While most people are focused on vaccines, face masks and lockdowns, some doctors are trying to get people to focus on, or at least consider, early ambulatory treatment for COVID-19. This means care that is initiated right when a person is diagnosed or starts to show symptoms, while he/she is still at home or self-isolating, and well before a person has to go to the hospital. These doctors believe early ambulatory treatment would significantly reduce hospitalizations and deaths.In this podcast, Dr. Erin Stair chats with Dr. Peter McCullough, an internist, cardiologist and epidemiologist who authored a paper on this topic that included a protocol for early treatment. The protocol lists specific drugs to use and when to use them. Dr. McCullough discusses the rationale behind this protocol, what other countries are doing for early ambulatory treatment ( things that the US is not doing), and why the media is not addressing early ambulatory care since he believes it could save many lives.Dr. McCullough is the Vice Chief of Internal Medicine at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, Tx and a consulting cardiologist. He is a Principal Faculty in internal medicine for the Texas A&M University Health Sciences, has over 1000 publications and over 500 citations in the National Library of Medicine.

In each educational encounter, the culture of the individual, instructor, group, institution and the patient scenario all play a role. In this podcast, Amar Patel reconnects with Janice Palaganas, PhD, RN, NP, ANEF, FNAP, FAAN, FSSH, who completed a study on cultural considerations in debriefing with Drs. Kim Leighton and Albert Chan and shares some of their initial findings. She is Chief Executive Officer of The Institute for Interprofessional Innovations, Associate Director of Healthcare Professions Education at the MGH Institute of Health Professions in Boston, where they have launched the first PhD in Health Professions Education with a focus on Simulation and another in Interprofessional Education.

Today I have an amazing guest. His name is Dr. Jeff Karp and he is a Professor of Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. He is also a Principal Faculty member at the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, and an affiliate faculty member at the Broad Institute and at the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology. I'm just getting warmed up, wait until you hear the rest of his background. This is a real special guy. He works in the fields of drug delivery, medical devices, stem cell therapeutics, and tissue adhesives. He has published over 125 peer-reviewed papers, with more than 18,500 citations, and has given over 300 invited lectures. He has over 100 issued or pending national and international patents. Several technologies developed in his lab have led to multiple products currently being funded, and he's launched seven companies that have raised over $300 million in funding. These technologies include high-tech skincare, tissue adhesives and 3D-printed biomedical devices, immunomodulation with biologically responsive materials. We talked about small molecule regenerative therapeutics with an initial target of hearing loss and other aging therapies; as well as stem cells, cannabinoid therapeutics, biomedical devices to improve child safety, needles that automatically stop when they reach their target, and a bio-engineered luminal coating for controlled GI targeting. Dr. Karp has received over 50 awards and honors. He has been recognized by Boston Magazine as One of 11 Boston Doctors Making Medical Breakthroughs'; The Boston Business Journal as a Champion in Healthcare Innovation' and by MIT's Technology Review Magazine (TR35) as being one of the Top Innovators In The World - with three members from his laboratory also receiving this award. I spent a lot of time talking to Jeff about how he builds his teams and how he empowers them to take on these projects. What he's done is - he's bridged academia and entrepreneurship and, that's no small feat! I was interested to know - with the co-founding of six companies, how does he get research out into the world to really impact lives? We also talked about mentor development. One of the biggest things that he targets is finding - and building mentors. He is always actively meeting people and he talks about this and why the power of meeting new people every 2 weeks. Another thing we talk about is reducing problems to their essence'. What I love is when I hear scientists talk about how they really place a lot of focus on this radical simplicity' and the art and discipline of reducing problems to their essence so they can solve problems in the useful, practical solutions to real-world problems. This is a really, really fun interview with a world-impact leader in medicine. And bringing cutting edge therapies to market with a team. A team of people really dedicated to changing the world. So, with this, I want to welcome you to my great conversation with Dr. Jeff Karp. Here are some Key Concepts from the Podcast: Simplicity - Why is it so powerful? Complexity vs. Simplicity – The approach you use affects the entire spectrum of a problem or a project beginning with how the problem is defined - and can alter or otherwise impact innovation. Radical Simplicity – the art and discipline of cutting through the complexity and reducing a problem to its essence so you can solve it quickly and it can be practical in the real world. Environment & Culture – How do you create productive impact for elements of culture - within and beyond your team?   Focus on Empowerment - Create an environment where you really appreciate what others are doing, and try not to limit them, but give them the ability to own their projects and empower them, that way people are more likely to go ‘all in’. Alter your instincts and control knee-jerk reactions. Create habits that are not ego-driven but are self-imposed and controlled to serve the purpose that you define for your life. Choose the environment. Create a community where people are all on the same page, are all helping each other and inspiring each other to take risks in a very safe environment. Remove limitations. Have multiple affiliations with different institutions that can provide access to resources, tools and different technologies. Finding and Developing Mentors - Inspire and be inspired. Create simple, meaningful mantras that drive the mission in everything you do. They can help you make decisions of how to spend your time, and how to engage the process to really think through the best way of making decisions, such as Maximize Impact. Inspire and be inspired. Develop a passion about finding a mentor. Look for someone whose hindsight becomes your foresight. Academics to Entrepreneurship – How do you translate academic discoveries into entrepreneurship and develop new companies and quickly turn that into products for patients? Develop and Cultivate Relationships – Commit to meeting someone new every two weeks and continue to cultivate those relationships.

