In today's multi-generational and borderless world, study abroad programs are critical for introducing students to the world outside their university and even their country. They make up an integral part of the curriculum and the student undergraduate experience, and generally, students look back with very fond memories of their time abroad on their colleagues with whom they experienced these trips. Unfortunately, despite all the “glamour shots” and publicity surrounding these trips, there is a dark side. You typically don't hear about the deaths that occur because universities have not properly vetted the vendors for these programs. Or the risks that students can be exposed to because a low-cost vendor or the tour guide takes students on a dangerous mountain road because their previously scheduled train didn't run on time. But these happen, and when they do, they expose both the students and the University to unnecessary risk. To learn more about study abroad programs, Dr. Drumm McNaughton spoke with Robyn Symon, producer of Emmy Award-winning documentaries and biopics on such notable celebrities as Robin Williams and Michael Jackon, Robyn has spent over 20 years documenting events in the lives of people, and her latest project, Trip of a Lifetime, focuses on the study abroad industry and how we can keep our students safe during these important programs. Podcast Highlights Inquire as to how your programs have been vetted for safety. Risk management is important, even with the study abroad programs. Do not assume that other countries have the same safety regulations that we do in the US. Don't shortchange culture because there will always be resistance that could jeopardize it. Do not throw the baby out with the bathwater. These programs are very important for students' education, growth, and maturity, but they need to be vetted properly from A-Z to ensure the safety of all participants and the liability to the University. Guest Bio   Robyn Symon is a two-time Emmy award-winning Writer/Producer/Director/Editor. Robyn joined PBS in 1991 after four years as a TV News Reporter in Texas.

She has produced national TV specials on Robin Williams and Michael Jackson and an investigative program on the opioid epidemic.

Welcome to Difficult Conversations with Dr. Anthony Orsini. On this episode, we have another amazing guest!  Joining us today is Dr. Wendy Dean. Dr. Dean is a writer, speaker, podcast host, and the President and Co-Founder of Moral Injury of Healthcare, which is a nonprofit organization that provides training and consultation to organizations focusing on alleviating distress in their workforce.

She tells us why she decided to leave surgery and go into psychiatry?  Find out why Moral Injury is a better term than burnout when describing what healthcare professionals are feeling right now.   She goes in depth about the state of psychiatry and mental health care being in a tough place right now. We hear the story of how Dr. Dean met Dr. Simon Talbot, and what prompted them to start Moral Injury of Healthcare.  Dr. Dean shares ways resiliency programs can help people, such as nurses, but they do not fix the problems that causes moral injury. Dr. Orsini and Dr. Dean share their thoughts on hospitals being run now by people who are not in the healthcare industry, and how there is a lack of quality communication. We hear some great advice from Dr. Dean about the future for Moral Injury of Healthcare and what she would like to see happen in facilitating the relationship between the patient and the clinician. After having this enlightening conversation today, Dr. Orsini concludes that physician burnout should be replaced with the term moral injury.

Welcome to Difficult Conversations with Dr. Anthony Orsini. We've had several episodes over the past eighteen months on the topics of physician burnout, the toxic culture of medicine, and the high rates of substance abuse in healthcare professionals. These are topics that I care about deeply and  speak about during my presentations and workshops. I recently spoke at a Global Summit on Ending Physician Burnout.  As part of the summit, attendees were able to get a free viewing of a groundbreaking and game-changing documentary , Do No Harm.  This documentary is an honest, deep dive into the increasing rate of physician suicide, its origins, and why this is a serious healthcare crisis, not only for physicians, but patients as well.  Today, we are extremely fortunate to have the producer of this documentary, Robyn Symon, who is a two-time Emmy award-winning filmmaker,  A former PBS producer, Robyn has directed six featured documentary films, as well as produced and directed television programs for various networks. We are so lucky and honored to have her as our guest today! We learn more about Robyn and why she started to investigate the causes behind physician burnout. Dr. Orsini tells us some of the jaw dropping statistics. Robyn reveals the truth  about physician  and medical student suicide  and doctors reporting substance abuse. She talks about the shortage of doctors and how we need to make sure that physicians and nurses are cared for and that they are not sleep deprived. Robyn fills us in about the documentary and talks about Hawkins, who is a very courageous med student willing to talk about his story with depression and suicide attempt.  Dr. Orsini stresses how many physicians just don't ask for help and there are no real support systems available  Robyn tells us she's optimistic, but shares her concerns about the pressures on physicians.  Dr. Orsini shares a story with us about “pimping” in medicine and what happened to him when he was a resident.  Robyn shares a great story about the LA Children's Hospital and what they are doing with their MA's to free up time for the residents. Dr. Orsini and Robyn talk more about her film as she explains that it's a tool to open a dialogue.  We end with Robyn sharing the most difficult conversation she's ever had and how she navigated through it.

