STAT Brand Studio’s Post

Dr. Joan Cangiarella — Elaine Langone Professor of Pathology at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine and Senior Associate Dean for Education, Faculty, and Academic Affairs at NYU Langone Health — talks about how Langone’s tuition-free model is changing medical education. “It takes a long time and it takes a lot of money to go to medical school. And I think the ability to offer tuition-free allows you to get the best applicants,” says Dr. Cangiarella. Hear more insights in a STAT Brand Studio discussion: https://lnkd.in/gmnh8TF7

There's no health equity without DEI in medicine. There is a dire need for approaches to achieving health equity through evidence-based approaches and interventions pointed toward health equity at all levels of academic medicine. Most importantly, these approaches *must* center patient voices to guide what these interventions look like! The challenge is already mighty, let alone without the massive political hurdles DEI leaders are now needing to leap over. Know this: the scientific evidence is clear about the importance of inclusion to a healthy population.

Interdisciplinary approaches that combine medicine, humanities, and community perspectives have the potential to bridge gaps in the healthcare sector, ultimately enhancing well-being and fostering resilient, innovative solutions.  This is one of the revelations that came out during an in-house workshop at MUST under the Medical Humanities Network.

This was one of my favorite lecture's from this year. It was a little off of the normal topic of bedside ultrasound. Rather, in this talk I discuss methods of task management, knowledge management and idea management that are helpful for academic physicians. https://lnkd.in/eeRq2s4i #AcademicMedicine #PKM #Productivity

➡ 🔓 Epistemic Injustice in the Medical Context: Introduction to Special Issue by Rena Goldstein https://lnkd.in/evsfW3xw [open access] ABSTRACT – SPECIAL ISSUE INTRODUCTION This special issue aims to delve deeper into the manifestations of epistemic injustice within asymmetric relationships, such as those between laypersons and experts (e.g. patients and physicians). We focus on distinguishing between warranted and unwarranted epistemic exclusions, recognizing that some epistemic harms may stem from justified exclusions, thus necessitating consideration of both just and unjust exclusions. Using examples from the medical field, including instances of misdiagnosis based on statistical correlations, we highlight the intricate nature of epistemic exclusions and their ethical implications. While some exclusions may align with established epistemic practices, others arise from unnecessary practices fueled by identity prejudice or power dynamics, thus presenting as instances of epistemic injustice. Additionally, our exploration of epistemic gaps, particularly within complex environments like medicine, illuminates the challenges individuals face in effectively conveying their experiences and accessing pertinent information. While certain forms of epistemic isolation may be warranted, others result from structural barriers hindering knowledge exchange, prompting critical reflection on the ethical dimensions of such practices.

A call for the marriage of science and humanities in medicine. “What the humanities do is help people understand the human condition.
