lobbying Advocacy   Educate the public about issues of importance to your organization  The Center for Reproductive Rights' tool, Repro Red Flags: Agency Watch, which tracks key Trump administration appointments and actions related to reproductive health.   PFLAG is tracking and reporting on federal and state legislation and litigation impacting the LGBTQ+ community through its weekly Policy Matters Newsletter and Executive Orders Explainers and Resources web page.  The National Women's Law Center has released a report highlighting how the cuts would impact women and LGBTQ+ individuals.  Engage in administrative advocacy  A March letter sent by Equal Rights Advocates and several other civil rights organizations to Acting EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas urges her to immediately withdraw a series of letters and guidance documents pressuring employers to abandon DEI programs.   Hold a rally  In April, the Coalition for Inclusive Schools & Communities, Live in Your Truth, and the Montgomery County Pride Family held a  rally in support of inclusive education outside the U.S. Supreme Court during oral arguments in Mahmoud v. Taylor.  Initiate or participate in litigation  In May, a Michigan state court permanently struck down three of Michigan's abortion restrictions, agreeing with Northland Family Planning Centers and Medical Students for Choice—two nonprofits plaintiffs represented by the Center for Reproductive Rights—that the restrictions violate the state's constitutional amendment.  Fund advocacy  Public and private foundations can fund advocacy through general operating grants or specific project grants.    Lobbying  501(c)(3) public charities can engage in lobbying, but they are limited in how much lobbying they may engage in.  Under the federal tax rules, most public charities can choose between two tests to determine how much lobbying they can engage in: the insubstantial part test or the 501(h) expenditure test.  Under either test, lobbying includes attempts to influence legislation at any level of government. The exact activities that will count as lobbying will depend on which test the organization uses.   When engaging in lobbying, remember to track and report your lobbying on your annual Form 990, stay within your lobbying limits, and use unrestricted funds.   In addition to the tax rules, federal, state, or local level lobbyist registration and reporting requirements may apply when engaging in legislative and executive branch advocacy. These requirements vary by state and city, so make sure to confirm the types of activities and thresholds that trigger reporting in the jurisdictions where you are lobbying.   The IRS considers ballot measure advocacy a form of direct lobbying because the voters act as legislators when they vote to approve or reject a ballot measure, but keep in mind that your organization may also be required to register and report on ballot measure activity under state or local campaign finance laws.  Since 2022, 501(c)(3) public charities have helped to pass ballot measures that establish a right to abortion in eleven states.    Resources  The Advocacy Playbook for Gender and Reproductive Justice  Public Charities Can Lobby (Factsheet)  What is Advocacy? 2.0 (Factsheet)  Administrative Advocacy: Influencing Rules, Regulations, and Executive Orders (Factsheet)  What Nonprofits Needs to Know About Lobbying in Your State    Understanding the Federal Lobbying Disclosure Act (Factsheet)  Investing in Change: A Funder's Guide to Supporting Advocacy

SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show!As we navigate the tumultuous seas of medical education's financial demands, you'll discover the myriad of ways it shapes decisions, lifestyles, and the future of healthcare. Joined by Dr. Love Anani from the Student National Medical Association (SNMA), we're celebrating 60 years of the organization's incredible support for medical students as we dissect the costs from MCAT to residency. Delve into our candid exchange on how the weight of student loans can alter career paths and delay life's milestones, and learn why choosing a specialty isn't just about passion but often a calculation tinged with economic considerations.Imagine a world where your student debt doesn't chain down your aspirations but acts as a springboard to your dreams. You'll see that Dr. Love treats student loans like a utility bill—steady, manageable, and non-crippling. Together with his wife, also a physician, they've crafted a repayment strategy that's ambitious yet grounded. Their aim: to clear their loans without letting them eclipse the joy of their profession or life's pleasures. In an era where the price tag on medical education skyrockets without a corresponding leap in resident salaries, we contemplate the ethical quandaries and barriers this creates. The narrative isn't all