Podcasts about public health program

Dean's Chat hosts, Dr. Jensen and Richey, welcome Dr. Tiffany Hughes to Dean's Chat!   Dr. Tiffany Hughes is Assistant Professor in the Master of Public Health Program at Midwestern. She holds a Ph.D. in Aging Studies, M.P.H. in Epidemiology, and M.B.A. in Healthcare Administration. She completed post-doctoral training at the University of Pittsburgh in geriatric psychiatry.  Her area of expertise is public health and aging with a focus on dementia and falls prevention.  She is also interested in geriatric education and providing experiential opportunities to get students interested in working with the aging population.  She became involved with the Walk with a Doc program and the Ohio Older Adult Falls Prevention Coalition while faculty at Youngstown State University. She is now a member of the Arizona Falls Prevention Coalition and their partner in the Walk with a Doc initiative with Midwestern University.  Listen as we discuss the topics that interested her as a young student and how this impacted her career. From dementia to fall risk, to prevention techniques and strategies to maintain mobility and independence we discuss how all these important topics are covered in multi-disciplinary ways. The Walk with a Doc program helps foster relationships for patients and hopes to “inspire communities through movement and conversation! With an aim to make health and happiness accessible to everyone, walk with a dock offers free walking programs in communities around the world led by local doctors, healthcare providers, or medical students. These ongoing events allow participants to safely walk, parentheses or role parentheses, learn about current health, topics, and meet new people.” Tune in as we discuss the Midwestern University first “Walk with a Doc” Event on the Glendale campus hosted by Dean's Chat co-host Dr. Richey! The event was a success with community, student, and faculty engagement on the topic of Fall Risk Reduction. We started the event with a welcome chat about the importance of activity/movement and its impact on fall risk reduction. In podiatry, our goal is focus on pain reduction and improvement of function specifically as it relates to the foot and ankle and lower extremity, so that our patients can maintain an active healthy lifestyle with the highest quality of life and maintain their independence. Falls are a significant problem in America. It is estimated that every second an older adult falls; One quarter of adults over 65 will hall at home and half won't tell their healthcare provider.  This leads to roughly 36 million falls, which account for ~8 million injuries contributing to 3 million Emergency Room visits and roughly 950,000 hospitalizations. What is truly alarming is that of these 950,000 hospitalizations, around 32,000 patients will die. While these are scary statistics, we focused our event on the empowerment that FALLS ARE PREVENTABLE!  There has been a lot of research around falls and fall risk prevention. We focused our discussion on the CDC's STEADI approach to fall risk reduction which includes “screening, assessing and intervening.” The STEADI approach has been clinically shown to reduce fall risk by 20%.  We distributed information to the participants about this method and discussed 3 key questions as we walked through campus. “Have you fallen in the past year?” “Do you feel unsteady when standing or walking?” “Do you worry about falling?” This helped spark conversation amongst the participants including our student “future doctors” about the importance of asking these 3 simple questions to normalize the discussion about fall risk. We hope you enjoy! https://walkwithadoc.org/ https://www.midwestern.edu/academics/degrees-programs/college-graduate-studies/master-arts-biomedical-sciences www.apma.org www.stepintopodiatry.com www.explorepodmed.org

In a 2015 ruling, the Supreme Court of Canada unanimously voted that the prohibition on assisted death in the Criminal Code was unconstitutional. This led to Parliament passing Bill C-14 in 2016, amending the Criminal Code to allow legal exemptions for MAiD. Since its passage, MAiD usage has increased every year, with a total of 10,064 MAID provisions in 2021 alone, accounting for 3.3% of all deaths in Canada. Public polling suggests that the majority of Canadians support MAiD, but their opinions about the service are nuanced and complex. There continues to be stigma, taboo, logistical and procedural challenges, as well as ethical and equity concerns about the practice. In debates about MAiD, very little attention has been paid to the rural parts of the country. There is of course no singular, agreed-upon definition of rural, but the concept often includes a combination of geography, culture, population size or density, and qualitative experience. Given that rurality is a significant and often overlooked determinant of health, it is arguably important to examine the distinct conditions for MAiD in rural settings. For instance, there are concerns that in rural settings where health services often are limited, residents might feel compelled to use MAiD as a default option. Some scholars have suggested that MAiD may be seen as a good solution for rural and remote patients who want to die at home. Others have called for caution to ensure that geographically isolated individuals are not placed in a position where MAiD will be seen as their only source of respite from end-stage disease. The speaker will elaborate on her research. Speaker: Dr. Julia Brassolotto Julia is an Associate Professor in the Public Health Program at the University of Lethbridge Faculty of Health Sciences. She recently held a 7-year Alberta Innovates Health Solutions (AIHS) Research Chair in Rural Health and Well-being. Julia's research program looks at aging and dying (as they pertain to continuing care settings, age-friendly communities, and MAiD). She completed her doctorate and post-doctoral fellowship at York University in the Health Policy & Equity program. By training, Julia is an interdisciplinary social scientist and a qualitative health services researcher.

