TRANSCRIPT  Disclosures for this podcast are listed on the podcast page.   Pat Loehrer:  Welcome to Oncology, Etc., an ASCO Education Podcast. I'm Pat Loehrer, Director of Global Oncology and Health Equity at Indiana University.  Dave Johnson: And I'm Dave Johnson, a Medical Oncologist at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas. If you're a regular listener to our podcast, welcome back. If you're new to Oncology, Etc., the purpose of the podcast is to introduce our listeners to interesting and inspirational people and topics in and outside the world of oncology. Pat Loehrer: Imagine knowing in your heart what you wanted to be in life. It usually takes people decades to figure that out, but our next guest knew at age three that she wanted to be a doctor and, later in high school, to be an oncologist. She's achieved much in her lifetime and has incorporated the "pay it forward" by mentoring many others. Dave Johnson: Our guest today is Dr. Edith Mitchell. I first met Edith over 40 years ago when we were both starting out our careers as junior faculty. She grew up in rural Tennessee, and as Pat mentioned, remarkably, she chose a career in oncology at a very early age in high school, despite the fact that oncology was barely a specialty at that time and the lack of role models, particularly role models of color, and women in particular. She received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry with distinction from Tennessee State University and a medical degree from the Medical College of Virginia and Richmond.   In 1973, while still attending medical school, Edith joined the Air Force, receiving a commission through the Health Profession Scholarship Program, and eventually rose to the rank of Brigadier General. She completed a residency in internal medicine at Meharry Medical College in Nashville and a fellowship at Medical Oncology at Georgetown University. Her research interests are broad and involve new drug evaluation, development of new therapeutic regimens, combined modality therapy strategies, patient selection criteria, and supportive care for patients with gastrointestinal malignancies.  She is the leader of the GI oncology program at Jefferson Medical College, Director of the Center to Eliminate Cancer Disparities, and Enterprise Vice President for Cancer Disparities at Jefferson's Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center. She's held a number of leadership positions, including those in ASCO, and she's a former president of the National Medical Association. I could go on forever. So, Edith, welcome, and thanks for joining us on Oncology, Etc.  Dr. Edith Mitchell: And thank you so much for the invitation, Dave and Pat, it is a pleasure.  Dave Johnson: You grew up on a farm, as I recall, in Tennessee. Perhaps you could tell us a little about your early life.  Dr. Edith Mitchell: I grew up on a farm that my great grandfather's mother received about 1863 when the Emancipation Proclamation was made. I was the fifth child in my family. My parents were working, my older siblings were in school, so my great-grandparents were my babysitters, so I spent a lot of time with them. He was 89 at the time, became ill, and I overheard family members and neighbors say that they couldn't take him to the hospital because Blacks were not treated properly in the hospital, so they were going to take care of him at home. A physician made a house call. When he left, I told my great-grandfather, “Pa, when I grow up, I'll be a doctor just like Dr. Logan and I'll make sure you get good health care.”  So, at three years, I decided I would become a doctor and I would make sure that Blacks received good health care. My work in disparity started when I was three. So, after my sophomore year in high school, there was a National Science Foundation program in Memphis at LeMoyne-Owen College. So, I applied and was accepted. And part of the time in Memphis that year, we were given opportunities to go to St. Jude. So my time at St. Jude made the decision that I would become an oncologist. I became really fascinated by cancers and in pathology, use of the microscope, and how cancers were all different, how they varied from the normal tissue for areas such as the colon or the stomach or the pancreas. Dave Johnson: It's amazing that that early in your life you made that kind of decision.  Can I back up just one moment? I want to ask you briefly about the doctor that visited your great-grandfather, Dr. Logan.  Dr. Edith Mitchell: Dr. Logan was a family physician, African American, and he had a great interest in Blacks being healthy. In fact, when the polio vaccine was made public, Blacks could only go one day per week because you couldn't go the times when whites were there. Dr. Logan obtained the vaccine and he would line the children up at his office. He gave me my first polio vaccine. He was a very handsome man. And, you know, Dave, I found out later that the medical school that he attended in Memphis was one of the ones closed as a result of the 1910 Flexner Report. So he had to go to Meharry in Nashville and take other courses to maintain his license to practice medicine.  Pat Loehrer: Were you the first one to go into medicine? Tell me about that background and how your family influenced you personally.  