Advance care planning Feb 10, 2022 Sean Collins, Ira Byock M.D., & Daniela Lamas M.D. Does advance care planning work?

Medical cannabis Feb 25, 2022 Sean Collins & Susan Marks CFNP, RN, ANP-C The medical use of marijuana poses interesting issues, including its legal status: It's illegal at the federal level and it's legal in close to 40 states.

Family caregiving Mar 24, 2022 Sean Collins, Robin Henerson PsyD, Nick Kockler PhD, & Maureen Nash MD For millions of Americans, taking care of a loved one at home is a way of life. This "informal" caregiving is hard work that often falls to an elderly spouse, or to adult children, or to an ad hoc network of friends & family. Life during wartime Mar 24, 2022 Sean Collins, Anne Garrels, Orest Holubec, Inna Pashniak, Olesksyi Kurka, & Caroline Brennan Ukraine's fight unites a global humanitarian response The indiscriminate targeting of civilians as the Russian military prosecutes its illegal war on Ukraine has caused an unprecedented humanitarian crisis: more than a quarter of Ukraine's forty million citizens are displaced. In this episode, using a lens of whole person care, we talk with people reaching out to others in wartime, making connections, and countering the darkness with (in the words of W.H. Auden) "ironic points of light." The medical futurist Apr 15, 2022 Sean Collins & Bertalan Meskó, M.D., Ph.D Bertalan Meskó, M.D., Ph.D., joins us from Budapest..

Tele palliative care Apr 28, 2022 Sean Collins, Dr. Gregg VandeKieft, Dr. Kevin Murphy, & Dr. Adie Goldberg Twenty percent of Americans live in a rural setting and full access to some medical care is limited: often requiring long drives or temporary relocations. That includes specialty palliative care -- the interdisciplinary services of physicians, nurses, social workers, and chaplains aimed at helping patients control symptoms of a serious illness. On today's podcast, we explore a demonstration project underway in rural Stevens County, Washington undertaken by the Palliative Practice Group at the Providence Institute for Human Caring. The in-person nursing and chaplaincy providers in two rural hospitals are being joined by physicians and social workers through a Tele-PC video connection or by phone, allowing patients to avoid 70-100 mile drives to seek consultations. And the Tele-PC connection allows far-flung family members to be involved in bedside conversations about the goals of care. . A New Day for Psychedelic Research May 17, 2022 Sean Collins, Ira Byock M.D. FAAHPM, & Bill Richards Ph.D. The therapeutic use of psychedelics Dr. Bill Richards has been researching the therapeutic uses of psychedelic substances for 60 years and he believes there's a legitimate role for them in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and interpersonal withdrawal. He believes these substances behave in a novel way among psychiatric medications: it's the memory of an experience that's therapeutic and that you carry with you. You don't have to keep taking medication every day to have the effect. You experience something so profound, that it changes your whole concept of who you are. Starting med school later in life Jun 12, 2022 Sean Collins, Kevin Murphy, M.D., Rebecca Armendariz, M.D., Tara Kimbeson, M.D., & Tom McNalley, M.D. Does Other Work Experience Make A Difference? A small number of first year medical students each year are significantly older than the norm. They've come to medicine as a second or sometimes third career. Do those other work experiences make a difference in how they make their way through their training and, more importantly perhaps, do they make a difference in how the individuals practice medicine? Seán talks with four physicians who began their training later in life. 1 2 Next 11 Result(s) Page 1 of 2
