553. The new MCAT and doctors for the 21st century (1:01:15)

Summary:
With health care reform on the near horizon and other social realities (aging, immigration, chronic conditions, quests for prevention and wellness) dramatically changing health care in the U.S., what kinds of doctors will our health care system (and its patients) require? Clearly, not just medical school curricula but also the selection process for medical students will be key determinants of whether we have physicians fully prepared to practice as the 21st century progresses. This Medical center hour addresses transformational changes underway in the pre-professional preparation and selection of the nation's medical students, including a new version of the MCAT exam, which goes "live" in 2015. What does this new MCAT signal for premedical students as they prepare for medical school? How might colleges and universities offer their premedical students academic experiences that will better equip them for medical school and medical practice in the 21st century?

557. The opioid epidemic's impact on public health and patient care (59:55)

Summary:
The opioid epidemic raging in the U.S., including in Virginia and neighboring states, took nearly two decades to develop and will take years to quell. So says the recent National Academy of Medicine (NAM) report, Pain Management and the Opioid Epidemic: Balancing Societal and Individual Benefits and Risks of Prescription Opioid Use (July 2017). Drug overdose due to opioid medications is now this country's leading cause of unintentional injury death. The current crisis is particularly challenging because the epidemic's broad reach "has blurred the formerly distinct social boundary between prescribed opioids and illegally manufactured ones, such as heroin," asserts the NAM committee's chair, UVA law professor Richard J. Bonnie. In this Medical Center Hour, Professor Bonnie and palliative care specialist Dr. Leslie Blackhall address the impact of this epidemic on public health and patient care and discuss what actions regulatory bodies, health care organizations, and health care professionals could take.

560. The play's the thing: teaching leadership with creative arts (1:02:17)

Summary:
Despite their reliance on technical knowledge that requires mastery, medicine, law, and business are all deeply human professions. Medicine is more than body repair, law more than legal systems, business more than the physics of money. While professional education necessarily must be at the cutting edge of technical expertise, it must remember too the human nature—including the values, emotions, and richly complicated lives—of professionals and professional organizations. In this Medical Center Hour, Professor Ed Freeman from UVA's Darden School of Business demonstrates how the creative arts and humanities can be embedded in professional education to address and actively teach ethical conduct in professional life and leadership of complex professional organizations. What lessons in course design, student engagement, and classroom outcomes might medical educators draw from Professor Freeman's courses, "Business Ethics through Literature" and "Leadership, Ethics, and Theater"?