grim; our discussions on strategic indulgences, the distinction between good and bad debt, and how even the smallest contributions to organizations like the SNMA can ripple into significant impact, will leave you inspired. Join us as we dissect these issues, and more, offering a lifeline of advice and solidarity to those embarking on the noble journey of a medical career.Medical student's loans statistics- https://images.app.goo.gl/gNk2FSPLJP6JuEit8SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER!WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE!Wanna listen instead? Apple podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7lPD2QG...Have a question for the podcast?Text us at 833-230-2860Send us a message HERE! Twitter: @drniidarkoInstagram: @docsoutsidetheboxEmail: team@drniidarko.comPodcasting Course: www.docswhopodcast.com

We're honored to continue our global tour of medical education today with Professor Katarzyna Taran, MD, PhD, a pioneering interdisciplinary researcher of tumor cell biology, an award winning educator noted for her focus on student engagement, and -- in a first for a Raise the Line guest -- a shooting sports certified coach and referee. As Professor Taran explains to host Michael Carrese, these seemingly disparate professional activities require the same underlying attributes: patience, the ability to overcome barriers, openness and adaptation. She believes those last qualities are especially important for today's medical students to acquire given the accelerated pace of change in healthcare. “They need to be equipped with the ability for critical thinking, to analyze and synthesize, and to search for unconventional solutions.” Professor Taran tries to impart these skills, in addition to the medical and scientific knowledge students must know, through a high level of engagement. “Teaching is relational, so try to be familiar with students' concerns. Talk to them, listen to them and you will become someone they trust.” In this wide-ranging and engaging conversation, Professor Taran also discusses her work as the head of the Laboratory of Isotopic Fractionation in Pathological Processes in Chair of Oncology, the use of neurodidactics in teaching, and the connection between the science of pathology and the future of humans in space. Mentioned in this episode:Medical University of Lodz If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

We like to think of Osmosis from Elsevier as a global community of millions of learners, connected by a desire to serve humanity and an inclination to use a diverse mix of educational resources to help them become excellent healthcare practitioners. On today's episode of Raise the Line, we're going to learn how Osmosis has created an opportunity for hundreds of those students from sixty countries to actually solidify those connections through the Osmosis Health Leadership Initiative (OHLI). Our guide to this effort is Osmosis Community Specialist Alfred Collins, who brings a keen interest in developing tech solutions to power the future of human communication to his work with OHLI.“Technology collapses barriers to communication and to understanding the nuances behind culture, behind global perspectives,” he tells host Lindsey Smith. One example he cites is how OHLI members learn about variations in the way different cultures approach collaboration, an important insight to gain as they head into team-based healthcare environments. OHLI members convene regularly over video sessions to hear from leaders in healthcare and learn about hosting successful on-campus events, among other enriching content.  They also have an opportunity to provide feedback on improving the Osmosis learning platform, and this year they're participating in a “hackathon” aimed at improving the future of healthcare. Tune in to find out more about what the OHLI program offers, how to apply, and how Alfred thinks virtual reality and AI technologies will impact the future of community building. Mentioned in this episode:Osmosis Health Leadership Initiative If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Medical student Christopher Nmai discusses his article, "Leaving medicine is not a failure: It might be the change you always needed." Christopher shares his deeply personal decision to forgo residency and explore non-clinical paths, highlighting the toll that chronic illness and burnout took during his training. He contextualizes his story within a broader trend—rising rates of physician dissatisfaction and exits from clinical practice—citing stress, administrative burdens, and mental health stigma as driving forces. Christopher advocates for systemic reform, increased flexibility, and destigmatizing alternative careers, arguing that true success in medicine includes honoring one's well-being and passions—even if that means stepping off the traditional path.