Aaron Frank, principal faculty member at Singularity University, has an extensive background in life science and communication, with a specialization in augmented and virtual reality (VR). He researches and reports on trends affecting business. Singularity University is a global community that uses expanding technologies to take on some of the planet's greatest challenges. Through its extensive platform comprised of learning and innovation resources, Singularity intends to empower people to meet problems head-on and find solutions via a network of experts in AI, robotics, and digital biology.  Frank recounts several stories of businesses that have seen incredible expansion due to virtual world technology, such as a billion-dollar real estate business that has completely adopted virtual activity, which allows for all their employees to gather online, from wherever they are in the world. But the environments are larger and more detailed than most would ever imagine, with interactive campuses that allow users to take on all sorts of activities in the virtual world. In business, and in play, Frank discusses how the technology has broken through to higher levels and provides users with vivid, intense experiences virtually.  He gives an insightful look at the virtual worlds being designed today that allow users to experience big events, such as concerts and festivals, and even political debates, as an avatar, which enables them to interact and communicate with other avatars. And Frank outlines some of the newest technology being introduced by global giants such as Facebook and others. He provides an overview of Facebook's new Venues product, which utilizes 360 VR cameras to capture events. Facebook's entry into the VR space will allow users to enjoy live events such as major concerts, and sports, and attend premieres of big movies, all over the globe, and experience them with their friends from anywhere. And while VR technology is fifteen or more years old, the latest components that allow for real, multiple users shared experiences are only in their nascent stages. The technology expert details some of the other opportunities for VR environments, such as security and protection. Frank explains how we can expect the future of location and perimeter security to be 100% virtual, in that security personnel will no longer be doing foot patrols in actual space but will be walking a virtual space instead. As virtual worlds merge with the real world, the stuff of science fiction novels and movies will become our actual reality.  Frank states that by design, Singularity University focuses only on the positive ways that technology can be utilized, but he acknowledges that negative applications of technology are certainly within the realm of possibility. Frank delves into some of the current concerns that many people have with technology advances such as privacy issues and a general fear of a surveillance state. And he points out that while VR is incredibly interesting and has many positive applications, VR environments offer little privacy in that everything that is done, looked at, etc. is entirely trackable. However, as Frank states, blockchain technology, which is essentially a list of records called blocks that are linked using cryptography, may deliver some additional privacy and anonymity that will allay users' anxiety. Ultimately, however, as networks expand and technology explodes, VR and augmented reality will become a regular part of our daily experience in business, and also for pleasure. And tech companies are racing to provide networks that have the processing power to keep up with innovative design as it advances at breathtaking rates.

Leaders face an onslaught of new challenges that demand increasingly innovative solutions. Yet their approaches to finding them often get stuck in either blue-sky brainstorming or bottom-line decision making. Instead, leaders need a path that blends these two approaches -- a middle road that engages not only the minds of their teams, but also their hearts. To address these challenges, Lisa Kay Solomon co-authored the book, Moments of Impact: How to Design Strategic Conversations that Accelerate Change.