Dr. Edith Mitchell: Neither of my parents finished 8th grade, but they were very smart. They pushed their seven children to do well. They provided educational materials in our home and encouraged us to work and to take advantage of opportunities. Dave Johnson: Let's move forward a little bit. I thought I knew a lot about you, Edith, but I didn't realize that you were a Brigadier General. What was the motivation for joining the service in the ‘70s when you were at med school? Was it scholarship funding, or was there just patriotic zeal or a little of both? Dr. Edith Mitchell: My main objective was, for financial reasons - a scholarship covering all expenses of medical school, plus a monthly stipend. When I was in medical school, one of my laboratory instructors told me about this new scholarship program, and I said, "Okay, I just want to graduate from medical school." So he says, "Well, I know people in the surgeon general's office. I'll have them send you the information." He did, and I looked at it and didn't remember David, that my husband filled out the application. After my neurosciences final exam, I came home, and he says, "Your commission came in the mail today." So I said, "Okay." He says, "Well, I can swear you in. We can't do it at home because you have to have a witness. You take a nap, and then we're going out to job control, which was where all the aircraft controlled, the control room." We went there. We've got a picture of the swearing-in, and we then went to the officers club. It was Friday, and there were lots of people in his group from the Air Force Academy, from Citadel, Virginia Tech, and others. And they were all talking. "Yeah, Edith got a mail-order commission.”  So I owed the Air Force two years, and I practiced at Andrews Air Force Base, which was the presidential squadron. You hear the president always leaving Andrews Air Force Base. So I think I was 29 maybe, but I was young, and here I was taking care of senators and other important people in government, and these are people I'd only seen on TV before. So I had a really good experience. I received many accolades, but also many letters from people for whom I cared for. And I was therefore invited to stay on in the Air Force, either go to Walter Reed or to San Antonio. I said, "No, I'm going to Georgetown." So one of the VIPs, if I mentioned his name, you would know, said and wrote a letter for me that the Air Force should give me whatever I wanted and whatever I needed to continue in the Air Force. So I received my Air Force pay while I was a fellow at Georgetown.  So I stayed on. I got promoted early and engaged in Air Force work. I loved it, and I did well in that atmosphere and stayed on. After my second child was born, I decided I could not continue active duty and take care of two kids. So I left the Air Force, went to the University of Missouri, and someone called me one day and said, "You know, I hear you are at the University of Missouri now. Would you consider joining the National Guard?" I went, “ Joining the National Guard? Why would the National Guard want an oncologist?” And the information was, the Air National Guard wants good doctors, and you've got a great record. They invited me to St. Louis to just see the National Guard squadron there. I filled out the application while I was there and in a few days was appointed to the National Guard.  So after being there for a few years, I was discussing with one of the higher-ranking people in the National Guard who was in Washington, but visiting St. Louis. He said to me, "You know, you've done great work." He had gone through my record, and he said, "And you know, you're one of the people being considered to be in a group for promotion. Promotion at that time meant that it was a higher rank." So he said, "There's one thing you don't have in your records, however, and other competitors in your group have." I said, "What's that?" “You haven't been to flight school.” I said, "Okay." He said, "And everybody who is going to be competing with you will have gone to flight school, and having a flight record will be an important part."  So I was in my 40s. My oldest child was 14. I went to flight school and I got my certification, and obviously, I got promoted. And I am the first woman doctor to become a General in the history of the Air Force. And it was really interesting. I'm a Brigadier General. I'm invited to give a talk someplace, and there were lots of people there. So the person introducing me said, "And she is the first African American woman to become a General in the history of the United States Air Force." So I get up to speak and I thank him for this introduction. And I said, "Yes, I was the first Black woman physician to become a General. I said, but, you know, my ancestry says that I'm 30% something white. So I guess I was the first white woman, too." There was a big roar. But I loved every opportunity, and I worked hard at every opportunity.  So when I was in the active duty Air Force, I was chief of the cancer center at Travis Air Force Base. So I made my application for research with the Northern California Oncology group, got, they said, one of the highest ratings of the applicants at that time. And I received a phone call from Air Force administration saying “Congratulations, but the Air Force cannot accept this funding from the National Cancer Institute.” There is a law saying you can't transfer money from one area of the government to the other, as they called it, a "gift," but it was a grant. So I call Phil Schein and I tell him about the situation. And he already knew that I had received a top report, and he knew that I had the grant before I knew. So he says, "Well, let's see what we can do.”  Now, remember, Vince DeVita was the NCI Chair at that time and Dr. Rosenberg. At every ASCO meeting Phil, Vince, and Dr. Rosenberg would get together and they would bring their fellows. And Bill said, “Let me see what I can do.'" So somebody at NCI made some things happen. And I got this call from Saul Rosenberg. "Edith, congratulations." So I said, "Well, thank you, but I didn't expect a phone call from you." And he says, "Well, there have been some changes. Your grant, the face sheet has been changed." I said, "Oh.”  