Today's generation feels maligned by the press and often ignored by politics. Priced out of home ownership, dealing with the growing impact of climate change, and criticized for not appreciating that life is hard and always has been—life doesn't seem fair for young people in Canada. But my guest this episode is bringing evidence, passion and a clarity of perspective to reveal the real ways in which life truly is harder for today's younger generation.  How hard work just isn't paying off the way it did for previous generations—particularly for those who count themselves in the baby boom generation.Through the Generation Squeeze think and change tank, Dr. Paul Kershaw is shedding light on the concrete ways that our fiscal realities are skewed against younger Canadians. We discuss the disparities between the perceptions of seniors and the challenges faced by young people today. We dive into the topics that exemplify these gaps in experiences and lived opportunities between generations.Intergenerational solidarity is a central theme of Generation Squeeze, and Dr. Kershaw highlights the organization's success in fostering cross-generational understanding of these critical issues. We explore the importance of involving seniors in creating a more thoughtful approach to policy and financial structures.About our guest:Dr. Paul Kershaw is an award-winning professor at the University of BC, public speaker, regular media contributor and Founder of Generation Squeeze. Gen Squeeze is Canada's leading voice on generational fairness. His work has directly influenced many policy areas, including $10/day childcare, the National Housing Strategy, pollution pricing, taxation of housing wealth, and commitments to generational fairness.

Tune in to hear all that University of California Irvine program in public health has to offer and learn about the future UCI School of Population and Public Health. [Show Summary] The Master in Public Health (MPH) degree experienced enormous growth since the COVID lockdown. One of the leading and largest programs in public health is offered by UC Irvine, and we are talking to the director of that program today, Dr. Bernadette Boden-Albala. Interview with Dr. Bernadette Boden-Albala, Director of the UCI Program in Public Health and Founding Dean of the future UCI School of Population and Public Health. [Show Notes] Welcome to the 517th episode of Admissions Straight Talk. Thanks for joining me. The challenge at the heart of graduate admissions is showing that you both fit in at your target schools and are a standout in the applicant pool. Accepted's free download, Fitting In and Standing Out: The Paradox at the Heart of Admissions, will show you how to do both. Master this paradox, and you are well on your way to acceptance. Our guest today is Dr. Bernadette Boden-Albala, director of the UCI Program in Public Health and founding Dean of the future UCI School of Population and Public Health. Dean Boden-Albala, prior to moving to UC Irvine in 2019, served as social epidemiologist at Columbia University and then as professor and senior Associate Dean at NYU. She earned her MPH and her doctorate in Public Health from Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health.  Dr. Boden-Albala, welcome to Admissions Straight Talk. [1:45] Thank you so much. I'm really excited to be here. Can you give us, just for starters, an overview of UCI's MPH program focusing on its more distinctive elements? [1:52] Sure. So first of all, our MPH degree program was established, oh, almost over a decade ago. 2010.  It was accredited, which is critically important, by the Council on Education for Public Health, CEPH,  in 2012. And it was really the first professional degree of the UCI public health program, and a big component, again, of this envisioned UCI School of Population and Public Health. And I should say that even before we had an MPH program, we have a very large, one of the largest and most diverse undergraduate programs in public health. And so even though the program started about 12 years ago, we have a wonderful public health faculty that has really been doing public health for a longer time than that. And really the aim of the program is to create public health practitioners who really work independently and collaboratively to develop and implement strategies that are really going to reduce the burden of disease and disability globally, locally and globally. And I would say a real distinction is our focus on community and partnering with community. And I think we have some of the best, if not the best, community-based or community-engaged researchers. And Orange County, which is one of the largest counties in the country, is a very diverse county, and a lot of our faculty are working with all different populations in the county. And so that really is, I think, a huge distinctive feature. And when you're working in partnership with communities, automatically your focus is going to be on health equity. And we were doing health equity long before a lot of people were even talking or thinking about health equity. And so that is the foundation – community engaged work, health equity – of what we do. And then you add on top of that incredible work in public health science. And our MPH students and our MPH used to be a small boutique program, 15, 20 students, and it's now grown to over 100 students and growing. And we've been adding faculty since I got here in 2019. Our faculty has tripled. And again, we're bringing in all of these folks whose work really threads this health equity, community work, a lot of work on environmental health disparities. When a lot of other programs in the country about 15 ...