(11/9/20) Jumping off hospital rooftops, hanging themselves in janitorial closets, overdosing on drugs—they’re A students and their suicides are often like well-planned school projects. Doctors are our healers, yet they have the highest rate of suicide among any profession. Two-time Emmy Award-winner Robyn Symon’s eye-opening new documentary Do No Harm exposes a silent epidemic and the truth about a sick healthcare system that not only drives our brilliant young doctors to take their own lives but puts patients’ lives at risk too. Join us for a hard look at this disturbing phenomenon in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.

Jeff welcomes back to the podcast SurgeonMasters collaborator and Emmy-award winning documentary filmmaker Robyn Symon. Last time she was on the podcast, we talked about Robyn’s documentary film Do No Harm which investigates the high rate of burnout and suicide among physicians and how it links to medical errors and patient safety. And with September being National Suicide Awareness Month, we thought it was the right time to bring her back for an extended conversation. You would think that the medical field would hold itself to a higher standard when it comes to the health and well-being of its own. But in fact, the opposite is true. In general, it seems like people in medicine treat themselves and their colleagues with less regard for their well-being. We’re focused so much on the “demand” and an assembly line model of care. But no one is focusing on the “supply” of physicians needed to take care of the demand. If we don’t address the supply (or doctor) side of the issue, patient care will suffer.Doctors also face tremendous risk when bringing these issues to light. Administrators often see them as “complaining” or “rocking the boat.” As a result, many physicians don’t want to speak out for fear of losing their jobs. We need to educate both physicians and administrators about how to effectively address these issues.The relationship between patients and physicians is eroding. Physicians want to spend more time with patients, but they’re being beaten down by this assembly line model of care. When patients see that they’re stuck in the same “assembly line” model, it really helps build back that trusting doctor-patient relationship.What steps does Robyn suggest we do to address the systemic issues causing suicide in the medical community?Step 1 - Realize that physicians are human beings, not superheroes.Step 2 - Work with colleagues, patients, and administrators to continue the conversation on these important topics.Step 3 - Don’t be afraid to rock the boat! We need to collectively start speaking up on these issues for the betterment of ourselves and our patients.Email Robyn and the Do No Harm team: Info@donoharmfilm.comMost importantly, let’s start having tough conversations!Robyn SymonRobyn Symon is a two-time Emmy Award-winner, and an accomplished writer, producer/director, and editor.