Pat Loehrer: Your husband again. Dr. Edith Mitchell: I can't say who or what, but it had Stanford on it. So my grant went to Stanford. I'm sure they appreciated the kick you get. But Dr. Rosenberg said, "Your grant is now Stanford. We're setting up an account for you at Stanford, and the funding goes to Stanford.” So I had people working for me at the Air Force Cancer Center who were Stanford employees. Dave Johnson: Edith, there are still too few African American and particularly African American men in medicine. What's your perspective on that?  Dr. Edith Mitchell: I think that many people are not given opportunities, and I've been concerned about Blacks and other racial and ethnic minorities not entering medicine, and particularly regarding oncology. So fewer than 5% of all practicing physicians in this country identify as Black. Little more than 5% identify as Hispanic. And I've been trying to do something about that. So ECOG-ACRIN has been very good about allowing me, and I set up with others, but I was the lead, a program for individuals - they could either be medical students, residents, fellows, or early faculty - to attend ECOG-ACRIN. And as a result of that program, we identified 12 individuals for each of the two ECOG-ACRIN annual meetings. We bring people in, and that has been a success. There's one person I introduced when she was a resident, she then did a fellowship in oncology, and it is now in her first year as faculty. And we have students mainly from Tennessee State. I do maintain very close relationships with Tennessee State, and I have the first Tennessee State student who has just been admitted to medical school at Jefferson. So trying to work with them.  As a result of my work with the National Medical Association and the International Myeloma Foundation, we have a group of medical students that have been mentored for oncology. Whether they will become oncologists, I don't know, but they all 12 are doing well in medical school, and with some anticipation they might select oncology as their area of specialty. We set them up with an individual mentor, various oncologists around the country, and they have conducted research with their mentor.  So I'm doing things that I think will be helpful to individuals. And I think we're not giving Blacks enough opportunities. Even in entering medical school, the number of Blacks entering most majority medical schools is still very low. Somewhere nine or ten students per year, Blacks entering medical schools. And also there has been a study conducted by the ACGME, which is the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, looking at graduate studies in oncology. Do you know that most of the oncologists have been trained at a few medical schools? And there are, I think it was 109 programs did not have a single minority student in the fellowship program. And that's terrible. I think that all fellowship programs should have some racial or ethnic fellows in their programs. Dave Johnson: Yeah. One of the disturbing statistics that I've read from the AAMC is that the number of African American men applying to medical school in 2023 and 2022 is actually less than the number that applied in the ‘70s. It's puzzling to me why we've not been able to attract young men into the medical profession, and perhaps it's because there's a sense of not being wanted or encouraged into the profession. More African American women are applying, but even that number is small, at least in terms of the increase in what we've seen. Pat Loehrer: Edith. You're also the Associate Director of Diversity Affairs at the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center. What does the recent Supreme Court decision against Harvard in terms of admissions policy, how are you viewing that now at Jefferson? Dr. Edith Mitchell: So I think that the Supreme Court decision certainly was disappointing, but it is what it is, and we've got to deal with it. That is the Supreme Court. So my suggestion and what I am telling students that they have to do, you do have the essay. So when I applied to medical school, I did not talk about Dr. Logan, my growing up on the farm, or my parents not finishing 8th grade. But if I were applying to medical school now, I would use all of that background to include in my essay. And the Supreme Court didn't say that you couldn't include that information in your essay. It said the schools could not use your racial background as a part of the equation, but your letter is still there, and therefore, I would include all of that in the essay, so that you do have an advantage. We've just got to be able to do what we've got to do, not put the university or the medical school at risk because of the Supreme Court decision. But there's nothing in that decision that says you can't include that information in your letter. Dave Johnson: I have one question. What career advice would you offer your younger self? If you could speak to your 30-year-old self based on your knowledge, experience, what career advice would you give yourself? Dr. Edith Mitchell: So the one thing that I did not do when I was about 30 years old and I'm not sure I even knew about it, I think I could have done more in health policy, and the one thing that I have not done is become a White House fellow. And that's usually early in your career plan. But I think my research would have suffered had I done that. And I still say I don't know that I made bad choices. Dave Johnson: No, you didn't make bad choices. Knowing you, you could have been a White House fellow and done everything else you did. Pat Loehrer: And your husband did not make a bad choice either. Dave Johnson: Evidently not. Pat Loehrer: Edith, thank you so much for joining us. You've had such an incredible life, and it's so rich, and we deeply appreciate your spending time with us.  I want to also thank all our listeners of Oncology, Etc, which is an ASCO Education Podcast.