Episode 186: Exercise PrescriptionsDr. Sandhu and future Dr. Daoud explain the way to prescribe exercise, what are the general guidelines for exercise and how to overcome barriers to exercise. Dr. Arreaza emphasized the importance to screen our patients before exercise and using the term “physical activity” to improve receptivity by patients.  Written by Wessam Daoud, MSIV, Ross University School of Medicine. Edits and comments by Ranbir Sandhu, MD, and Hector Arreaza, MD.  You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Arreaza: I'm Dr. Arreaza, and today, we will talk about a topic that is both simple and powerful: exercise. Previous episodes: 158, 100 (sexercise), 95, We all know exercise is good for us, but how do we prescribe it like we do medications? How can we tailor exercise recommendations to our patients' needs and lifestyles? To help us unpack this, I'm joined today by Dr. Ranbir Sandhu, and Medical Student, Wessam Daoud, who has a passion for preventive medicine. Welcome to the show!Ranbir: Thanks, Dr. Arreaza! We're excited to be here and to discuss something so fundamental to health.Segment 1: Understanding Exercise PrescriptionArreaza: Let's start with the basics. In medicine, we prescribe medications with precise instructions—dosage, frequency, duration. But how do we apply this concept to exercise?Ranbir: Great question! Before we prescribe exercise, we have to make sure that it is not contraindicated. We can use a system to stratify our patients based on risk factors, such as older age, smoking, baseline level of activity, etc. For example, a patient who had a heart attack within the last 6 weeks should not exercise yet, a person with heart failure exacerbation, asthma exacerbation, uncontrolled heart arrhythmia, etc. Wes: Exercise prescription follows a structured approach, similar to medications. We use the FITTE mnemonics to guide recommendations: Frequency – How often?Intensity – How hard should the patient work?Time – How long should each session last?Type – What kind of exercise is best?Enjoyment – Does the patient enjoy this activity?By adjusting these components, we can tailor exercise to each patient's needs, whether it's improving cardiovascular health, managing chronic disease, or building strength.Segment 2: How Much Exercise Do Adults Need?Arreaza: Now, when we talk about exercise, there's a lot of conflicting advice out there. What do the official guidelines say about how much adults should exercise?Ranbir: The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and CDC provide clear guidelines:Aerobic Exercise: At least 150 to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, OR 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise (or a mix of both).Muscle Strengthening: At least two days per week of resistance training targeting major muscle groups.Balance & Flexibility: Particularly important for older adults to reduce fall risk.These guidelines are adaptable, meaning patients can break them into shorter sessions throughout the week.Arreaza: For weight regain, you may need to exercise a little bit more, about 300 minutes/week, and >2 days of resistance activity.Segment 3: Choosing the Right Type of ExerciseArreaza: With so many options—cardio, strength training, yoga—how do you guide patients in choosing the right type of exercise for them?Wes: It depends on the patient's goals, health conditions, and personal preferences. Here's how we might break it down:For cardiovascular health: Activities like brisk walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming.For strength and bone health: Resistance exercises, bodyweight exercises, or weightlifting.Ranbir: For flexibility and balance: Yoga, Pilates, or tai chi, especially for older adults.For chronic disease management: Customized plans—e.g., low-impact options for arthritis or supervised exercise for heart disease.The key is finding something they enjoy, because sustainability is the most important factor.Arreaza: We can use our physical therapy friends to design an appropriate plan for our patients.Segment 4: Overcoming Common Barriers to ExerciseArreaza: I hear this all the time in the clinic—patients want to exercise but struggle to stay consistent. What are the biggest barriers, and how do we help patients overcome those barriers?Wes: Absolutely. Some common barriers include:Lack of time: Patients think they need hours at the gym, but even short bouts of 10 minutes throughout the day add up.Low motivation: Encouraging goal setting and accountability, such as a workout buddy or an activity tracker, helps.Arreaza: Instagram post from Ranbir: Go to the gym even if you don't want to go. Wes: Pain or chronic illness: We can adapt exercises—low-impact options like swimming or chair exercises work well.No access to a gym: Many exercises require no equipment—walking, stair climbing, bodyweight exercises.Ranbir: As physicians, we need to normalize movement as part of daily life rather than an all-or-nothing approach.Segment 5: The Role of Healthcare Providers in Exercise CounselingArreaza: We often focus on medications and procedures, but exercise is one of the best treatments we have. What role should physicians play in promoting physical activity?Ranbir: Our role is critical! Exercise is preventive medicine and can reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and even depression. As physicians, we can:-Ask about exercise levels at routine visits.-Provide specific, personalized exercise prescriptions rather than just saying 'you should exercise more.'-Address patient concerns by modifying recommendations to their abilities.-Follow up and reinforce progress like we would with any other treatment.-Even a brief conversation about physical activity can significantly impact patient motivation and adherence.Arreaza: Exercise vs physical activity. Ask your patients as a routine. Closing Thoughts & Call to ActionArreaza: Ranbir andWessam, this has been a fantastic discussion. Any final thoughts for our listeners?Ranbir: My biggest takeaway is that any movement is better than none. Exercise doesn't have to be perfect—it just has to be consistent. Start small, find an activity you enjoy, and build from there!Arreaza: Any take-home message, Wes?Wes: Same for me, find an activity you enjoy, start where you are, and keep moving!Arreaza: Great advice! If you found this episode helpful, share it with your colleagues and patients. Ranbir: Until next time—stay active and stay healthy!Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.
