Podcasts about primary care progress

     In S5 E14 I am delighted to welcome Pedja Stojicic, MD, MPH to the podcast. Dr  Stojicic is an instructor for the DrPH Program at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health teaching two courses - Enabling Teams and Enabling Large System Change. Pedja is passionate about enabling health leaders to use community organizing practices to advocate for equitable health and well-being. He currently serves as an executive lead for People, Power, Health https://www.peoplepowerhealth.org/ .        In the past, he has worked with the CMS, Center for Public Health Leadership, Primary Care Progress, Way to Wellville, Healthcare Anchor Network, Center for Health Progress, and many others. Previously, Dr. Stojicic has served as president and executive director of Youth of JAZAS, a Serbian NGO fighting HIV/AIDS, and as a consultant for the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Serbia implementing health care financing reform. Dr. Stojicic completed a fellowship at the Harvard Kennedy School studying Leadership and Organizing with Prof. Marshall Ganz and later worked as a member of Ganz's HKS Teaching Team. As a life-long activist, he currently serves on the advisory board of Leading Change Network, one of the largest global networks of social movement leaders.     In this incredible conversation Pedja tells us his own story of self before elaborating on the concept of narrative leadership and the practice and pedagogy  of community organising to enable positive social, environmental and political change. We discuss the story arc of Self, Us and Now ( articulated by Professor Marshall Ganz in his book People. Power, Change)  and why finding voice as clinicians and articulating our own story is a key first step to bringing others with us, building collective agency and taking action.      I learn more about work at People, Power, Health and HEART, an advocacy training program for courageous clinicians.      In challenging and uncertain times it is hard not to be inspired and energised by Dr Stojicic who aptly describes himself as  intellectual pessimist but action optimist. This conversation is an empowering call to individual and collective action. "Empowerment of individuals and communities is absolutely central. Getting the community involved in organising their own destiny has to be a key part of it" Professor Sir Michael MarmotLinks / References / Further Reading:Dr Pedja Stojicichttps://www.linkedin.com/in/pedjastojicic/People, Power, Health https://www.peoplepowerhealth.org/HEART program - advocacy training for courageous clinicianshttps://www.peoplepowerhealth.org/heartPeople, Power, Change Professor Marshall Ganz https://www.hks.harvard.edu/publications/people-power-change-organizing-democratic-renewal  The Mind Full Medic Podcast is proudly sponsored by the MBA NSW-ACT Find out more about their service or donate today at www.mbansw.org.auDisclaimer: The content in this podcast is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

This week, we have two amazing guests, Cheryl Pritlove and Elizabeth Metraux. They are joining us to talk about gender disparities in medicine.

Please read her recent Lancet article The good, the bad, and the ugly of implicit bias that we discuss on the show. Elizabeth Metraux is the founder of the Boston-based start-up, Women Writers in Medicine, with a mission to break glass ceilings using the power of the pen. Formerly at the National Institutes of Health, she worked in the Office of the NIH Director as communications lead for Workforce Diversity.

Elizabeth’s work has appeared in The New England Journal of Medicine, Health Affairs, STAT, Medium, and more. She regularly speaks across the country, hosts the healthcare podcast “Relational Rounds,” and the live storytelling series, “Scrubs, Spirits, and Stories: Tales from the Trenches of Healthcare,” both sponsored by Primary Care Progress.

How can we use tech to make healthcare better and more accessible? Dr. Nwando Olayiwola, a family physician, faculty member at UCSF, and Chief Clinical Transformation Officer for RubiconMD, a leading provider of electronic consultations between primary care and specialty care providers, has spent many years thinking about that question. She joins us this week to tell us about her career in primary care, tech, and leadership. We also discuss her powerful essay, Racism in Medicine: Shifting the Power, and her research looking at various aspects of tech and care delivery. Thank you to the Harvard Center for primary care for helping to facilitate this interview. I did make a few recording snafus on this interview – so my apologies for the sub-optimal audio quality in a few sections.