Key Points of Harry Potter and Percy JacksonWhy did Harry Potter become huge while Percy Jackson's cult followingWhat was lost in translation in adaptation to both?Which story elements work in both and which work in only one.Massive spoilers ahead for both series but looking forward to the Podcast.Rebranding of the podcast spent all day yesterday changing all socials and RSS feeds has been quite the process.Listening back to what I have been talking about and realized I just love storytelling so I wanted this to be more about storytelling in all forms.Books, video games, and moviesSince I have been making fun of these characters on my Instagram @the_story_they_tell I figure what better episode to kick off the series than Harry Potter Vs Percy Jackson.Bias I love Percy Jackson more than Harry Potter. Percy Jackson and The Sea of Monsters is what really got me into reading and while I have read all the HP books I will sayHarry as a protagonist really never spoke to me as a character.Percy very much so is a character who is in over his head and knows it and uses humor to cope with being in a world that is out to literally kill him and that always spoke to meHarry while also in over his head just felt blander and a character who you were supposed to insert yourself into.I think both have validity as storytelling mechanics but I'm a protagonist guy if your pro is kinda lame it hinders the series. But before we move on what is The Story They Tell.The Story They TellHarry Potter is about a boy who discovers he has magical abilities and it tracks his time going to school and growing up with a prophecy.Percy Jackson is about a boy who discovers he has magical powers and tracks his time growing up and going to a camp where he discovers he has magical abilities. I would say structurally Percy Jackson on the service borrows quite a bit in structure to Harry Potter.Even the first three books follow a structure that is similar where one adventure is with side character one and the other with side character two.The big difference between the two worlds is danger levels.Percy Jackson's world is constantly threatening PJ. Every book in PJ Has scenes where he is hanging out and having a good time when suddenly a monster. HP world slowly builds to that being the case and the series ends and HP is mostly safe.There is danger in Harry's world but it oddly feels mostly constrained to the School and more of an active choice for Harry.Because of this, the reaction of the world is a lot different.When Percy learns things he gets upset and snarky cause his world is not fair,Harry for the most part figures things out with wonder and joy. There are so many scenes where Harry is amazed at some magic thing where Percy would almost make fun of it or just be like neat.

This is not a substitute for medical care and is not intended for use in the diagnosis or treatment of individual conditions. Guests on this podcast express their own opinions, experience, and conclusions. The mention of any product, service, organization, activity, or therapy should not be construed as an ASCO endorsement. NARJUST DUMA: Welcome, everybody, to the second episode of ASCO's Social Determinants of Health series. My name is Dr. Narjust Duma. I am an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin and also a thoracic oncologist. Today I'm joined by ASCO's CEO, Dr. Cliff Hudis, and Sybil Green, Director of Strategic Initiatives in the policy and advocacy department for ASCO. This series is a new initiative proposed by ASCO president, Dr. Lori Pierce. It focuses on increasing oncologists' awareness about the social determinants of health through the cancer care and how impacts our patients' outcome, including modifiable risk factors. This series is inspired by Dr. Pierce's presidential team of equity, every day, every patient, everywhere. In this episode, we look at what ASCO is doing as a professional society to improve health equity and cancer care. Welcome, Dr. Hudis. Welcome, Mrs. Green. First I would like to us what is ASCO doing as an organization in the matter of health equity and cancer care? CLIFF HUDIS: So I guess I'll start here. Thank you very much for spending some time with us on this. If you look at ASCO's mission, it is conquering cancer through research, education, and the promotion of the highest quality and equitable cancer care. So the idea of equity and our responsibility to address disparities is really in our organizational DNA. I have to point out something that many people may not realize. But when ASCO was founded in 1964, one of the seven founders was a black woman, Jane C. Wright. Dr. Wright died in February of 2013. But her father was among the first African-American graduates of the Harvard Medical School. His father was also a physician. And he was educated at what became Meharry. So I remind everybody of this as often as I can, to make the point that not only do we have an opportunity to advance equity and to deal with disparities in health care, but it's my perspective as a leader of ASCO that we have a special obligation and responsibility to do all of that. So we can talk more about it. But I'll just introduce maybe the answer by saying there are really two broad themes at work for us at ASCO. One is externally facing. And one is internally facing. The externally-facing work includes a range of projects and output that we can talk about a little more, but for example our position papers describing disparities and then identifying potential steps to take to address and solve them. But it also includes support for targeted research that is meant to narrow those gaps. It includes our educational efforts, both for our members and for legislators, advocacy for policy, and so on. And then on the internal side-- and here I'll ask Sybil to talk a little bit-- I think we've recently recognized our opportunity, and again responsibility, to think about the workplace itself and to think about our staff and to think about the activities and actions we can take and the roles we can model to create a better world. So I know I've been high level in my initial answer here. But the two