Summary:
Anthropologist, activist, and priest Roshi Joan Halifax is the founder and head teacher of the Buddhist monastery, Upaya Zen Center. Seventeen years ago at Upaya, she pioneered a new form of bedside contemplative care known as "Being with Dying," which has since helped to illuminate and change the psychosocial, ethical, and spiritual care of the dying. Halifax's newest work probes what she calls five "edge states" of how we become involved with our fellow beings: altruism, empathy, integrity, respect, and engagement. In this Bice Memorial Lecture, she explores the risks and the opportunities for courage and compassion that persons in the helping professions encounter "at the edge."

Summary:
Even as the University of Virginia and other medical schools across the U.S. prepare to graduate a new wave of physicians, what will be these doctors' roles and responsibilities in a health care system increasingly stressed by social and political pressures, cultural challenges, and financial shortfalls? And what will be—what should be—expected of physicians and the medical profession in years to come, in their practice, in communities, in policy circles, in the public square? In this Medical Center Hour, Dr. Christine Cassel, a longtime leader in medicine and medical education, offers her perspectives on what should be expected of physicians and other health professionals in coming years--in their practice, in their communities, in government and policy circles, and in the public square.

Summary:
Twenty-first century physicians and other clinicians who are caring for patients in an era of unlimited knowledge, rapid knowledge turnover, and ever-more-sophisticated artificial intelligence (Watson!) increasingly need new skills and strategies. Such practitioners need too a renewed capacity for compassion. In this Medical Center Hour, eminent physician leader Dr. Steven Wartman, 2019 recipient of UVA's Brodie Medical Education Award, maps this critical juncture and challenges educators and other health professional leaders to reimagine and reengineer how we prepare doctors and other health care practitioners.