After dancing for 20 years, studying Exercise Science in undergrad, being beat up by diet culture, and eventually falling into compulsive exercise and disordered eating, Maya sought to create something to help women flourish. During Maya's Master of Public Health Program, she created a workout program, Raise The Barre! This addressed how women are under immense pressure to maintain a certain body type that changes every decade and go on extreme diets and exercise plans to try and change their bodies. Those diets, they fail 95% of the time and weight regain happens within 1-5 years. Her research project showed that we can help women feel better in their bodies, without changing them leading to the creation of Barre Empowered! A joyful movement, non-diet, and body empowering approach to exercise that leaves you feeling uplifted, empowered, and inspired. Together we discuss boundaries with movement, your “why” for exercise, and prepare for holiday diet culture messages. Find her on IG @barreempowered

Today Amy sits down with Mary Anne Hardy to discuss the relatively new area of Patient Advocacy. Mary Anne details her journey through a variety of health care roles which, over time, prepared her to begin a patient advocacy business.   Mary Anne attended Oberlin College in Ohio. She majored in chemistry with the intention of becoming a doctor. Although she received an A.B., her grades were not strong enough to warrant moving on to medical school, so she made the decision to take two more years of classes to achieve a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). Her first job as a nurse was working in a hospital unit dedicated to patients suffering from postpartum depression and other pregnancy related problems. Following that, she worked in adolescent medicine for a short time before taking a position helping women with high-risk pregnancies. These early experiences helped her decide to focus her career on preventive medicine as she saw that patients could greatly benefit if they received earlier intervention. After doing some serious research, Mary Anne chose to study for a Master's in Public Health. She enrolled in the highly regarded Public Health Program at Johns Hopkins University where she completed her degree. Shortly after, she and her husband made a move to New Jersey.   She began a search for a new position. Using word of mouth, she let her contacts know she was looking for something in the public health field. In discussing her history with her new doctor, she mentioned she was looking for a position suited to her skills. Her doctor suggested she should call someone she knew at the New Jersey Health Department about a new position there that might be of interest to her. She landed the job, and it was as a Community Coordinator for a Healthy Mothers/Healthy Babies Program. Again, she had a great learning experience, but after a year, she and her husband returned to the Washington, D.C. area.   This time Mary Anne would find a position as a nurse-consultant for a health information service. This was an early version of what would later become known as “patient advocacy”.  Working in this position provided her with an introduction to what patient advocacy was all about. Mary Anne found that she had missed working with people one-on-one and this position gave her the opportunity to return to that gratifying role. She was highly successful in assisting her patients navigate through their difficult decisions. She often expedited red tape and helped with difficult communications. She wanted her patients to understand all aspects of their case as fully as possible so they could make sound decisions. The job also gave Mary Anne a look into corporate culture. She was able to observe and learn about the business of health advocacy.   After 7 or 8 years, the company's business model changed, and Mary Anne moved on to work with the Lupus Foundation as a health educator. The patients she worked with there often had rare and/or complicated diagnoses. These cases presented Mary Anne with more difficult challenges and tested her ability to really assist with problematic casework. Again, she learned a lot from her work and her focus on her career continued to sharpen. But as often happens with working mothers, it was that time when Mary Anne felt the need to stay home with her children, and she did so for 11 years.  Returning to work after her time at home found her involved with the FDA and reviewing/ evaluating medical devices. In this position, she helped patients who had problems learning to use their particular device. Sometimes they had questions and sometimes there were malfunctions. Mary Anne was able to assist the patient and also give accurate feedback to the FDA about issues her patients encountered. She enjoyed once more working with individuals and advocating for them. Mary Anne was now at a point of much experience. She knew she wanted to pivot into a business all her own where she helped individuals navigate the often confusing and circuitous route to confident medical decision making that many people could not do alone. She wanted to build her own patient advocacy practice and she wanted to take all she had learned in her career to provide the best services possible.   Mary Anne describes to Amy the many steps she has taken to build such a business, and the many services she performs to help her clients. From attending doctors' appointments to working with her clients and their families virtually, Mary Anne describes how the many services she provides help her clients to benefit fully from the healthcare provisions available to them. For many listeners, patient advocacy may be a health-related field they were previously unaware of. For others, it will be a lesson on how to prepare meticulously to open a business as a service provider. Either way, listening to the career journey of Mary Anne Hardy might very well provide you with some inspiration for your own career planning.   Topics in this episode:   The importance of “putting away” your work at night   How to use a variety of methods such as meditation to destress   How relocating often can be disruptive but it also offers opportunities The value of networking and media exposure   Evaluating if you are cut out to work for yourself   How to be flexible when building a business during a pandemic    Links: www.montgomeryhealthadvocates.com  As They Became Seniors, They Started Businesses for Them - The New York Times (nytimes.com) https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryannehardy/