domains again are external and internal. And then we can talk about some of the specific projects as we go on. NARJUST DUMA: Mrs. Green, I think it's very important to share about these internal aspects of ASCO because many of us are now aware as members, we see the surface. But ASCO is a large organization with many staff and members. So it would be great that you can share that with us. SYBIL GREEN: Absolutely. And thank you for allowing us to share that. I think Dr. Hudis pointed out some of what we've done since ASCO's establishments and really charging everyone on staff to really live out that obligation of equity, diversity, and inclusion. And so through our programs, our staff have to do their work, make sure that we are creating equitable opportunities for patients and physicians, but it starts at home. And so we have to make sure that internally, we are offering those same opportunities for our staff to engage because what we know is that when staff are engaged, and they have the opportunity to bring their true selves to work every day, they bring their personalities. They bring their lived experiences. And that all plays out in the work that we're doing on behalf of members, in their patients, but also for staff. I think if I were sum up where our program is going, similar to what Dr. Hudis has done, the three components are really enabling staff success. We ought to be able to do that for our staff internally. Every day we ought to provide opportunities for them to succeed. And then making sure that our partnerships-- those that we work with, whether it's in our publications, our meetings-- making sure that our partners goals and ideals align with ASCO's values and ideals. And all of this, of course, is in support of the greater ASCO enterprise, which is our members and the patients and of course, ASCO staff. NARJUST DUMA: And I think that it's really important-- I had the pleasure of interacting with several staff members with diverse backgrounds. And I think as we develop the mentorship program and other things, their input is diverse. It means we also are able to cover the trainees needs because every trainee's needs are different. And because I cannot give a talk or do a podcast without mentioning my grandma, [INAUDIBLE], I have to say that it's important to clean your house first before you go and try to clean other people's houses. I do promise it's beautiful in a Spanish. But I think it's important that everybody knows that internally ASCO is doing a lot of work. And I think it's important to talk about the grants in health equity. And I'm mentioning this because I haven't been doing health equity since I was a med student. And sometimes you find yourself not having enough grant opportunities. Now there is an increase. But when you compare it to other areas of oncology, you may be more competitive because there are less grants. And I think it would be great to hear from the both of you about the new health equity grants, the breast cancer disparity grant, and beyond. CLIFF HUDIS: Well I would just point out something to build on your comment, first of all. Since we were founded in 1964 til now-- so just over 55 years-- we've made unbelievable advances, I think, in oncology in general. Indeed the reason I as an old man chose to go into an oncology in the 1970s was that the vision ahead was that this was going to be an exciting field. And it has not disappointed. However there's a dark that I think we should acknowledge. The advances have not been fairly or evenly distributed. And indeed in some cases when we make massive improvements in outcomes in terms of what's possible with state-of-the-art care, we increase disparities because not every group catches up. And I say all that because it's important to understand that this is not about abstraction. These grants that address that gap are as or more important than the basic science grants that actually advance the biology and understanding in the first place. One without the other is incomplete. So I can't agree more that this is important. And actually from an investment or return on investment point of view, in some ways, these grants are an even better deal because we can rest many of these gaps in care delivery and in knowledge pretty quickly and narrow the gap. And we've seen it. I'm going to give you some examples in a moment. Whereas funding basic science, honestly, is a much higher risk proposition, if you think about it. So I don't mean to set up a false competition here. But I want to point out that there's a big reward. So here's an example. The plenary session abstract at ASCO two years ago now-- abstract number one, if you recall, was no moral less than an analysis of the impact of Medicaid expansion. And what did it show? It showed that with Medicaid expansion, those states that implemented it quickly narrowed the gap in time to initiation of therapy for curable colon cancer. It's a simple take-home point. I care passionately about this personally because these are differences in outcome that have been labeled as associated with race for many years or other specific ethnic facts. But really what they're about is nothing except unfair, uneven access to care in the first place on the basis of race. And it's something that we can address. So we are building out programs to address this through a number of granting mechanisms. For 2020 alone, there are going to be two Young investigator awards that are earmarked for underrepresented populations. And there's a career development award and another YIA, Young Investigator Award, in health disparities specifically. But this is just, I think, part of the issue. The other issue for us-- and actually a commitment going back for years-- is to do something about the workforce itself. And I don't have to tell you, but of course, there is a huge disparity playing out when we look at makeup of medical students in America. And it gets accentuated to the extreme when we look at black men. They are the most disproportionately underrepresented group right now. So how are we going to address that? And we're really proud this year to be launching a