The first global wave of reform in modern medical education occurred early in the 20th century, following the Flexner report. The second wave came in the latter half of that same century, led by innovations in problem-based learning and community orientation. Recently, the Lancet Commission called for a third wave of reform to create transformative system-based medical education that is socially accountable. This may be a fine aspiration, but is it possible? How can we translate new understandings from neuroscience, sociology, and the sciences of learning to meet this aspiration? In doing so, may we also transform research on medical education from eminence-based to evidence-based medical education? How accountable are we prepared to be for the results of our efforts? And to whom?
In his Brodie Medical Education Award Lecture, Dr. Paul Worley draws on evidence from medical schools around the world to explore these critical questions and consider the challenge that social accountability brings to academic medicine's combined research, education, and service mission.
The Brodie Medical Education Award Lecture
Co-presented with the Department of Medicine and the Brodie Medical Education Award Committee, in association with the School of Medicine’s Medical Education Week, 29 February-4 March 2016.
The opioid epidemic is currently exacting a terrible toll on the health, lives, safety, and livelihood of persons and communities across Virginia, the Appalachian region, and, indeed, much of North America. What is being done to address this crisis at the levels of policy and practice in the Commonwealth of Virginia and in Charlottesville-Albemarle and environs? In this Medical Center Hour, the Honorable William A. Hazel Jr MD, Secretary of Health and Human Resources for the Commonwealth, discusses Virginia’s five-pronged approach to the epidemic and the impact of that approach to date. He is joined in this conversation by a primary care physician and community mental health professionals.

Summary:
This is a flythrough animation of the 3D data captured at the Villa Almerico Capra Valmaran, aka Villa la Rotonda, in March 2019. Data was captured by University of Virginia Architectural History students under the direction of Andy Johnston and Will Rourk in collaboration with the Institute for Advanced Technologies in the Humanities at the University of Virginia and the de Valmarana family. The animation was created in Autodesk ReCap v.2023 by Will Rourk.

This video was created by Shayne Brandon, Institute for Advanced Technologies in the Humanities, University of Virginia Library. It was produced from aerial footage captured by a DJI Inspire 1 quadcopter with X1 HD camera. The footage was captured during field work by UVA Architectural History students performed in March 2019 under direction of Andrew Johnston, Worthy Martin and Will Rourk for their 3 Cavaliers granted project to 3D scan the Villa la Rotonda in Vicenza, Italy.
The 1918 influenza pandemic was a global calamity that brought death on an unprecedented scale and intensified the devastating impact of World War I even as the armistice was signed in November 1918. Statistics tell the tale of this flu in one way, science tells it in another, but this Medical Center Hour—the third in a mini-series marking the pandemic's centenary—lets poetry speak to the human toll exacted by the 1918 H1N1 virus. In 1995, Virginia native and distinguished poet Ellen Bryant Voigt published Kyrie, a book-length sequence of poems in which small town speakers live through the harrowing epidemic and remember, defy, and mourn. Kyrie's fierce, moving poetry brings the global calamity home. In this Medical Center Hour, Voigt (on video) reads selections from Kyrie and discusses with poet Marianne Boruch the making and meaning of this American masterpiece.