Robyn Symon Interview: Physician Suicide & DO NO HARMRobyn Symon, a two-time Emmy award-winning filmmaker, joined me for the Licensed to Lead podcast on April 30, 2020.Robyn has written, directed, and produced films and television series—and she specializes in documentaries. We spoke about her acclaimed and riveting film that takes an unblinking look at the dark underbelly of medical training. Robyn is passionate about doing what she can to highlight and address the inhumanity of medical training—inhumanity which unfortunately can also be found in healthcare organizations. She’s currently on an international film tour with her documentary about physicians and medical training—the film is:DO NO HARM: Exposing the Hippocratic HoaxDO NO HARM is about a sick culture in medical school and residency that drives depression and burnout and suicide among medical students and physicians. This is an issue that is important to physicians and so critical to the future of medicine. It is phenomenal and hopeful that a filmmaker of Robyn Symon’s caliber chose to create a documentary to help stop the abuse of medical students and residents.Robyn was particularly interested in joining me on the Licensed to Lead Podcast to highlight a series of screenings of the film in May—during Mental Health Awareness Month. When I asked Robyn what messages she wanted to communicate with the film she said she wants people to understand:- Why physician suicides are happening and what the impact is on patients- That physicians and patients must unite in their desire for an excellent healthcare system- That when physicians are burned out or suicidal “The problem is NOT YOU”—the problem is the system and the system must change- The importance of discussing suicide and reducing the stigma about mental illness One of the most urgent messages for medical students and physicians is the importance of understanding the threat posed to their mental health and the critical need to seek mental health assistance. Robyn Symon and Dr. Pamela Wible are on a mission to reduce barriers to mental health treatment including:- Affordability- Accessibility to high-quality support and treatment- Eliminating questions about prior mental health treatment on licensing and credentialing applicationsIn the interview, Robyn talks about resistance some medical schools have to host the film and audience discussions. Robyn and other experts accompany the film to medical schools and healthcare organizations in order to lead the post-screening conversations. Considering the propensity for resistance she also marvels at the fact that over 180 organizations have hosted screenings with follow up audience discussions. We also talked about the science of sleep deprivation and the disingenuous arguments that are used to justify 28-hour shifts for trainees. There is a big question mark about the Congressional decision to leave regulation of work hours and work content to the ACGME.Other topics included:Physician disillusionment with the commoditization of medicine and the dysfunctional EHRRevelations, particularly to the public, as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.Physician leadership and a discussion about whether unionization of a profession like medicine is a good idea.During the month of May, which is Mental Health Awareness Month, Robyn is conducting on-line screenings of the film every Sunday night. The screenings are available by going to the website DONOHARMFILM.COM and registering. Robyn introduces the film and after the film, she presides over a panel discussion by experts. Each Sunday night a different topic is emphasized and the panelists are chosen based on that evening’s primary focus. Dr. Pamela Wible, who is an instrumental part of the film, joins Robyn and the panelists for all of the screenings in May.

Robyn Symon is a two-time Emmy Award-winner, and an accomplished writer, producer/director, and editor. She is the producer and director of the documentary film, Do No Harm, about the healthcare system that drives us to take our lives. We discuss how prevalent physician suicide is and how the real numbers and demographics are so difficult to track. We talk about the difference between paying lip service to change and what changes may actually help. We also talk about how the current coronavirus epidemic will make more apparent how overtaxed and overburdened many physicians really are. There will be an upcoming virtual screening on April 19 (see below).   Ms. Symon began as a television news reporter in Texas, then joined PBS in Miami where she hosted and produced documentaries, public affairs programs and the TV series Florida!

Jeff welcomes to the podcast award-winning documentary filmmaker and physician advocate, Robyn Symon. Robyn directed the film Do No Harm which investigates the hidden epidemic of physician suicide, burnout, and the link to patient safety. The film follows the stories of several physicians in medical school, residency, and clinical practice working in our toxic healthcare environment. The goal of the film is to bring awareness to the high rate of physician suicides and to destigmatize mental health. As we know, there are quite a few challenges for us to overcome. What does Robyn suggest we do to move forward?Start a conversation! Solutions can only come from having conversations. When we don’t have difficult conversations, problems get worse. She hopes that we can destigmatize mental health for physicians. She hopes that patients will ultimately benefit from improvements that come from these conversations. She hopes that the film will be a method to start these conversations.What are YOUR next steps?Open a dialogue to destigmatize mental healthOpen a conversation to support changes to licensing and credentialing applications that protect the health of patients and the physiciansOpen communication in front of or with administrators to stop the abuse of physicians by the systemOr just listen to episode 54 with Robyn Symon, Do No Harm!Most importantly, start having difficult conversations about mental health and suicide with your colleagues!