program that is aimed at newly-matriculating medical students building on a successful program in Boston that's been running for a couple of years already with Bob Mayer is the founder. And our goal is to the interest of specifically targeted populations, not just in medicine but specifically in oncology. NARJUST DUMA: Mrs. Green, you would like to add something about the grant and what is happening to support health disparities various research at ASCO? SYBIL GREEN: I'll just add the importance of any grant opportunity in any program being one to two. So it's one thing to be able to address bringing in the right medical students to be able to mirror the populations that they serve. It's something else to continue to support them along the way, and so not just stopping at the students, not just stopping at the research, but also making sure that was they're in practice they're supported. And a couple of grants that we've had for some time focus on quality, not just in ensuring that quality services are delivered, but actually helping practices to determine how to identify gaps in [INAUDIBLE] populations that are underserved because we may not be able to identify those same gaps that we would identify in majority populations. And so by giving them the tools to some of the other programs that ASCO has to be able to identify those gaps and then to support them along the way is really important. NARJUST DUMA: And I want to add to what Dr. Hudis mentioned about workforce diversity because this is one of my areas of research and passion. And it's extremely important to have a diverse workforce to represent the patients we're caring for. It's not only having a diverse workforce, but having a workforce that practices cultural humility. We cannot assume that we are proficient or we are competent in somebody's culture. I'm a Latina. And there are so many Latinos in so many different backgrounds that I cannot learn them all. And I think it's important that early interventions are-- because when you get exposed to a specialty early on during the training, that would change your pathway. I'm the daughter of two surgeons. I'm supposed to be a plastic surgeon. But a patient with cancer changed my life and my pathway. So we're able to support those students that have less resources and less access-- and that also includes rural students-- they may don't be black or Latino, they may be white, but they come from rural areas with limited resources-- we are sure that we meet the patient needs because there are aspects I don't understand. Like I'm in Wisconsin, and there are some aspects to farming I didn't know. Now I know when harvest is. And all of that allows us to plan appropriately. So I can see how important it is. And there's a task force that is run by Dr. Winfield, which I'm lucky to be part, that focuses on the workforce diversity. Along those lines, as a minority in medicine, I have seen up and downs of the interest in workforce diversity and health equity. I think many events in 2020 helped a lot of people open their eyes or be more conscious like, oh, that's not isolated. That happens in my back yard. It happened in Kenosha, Wisconsin. But we want to hear how is ASCO making these things long term, how the internal and external changes are going to be long term? And I will start with Mrs. Green and then go to Dr. Hudis. SYBIL GREEN: So in terms of making it long term, it can't be one and done. I think quite often when we focus on equity and diversity issues, we always look at diversity first. And so whether it's workforce or whether it's increasing opportunities for access, you can't just look at the numbers. You have to also think a little bit deeper. You have to think about culture. And so culture with humility, like you mentioned, Dr. Duma, is important, but making sure that attitudes are changing along the way. And that happens through self-awareness. That happens through understanding. And I think that ASCO plays a real role in making sure that our members understand what the issues are and how to dig past those things and provide them with the tools to be able to [INAUDIBLE]. ASCO I think, is not unique. And the idea that this is all new to us has gotten a lot of attention because of some of the social and racial injustice. But what that means is that our members now are probably more interested in ensuring equity than ever before. But we have to teach them how to do it. We have to teach them how to speak the language. We have to teach them how to be more aware, both in their own organizations, at ASCO internally, and for their patients. And so it's a cultural change. It's not going to happen overnight. It's gradual understanding of the dynamics, gradual understanding of different peoples goals, and meeting them where they are, so that we can help them to move along, so that we can come to a more equitable and just [INAUDIBLE]. CLIFF HUDIS: I think one of the things Sybil and I spoke about this summer is we launched our internal EDI effort-- relates to this. And that is this is not about identifying a leaky pipe and patching it and saying, well, we're done now. This is actually, in my view, a permanent change in the way we see work and the way we see our growth. So the goal is to reach a specific landmark. The goal is to change how we think about our work and how we think about our role in the world, so that we're constantly improving. And it's a journey, not a destination, I think, which sounds trite. But that's the spirit of it. And it gets to your question about how we make sure that the commitment is continuous and not just while it's [INAUDIBLE] and exciting. And I think we are committed and dedicated to that. I do want to present a related challenge because it's something you said really sparked this thought for me. As a physician, when did you know that you wanted to be a physician? How old were you? NARJUST DUMA: I was 5. CLIFF HUDIS: And, Sybil, when did you know what your career path was going to be? SYBIL GREEN: I was 9. CLIFF HUDIS: That doesn't support my thesis [LAUGHS] [INAUDIBLE]. So here's the issue. The issue of burnout in medicine right now