"Harnessing Implementation Science to Realize the Promise of Evidence-Based Practice in Healthcare" with Rinad Beidas, PhD
Online - 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Hosted by the Institute for Public Health and Medicine (IPHAM) at Northwestern University.
Guest:
Rinad Beidas, PhD
Associate Professor, Psychiatry, Medical Ethics and Health Policy, and Medicine, Perelman School of Medicine
Director, Penn Implementation Science Center (PISCE@LDI), Leonard Davis Institute
University of Pennsylvania
Rinad Beidas, PhD is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry; Medical Ethics and Health Policy; and Medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. She is the Founder and Director of the Penn Implementation Science Center at the Leonard Davis Institute (PISCE@LDI). Major scientific discoveries have produced scores of evidence-based practices (EBPs) to improve health and mental health. Unfortunately, many of these EBPs never make their way into routine health care delivery. Implementation science is the study of methods to promote the systematic uptake of EBPs into routine care with the broad goal of ensuring that scientific discoveries realize their potential and improve people s lives. Dr. Beidas' research program is designed to improve the quality of health and mental health services through implementation science.

Ebola and Structural Violence - Eugene Richardson & Paul Farmer - Health Across Borders Keynote Presentation
Online - 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Cosponsored by the Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities, the Institute for Public Health and Medicine, and the Institute for Global Health Studies
EBOLA AND STRUCTURAL VIOLENCE
Eugene Richardson, MD, PhD
Assistant Professor of Global Health and Social Medicine; Assistant Professor of Medicine, Division of Global Health Equity, Brigham and Women's Hospital
Harvard Medical School
Author of Epidemic Illusions: On the Coloniality of Global Public Health (2020)
Paul Farmer, MD, PhD
Kolokotrones University Professor of Global Health and Social Medicine
Harvard Medical School
Author of Fevers, Feuds, and Diamonds: Ebola and the Ravages of History (2020)
How do the specific histories and practices of global public health fundamentally shape the way epidemics unfold and inequality deepens? Our two physician-anthropologists speakers, Eugene Richardson and Paul Farmer, have engaged this question together over many years, working not only on the clinical frontlines of Ebola epidemics, but crafting analytic frameworks with which to make sense of those experiences. Join us as they draw on their respective new books to offer on-the-ground insights and critical tools for re-thinking the relationships and lines of responsibility between epidemics, inequality, and the field of public health.