Her writing has been featured in BusinessWeek, the Wall Street Journal, and Forbes. In this interview, we talk about: Why we need to bring the human side -- our hearts and minds -- to strategic conversations How designing strategic conversations is an important leadership skill How strategic conversations differ from brainstorming and decision making Why strategic conversations are about more than getting the right answer Why these kinds of conversations are about the future of our organizations, of challenging the status quo, and of multiple perspectives, whether that involves new products and services, entry into new geographic regions, new business models, or new ways of staffing How strategic conversations can help us build understanding and help us see what success looks like The power of staying in the exploration space, staying expansive in our thinking Why these conversations are about mindsets, emotions, new ways of thinking, and new possibilities versus logic, right over wrong, or defending particular points of view Why strategic conversations require leaders to develop greater self-awareness and an understanding of their biases Why strategy is emotional How our education and schooling tees us up to think of strategic planning as all about the correct, numeric answer The important role design thinking, empathy, and supposed soft skills play in strategic conversations Why designing strategic conversations is a craft, not a crapshoot The importance of engaging multiple perspectives rather than just identifying participants -- paying attention to diverse ages, people outside the organization, visualizations, etc Why we should prepare participants before bringing them together, so that we set them up for success How background readings, information on who else will be in the room, meeting goals, etc, can help participants do their best work Why we want to design backwards when bringing people together for strategic conversations The importance of asking what participants will be thinking or saying to friends before, during, and after strategic planning meetings Why framing the issue of the strategic conversation is so important and so challenging How framing the issue is like providing the picture on the puzzle box because it is about setting the parameters How we can reframe discussions of market competitors by asking who is delivering value in new ways to our customers Why a school considering adding a high school asked should we do it versus can we do it Why leaders need to get comfortable bringing emotion into the room How setting the agenda is about making it an experience, getting people invested, and engaging emotionally, rather than just about getting things done Why we should value discussing our fears, what we care about, and what makes us nervous about the issues we are discussing Addressing the yeah but of long-term vs short-term thinking and planning Being able to speak to the reality of organizational politics and turf wars Having empathy for knowing how to engage with one another in these ways -- with visualizations, storytelling, conversations, and new ways of thinking Recognizing that strategic thinking can be learned and that it is a set of skills we are not taught and that probably did n...

Debriefing is a social event – wisdom from Walter Eppich   Case Ellen felt anxious walking into the debrief room. The ED team had just finished an in situ simulation where the focus was on rapid sequence intubation (RSI) in head injury, and using the new intubation checklist. This was the third sim session in a series the department had agreed to run following 3 patient cases where significant desaturation occurred during intubation attempts. Ellen thought they’d done OK but had recognized a lot of the usual ‘bad habits’ that frankly irked her when she worked on the floor with these guys – no nasal prong O2, a pretty vague conversation about who was going to actually do the tube, and low level grumbles about the time it takes to do the checklist. She was particularly disappointed that those things had come up in the last sim, and that a couple of the nurses had participated in that previous sim. “How can we actually get this into their heads?” she thought. Entering the debrief room, Ellen knew what she wanted to bring up, but felt her stress level rising. Reactions first, she thought, and then facts. What would be a good advocacy inquiry question? What else did they say in that debriefing course…..? …….Should she let the learners dictate the topics? And she knew that the ED consultant who was in the scenario was not a big fan of sim, and anticipated he might be difficult. His performance is probably off limits for today, she thought. Deep breath. “OK guys that was great. Well done”……..   In this episode of Simulcast we were delighted to talk with Walter Eppich (@LearnThruTalk). Walter is a paediatric emergency physician from Chicago, and Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Medical Education, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. He is Principal Faculty, Harvard Center for Medical Simulation (@MedSimulation), and a PhD Candidate, School of Health Professions Education, Maastricht University, Netherlands. He has published prolifically in the area of simulation debriefing. Walter shared some general thoughts on debriefing, including ‘’letting go’’ of the idea that we must have a strong hand on the debrief, the importance of translating lessons to real practice, and the idea that participants also need to take responsibility for the process and success of the debrief. This last concept is embodied in his article with Adam Cheng (@DocChenger) on Learner Centered Debriefing, this month’s Simulcast Journal Club article. He made the point that many of our options/ models for debriefing are more similar than they are different, as illustrated in his own blended approach, described in his PEARLs paper. Walter then gave us a practical step by step guide to how he would approach Ellen’s debriefing case, and included additional thoughts on previewing topics, ensuring psychologic safety (see also landmark work by Amy Edmonson here), and using a strategy like the Center for Medical Simulation ‘Basic Assumption’ to maintain that positive regard for learners. He emphasized that debriefing is a social event, and one of a number of examples of learning conversations that are his passion. This is especially relevant as more simulation educators engage in debriefing after in situ scenarios, where there is an existing relationship between participants and debriefers. Walter is also part of an exciting new simulation debriefing project with Adam Cheng and others – follow @Debrief2Learn for updates on the launch of website of same name We’ll be hearing more from Walter on those learning conversations soon, but in the meantime enjoy his practical wisdom on the podcast.