is getting a lot of attention. And one of the reasons for it, frequently given, is that doctors on average decide to commit to their careers a decade younger than most people on average commit to other careers. You're an exception, Sybil, so I should have pretested the question. But the issue is we're not here to talk about burnout today, even though that's really important. The issue is this. In order to ultimately address the makeup of the population of physicians, we need to reach deeper and further into precollege communities. And we need to show people that they could have lives in science and health care and in medicine and maybe specifically oncology. And I'm just pointing out to you that that's a daunting challenge for a professional society like ASCO. That's not our audience. We don't have a natural connection there. And one of the things that we're working on right now is identifying programs that have worked, that exposed high school students from previously excluded populations or communities to medicine, so that we can spark that passion before college, not during college, and therefore have the commitment that it takes to go far into medicine. And I'll just close by saying something that you hinted at but needs to be said. The reason to have diversity in our workforce is not that an Asian patient needs an Asian doctor. It's that an Asian patient needs a practice that has Asian doctors in it, so that the practice as a whole is able to be culturally sensitive and able to relate and communicate and support them because I think sometimes this issue gets oversimplified as well. SYBIL GREEN: So Dr. Hudis, your theory is not completely [INAUDIBLE] I think it's relevant to this conversation because while I knew what I wanted to do at 9, what I didn't have was the representatives in the community. I didn't have the mentor. Interestingly enough, I had more mentors in pharmacy than I had in law because I saw pharmacists who looked like me. I happened to live in a town where there was a historically black college with [INAUDIBLE]. And so I saw people look like me. And it made it a lot easier for me to reach out to them, for them to mentor me, for them to start talking to me about what equity in health care looked like. That really wasn't until I was in college. But the truth of the matter is for most diverse students, most minority students, that doesn't exist. And I think that that's where ASCO's mentoring programs are really rich. You have the opportunity to do that. NARJUST DUMA: And I think this is important because you can do what you can see. And that has been proven over and over again. We unfortunately are running out of time. But I want to ask the final question. Like a manuscript, like a study, everything has limitations. And I think it's important that we talk about the limitations of ASCO doing this work because realistic expectations are helpful so we don't get disappointed when we have big expectations that may not be met. So Dr. Hudis, what are some of the limitations of ASCO to help equity work now? CLIFF HUDIS: You're right, it's a huge issue. If you think about where our scientific focus is, we can measure the disparities or the difference in outcomes. And we can write a paper about that but when you really get to addressing the reasons for it, it extends far beyond what we can do. So I guess our limit is we can call attention and rally colleagues and collaborate across the House of Medicine and broadly into Congress, where we can make a difference-- or to the United Nations and World Health Organization. But we can't do this heavy lift alone. We need other colleagues who agree who are willing to invest time and money to make the change. SYBIL GREEN: And I would add partnerships because as much as we're talking about social determinants of health, we recognize that all social determinants of health are not health related. They're not [INAUDIBLE]. And many of them live and operate outside of the realm of health care. But what we can do is bring our expertise to the table about the impact of those things, so that our partners stand in their own world, in education, in criminal justice, in financial assistance, how that can help really change the outcomes for patients. I think at ASCO, we've got that expertise. And we can do that. NARJUST DUMA: Thank both of you for your time.

On the third of this new four-part podcast series, we discuss some solutions that can help operators work through the outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus global pandemic. Guests on this episode include the following: Nicole Noack, head of the Independent Aircraft Modifier Alliance (IAMA) Val Miftakhov, founder and CEO, ZeroAvia Harvey Meharry, Chief Pilot, Flight Department Manager, Southern Multifoods Inc. At 2:04, Noack describes how the outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has impacted aircraft modifications and how her organization is helping airlines update paperwork associated with maintaining the airworthiness of their airplanes while they’re grounded. IAMA has established a virtual think tank to keep its aircraft modification companies connected to airlines remotely. At 22:22, Miftakhov provides some perspective on how the COVID-19 travel restrictions have impacted its ability to research and develop aa hydrogen-powered electric powertrain as an alternative to both conventional aircraft engines and battery-based electric motors. And what you’ll learn from this discussion is how the coronavirus has impacted companies that are developing innovative future facing technologies, as well as how the use of the technology ZeroAvia is developing could potentially lower the cost of operating an aircraft in the future. At 38:09, Meharry provides the perspective of a Hawker Beechcraft 400A pilot and corporate flight department manager whose operations have been grounded by the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, and how he and other pilots are still flying and maintaining their currency under the new social distancing and work-from-home policies implemented in Texas, where Southern Multifoods Inc. operates from.

