March 23: "After the End of American Medical Ideology – Building a New Foundation for US Health" with Eric Reinhart, MD, PhD
**HYBRID EVENT: join us IN-PERSON or ONLINE. Please RSVP regardless and indicate your intended mode. The in-person event will be held in Baldwin Auditorium of the Lurie Medical Research Building at 303 E. Superior; Chicago. Lunch will be provided for in person attendees on a first-come, first-served basis.**
In a recent essay, "Doctors Aren’t Burned Out From Overwork. We’re Demoralized by Our Health System," published in The New York Times, Dr. Eric Reinhart attempted to reframe "burnout" among healthcare workers to explain how perverse financial motivations pervading the US health system undercut the ethical and pragmatic value of our labor––a process he argued is accelerating the collapse of American medical ideology. This talk will expand on that essay, developing the intertwined ideas of medical ideology, clinicism, accompaniment, and the paradoxes of prevention in order to move from diagnostic reflection to solutions-oriented action. He will propose that to achieve the changes that both patients and caregivers need will require a renewed ethics of care tied to a health systems revolution that reorganizes both US health policy around bottom-up, community-based care systems rather than reactive, top-down biomedical treatment paradigms.

Policy is a powerful tool for systematically altering healthcare access and quality, but the role that policy (and its inseparable politics, polity structures, and policymakers) plays in dissemination and implementation science efforts is understudied. This presentation will describe policy-relevant framework adaptations researchers can use to investigate policy’s role in implementation success. The presentation will also describe how policy-relevant framework adaptations are being used to guide research on tailored dissemination strategies to increase evidence-informed policymaking for opioid use disorder treatment.

Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine
A Defense of Physician Facilitated Death
Physicians do engage in activities that facilitate patients deaths. The claim that is made is that these activities are different from what is called physician-assisted suicide. Are they? What distinctions are offered to differentiate such activities, and do the distinctions hold? What practices, which facilitate dying, are morally and professionally acceptable? This talk will consider the way in which thought on this issue developed in this country, and compare it to the Netherlands, France, and Canada. Professor Sheldon will also sketch his own views about where we should go in the future. Also, the beginning of the talk will briefly describe the way our ideas about death and its place in our existence have evolved.
This lecture will be held in-person for Northwestern students, faculty, and staff in the Searle Seminar Room in the Lurie Research Building (303 E Superior). Chicago Campus. For those outside the Northwestern community and anyone who would prefer to attend remotely, the Zoom option will continue to be available.

Indigenous People Navigating Healthcare in a Dystopian Society
What do (coerced) treaty rights and tribal sovereignty have to do with healthcare professionals and instructors in a big city like Chicago? How do you provide optimal healthcare when you don t know what you don t know about Native people? Native citizens in what is currently the US navigate a checkerboard healthcare system and a settler society established with the goal of assimilation. Often these social determinants of health are not considered when training healthcare professionals or when providing healthcare to Native folks.
This lecture will be held in-person for Northwestern students, faculty, and staff in the Searle Seminar Room in the Lurie Research Building (303 E Superior). Chicago Campus.

Mind the Gap:
How do multiracial individuals fit into health research?
The number of people in the United States who identify with more than one racial category has more than doubled in the past decade. Multiracial individuals present methodological and definitional challenges to researchers and clinicians aiming to address racial health disparities. This talk will review discrepancies when measuring variables such as race, ethnicity, and ancestry in genomics research, and present recommendations for the inclusion of multiracial individuals in a just and equitable framework.
This lecture will be held in-person for Northwestern students, faculty, and staff in the Searle Seminar Room in the Lurie Research Building (303 E Superior). Chicago Campus.

Mohammad Hosseini, PhD
Postdoctoral Researcher

Ethics of Recognizing Contributions in Academic Collaborations
Receiving authorship credit or being acknowledged in publications are among the most commonly used forms of recognizing contributions in academic collaborations. However, recognition of contributions has become much more complicated in the last few decades, encouraging the academic community to devise new solutions such as the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT) that could minimize ethical tensions. In this presentation, Dr. Hosseini will introduce CRediT and discuss some of the challenges of using it.
This lecture will be held in-person for Northwestern students, faculty, and staff in the Searle Seminar Room in the Lurie Research Building (303 E Superior). Chicago Campus.

An exciting lineup of presentations and discussions--centered around this year's theme: RESISTANCE--will showcase diverse work by a mix of Northwestern Medicine clinicians and researchers, colleagues from other Chicagoland institutions, and alumni of the Medical Humanities and Bioethics graduate program.
/////
In our keynote presentation, Louise P. King, MD, JD (Harvard Medical School) and Katie Watson, JD (Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine) will consider clinicians options and obligations in response to criminal laws prohibiting the provision of abortion care. When legislatures pit the freedom and livelihood of clinicians against the health and self-determination of pregnant people, what could or should resistance look like?