For those who put their trust in science, it's hard to understand why anyone wouldn't. But in recent decades, the voices of skeptics have grown louder by the day. From average citizens to media personalities to high-ranking government officials, it seems even the most irrefutable scientific findings are being challenged. Is it the scientists themselves, their research methods, or how their findings often challenge deeply held values that fuels this mistrust? On today's show we'll explore this phenomenon and discuss how, during the current pandemic, our ability to trust science is more important than ever. GUESTS: Naomi Oreskes - Professor of the history of science at Harvard University and the author of several books, including the recently-released Why Trust Science? Jane Lytvynenko - Senior reporter for Buzzfeed News reporting most recently on disinformation, scams, and conspiracies surrounding the coronavirus and COVID-19 Lise Saffran - Director of the Master of Public Health Program at University of Missouri and Co-chair of the Health Humanities Consortium; lead author of "Constructing and influencing perceived authenticity in science communication" Join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter.

Dr. Josée Lavoie explains how Canadian health care works, and where improvements could be made to better meet the healthcare needs of all Canadians. (Note, the presentation that accompanies the audio podcast is also posted in iTunes.) The Canada Health Act 1984 (CHA) is considered foundational to Canada’s publicly funded health care system (known as Medicare). The CHA provides for the federal transfer of funding to the provinces/territories, in exchange for provincial/territorial adherence to Medicare’s key principles of universality, comprehensiveness, portability, accessibility, and public administration. Medicare is a decentralized health care system, managed independently by Canada’s 10 provincial and three territorial governments, allowing for regional adaptations to fit varying degrees of urbanity, remoteness and needs. The Act extends care to Indigenous Canadians (First Nations, Métis and Inuit). The Act is however silent on its relationship to the Indigenous health care system – what some have described as Canada’s 14th health care system. The CHA has not kept pace with Indigenous self-government activities that have since spread across Canada. It has unfortunately crystallized the federal/provincial/territorial/Indigenous jurisdictional fragmentation that perpetuates health inequities and has failed to clarify these jurisdictions’ obligations towards Indigenous peoples. Dr.Josée Lavoie is of French Quebec ancestry, raised in northern Quebec isolated communities. She is a Professor in the Department of Community Health Sciences at the University of Manitoba, Canada and Director of Ongomiizwin Research. A Fulbright Arctic Scholar from 2018-19, she holds a PhD in Health Policy and Financing from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK.