Delta Dental is comprised of a network of companies to help you connect to your dental insurance and improve your oral health. To improve the overall wellness of the people in the communities we serve through our products, advocacy, education, and philanthropy. • Our Mission is “Ensuring healthy smiles” – the “e” is intentional as our mission is not just about the products we sell, it's also a reflection of our focus on service and the communities we serve. • A smile can impact the whole health of a person—from being able to chew and eat nutritious food, to being able to speak, to the mental state and self-esteem. At Delta Dental, we believe everyone deserves a healthy smile and our work is a reflection of this belief. • Our advocacy work has helped to expand the Tennessee Dental Safety Net from simply reimbursing clinics for pulling teeth to relieve pain to include supplemental funding for dentures and partials to help restore the smiles for the working poor. • The clinics we support in Middle TN – Interfaith Dental Clinic and Neighborhood Health – are bringing smiles back to our neighbors. • Children's hospitals across the state, including Monroe Carell Jr Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt, are equipped to meet the oral health needs of the patients on those campuses—a child needing radiation or chemo cannot go to the dentist but they also cannot start that needed treatment if there is any infection in the body, including the mouth. • Tennessee's two dental schools, including Meharry, have simulation labs and other spaces we have helped fund to help ensure they are best prepared to treat patients. • We believe an educated society will be a healthy society. Our corporate philanthropy includes programs like Governor's Books from Birth Foundation and Tennessee Performing Arts Center, both with programs to help enrich the education of our youth so they may grow to a healthy adulthood.

  Ken Mitchell is a physician's assistant (PA) with a special expertise in Men's Health.  In this interview Ken and I talk about his progression from PA school, through his early practice in primary care, his transition to Men's Health and into our practice, and his current position at the Meharry Medical College where he is charged with establishing a Physician's Assistant school at Meharry. During my eighteen years of medical practice I have learned that a medical career is often a progression through several phases. A doctor (or any medical professional) may start with a learned skill set, but then must adapt over time as medicine changes. Ken's story is an example of how we can, as practitioners thrive in a changing medical environment by recognizing what our patients need and building programs to fill that need. In a very unique way Ken did that within our practice by developing our SIMS program for men having their prostates removed for prostate cancer, educating men and their families prior to the surgery and caring for them afterwards. I think you will enjoy my conversation with Ken Mitchell. Ken has great insight into building programs and building a career, in medicine or any other profession. If you see a need, and you can fill that need, do it. Start small and build over time. Give a program or your people a little love and room to grow. Sit back and watch what happens.  You can find old episodes of this podcast or contact me at whyurologypodcast.com.

  "Nearly half of all black doctors practicing in the U.S. today are graduates of Meharry." Join The Gist of Freedom as we discuss the history of Meharry College with historian, genealogist Chris Mitchell a daughter of a Meharry graduate!  Meharry Medical College, founded in 1876 in Nashville, Tennessee, is the 2nd oldest medical school for African Americans in the nation. The college was established by the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Freedman's Aid Society in 1876 when Samuel Meharry, a Scots-Irish immigrant salt trader who had been helped by a former enslaved family, gave a $15,000 donation in their honor. The Church and the Society used the donation to establish a program to provide medical training for former slaves.  Meharry had its first graduate in 1877 and the following year there were three graduates. In 1886 the Dental Department was founded followed in 1889 by the Pharmacy Department. In 1915 the Medical Department received a state charger and Meharry became an independent institution. Hubbard Hospital, named after George W. Hubbard, one of the first faculty members, was built in 1917.  In 1952 Dr. Harold D. West became the school's first African American president. Under his leadership the campus expanded and another wing was added to Hubbard Hospital. Today Meharry Medical College consists of the School of Medicine, the School of Dentistry, the School of Graduate Studies and Research, the School of Allied Health Professions, the George Russell Towers of Hubbard Hospital, two health care centers, and the Harold D. West Basic Sciences Center.
