Description
On today’s Raise the Line, we continue our Next Gen Journeys series featuring conversations with learners in medical professions around the globe. Our special guest is Omer Rott, a longtime participant in our Osmosis Medical Education Fellowship and Osmosis Health Leadership Initiative programs. Omer will soon be earning his medical degree from Masaryk University in the Czech Republic. In addition to pursuing a career as a pediatrician, he’s an aspiring diversity and inclusion medical educator who has founded DiverseMedEd, an organization dedicated to improving how healthcare professionals interact with and treat patients from different backgrounds. “There is a big gap in medical education about diverse patient populations. I think healthcare providers and many other people are afraid about how to approach someone or how to ask about their situation, which might lead them to not say anything or not even act the way they think they might need to.” Through a website (link) and social media posts, Omer has already built a following, many of whom are patients happy to be seeing these issues addressed. Join host Hillary Acer for a refreshing look at how the healthcare provider community can be more inclusive, and what lessons Omer has drawn from his extensive work mentoring fellow students over the past five years.Mentioned in this episode:DiverseMedEdEquity GraphicElsevier Blog - Is Wearing Pins Appropriate?

A Quarterback for Chronic Conditions - Dhiren Patel, VP of Medical Affairs at Pack Health: Maybe you can't pick-up your prescriptions because you can't afford to fix your car. Or maybe getting outside to exercise is a worry because your neighborhood isn't safe. Dhiren Patel and his colleagues at Pack Health, a digital health coaching company, realize there are many barriers to better health that go beyond what doctors have traditionally addressed, and that insight is built into their efforts to help people manage chronic conditions such as diabetes. As he discusses with host Shiv Gaglani, this work is more important than ever due to the greater threat COVID-19 poses to people with underlying conditions. by Raise the Line
