SUMMARY:Penn State College of Medicine—LECTURE: Direct Primary Care as a Solution for Health Care Reform?
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to attend this event. Dr. Josh Umbehr will speak about his experience starting his own Direct Pay Primary Care practice and how he sees this model as a possible solution to healthcare reform. Penn State faculty are underwriting refreshments for this event. \nAffectionately known as “Dr. Josh” by medical students who know him\, Dr. Umbehr has been a frequent speaker at BRI events\, and at a past leadership conference. He was also featured on BRI’s Next Generation Medicine podcast Episode #3.\nYou can learn more about Dr. Josh and AtlasMD on the AtlasMD website. \nI was born and raised in Alma\, Kansas where I met my high school sweetheart\, Lisa\, while playing football at Manhattan High School and followed her to Kansas State University. While there\, I majored in human nutritional sciences with a minor in biology. I also did extensive research on the effects of vitamin A on lung cancer. I then graduated from The University of Kansas School of Medicine and completed my family medicine residency at Wesley Medical Center in Wichita. After completing training and becoming a board certified Family Physician\, I opened Atlas MD\, a practice that I had been dreaming about for nearly a decade. Atlas MD represents my ideal medical practice where I’m able to shrug off the burdens and restrictions of government and insurance regulation so I can focus solely on my patients and their needs.” ~Dr. Josh Umbehr\, from the AtlasMD website \nPOST-EVENT REPORT: Forty-five students and faculty attended this event. Dr. Josh Umbehr hosted a question and answer discussion around Direct Primary Care. He shared his life as a DPC physician and how he sees DPC impacting the future of healthcare. The event was well attended and guest ranged from medical students\, to residents\, to the Chair of the Department of Family and Community Medicine. \n“I was thrilled with Dr. Umbehr’s performance and the event was a perfect inaugural event for our chapter. It was well attended and well received.” ~Nate Williams\, BRI-PSUCOM president \n“Until this event\, I had no idea what Direct Primary Care was.” ~Medical Student attendee\n“While I had previously heard about Direct Primary Care\, our Health Systems curriculum never covered it and that knowledge gap was filled today by Dr. Umbehr.” ~Medical Student attendee \nPictured from left to right: Grant Owens-Treasurer\, Nate Williams-President\, Dr. Josh Umbehr\, Mike Goldenberg-Vice President

SUMMARY:Duke University—LECTURE: Direct Primary Care: A successful medical delivery model\, with Dr. Amy Walsh
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to attend a lecture with Dr. Amy Walsh\, an established Direct Primary Care (DPC) doctor in Raleigh\, NC. Please RSVP via the link\, below. \n  \nIn spite of the growing number of physician testimonials touting the value of DPC\, many med students are still unfamiliar with Direct Primary Care as a successful medical delivery model. Please join us to hear Dr. Walsh’s story. Dr. Walsh trained at Georgetown\, went in to family medicine and worked part-time as an employed physician for 15+ years before seeing the light of DPC. In her own words\, “I opened my own DPC practice in 2015 AND HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER with my career.” \nPlease visit Dr. Walsh’s website: Doctor Direct (DoctorDirectMD.com) \n  \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Dr. Amy Walsh\, is established family medicine physician who has been practicing in the Raleigh\, NC area for over 20 years. She opened her own Direct Primary Care practice in 2015. She spoke about her journey transitioning to the direct primary care model and the benefits that it provides as an alternative model for the delivery of health care. \nApproximately 30 people were in attendance\, primarily first and second year Duke medical students with some representation from third and fourth year classes. We also had a representative from the North Carolina Academy of Family Physicians and two representatives from Benjamin Rush Institute. Dr. Walsh presented about 20 minutes of powerpoint slides and this was followed by a 20-30 minute question and answer session with the audience. \nThe event went very well. Students were engaged and interested to hear about a topic that is not covered by our usual medical education. Dr. Amy Walsh was a great speaker. She is highly enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Direct Primary Care.” ~Andrew Yuan\, Duke medical student and event organizer \n“It was such a great event. My Clinical Skills Foundation (med student small group) met afterward and was very interested in learning more about direct primary care!” ~Medical student attendee \n“I learned so much!” ~Medical student attendee \n“I’m glad we had the chance to learn more about an important topic not covered by our medical school curriculum.” ~Medical student attendee

SUMMARY:Stony Brook School of Medicine—LECTURE: Innovations in Healthcare Delivery\, with Dr. Beth Haynes
DESCRIPTION:Innovations in Healthcare Delivery: All are welcome to join us for a FREE lunch lecture with Dr. Beth Haynes\, medical director of Benjamin Rush Institute. \n  \nBeth Haynes\, MD BRI medical director\nThe need for affordable\, high quality medical care in the US is an ongoing discussion. There are some exciting models that are achieving these goals\, both in the US and internationally: cash-based practices like Direct Primary Care and the Surgery Center of Oklahoma\, the non-profit Aravind Eye Care system of India\, and the for-profit hospitals of cardiac surgeon\, Devi Shetty\, MD. What can we learn from these entrepreneurial models to help address the cost and access challenges our country faces? \nLunch guaranteed to those who RSVP 48-hours in advance. Registration Form. \n  \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: The Health Policy Discussion Club at SUNY Stony Brook University School of Medicine hosted this event\, supported by Benjamin Rush Institute. Seventy-five students attended and were treated to lunch. \nDr. Haynes gave an interesting talk on “Innovations in Health Care Delivery” that discussed some exciting models which are achieving the goals of bringing affordable health care both in the US and internationally. These included cash-based practices like Direct Primary Care and the Surgery Center of Oklahoma\, and from India\, the non-profit Aravind Eye Care system of India\, and the for-profit hospitals of cardiac surgeon\, Devi Shetty. \nThe event was greatly attended\, mainly by first year medical students. Food was served and the lecture was offered as an intellectual learning opportunity (ILO)\, which attendance to three is required to pass one of our first year classes. \nWith this event being the first event that the health policy discussion club has held under new leadership\, we believe that it was incredibly successful. The students were fully engaged with Dr. Haynes’ presentation and enjoyed the free lunch and the opportunity to obtain school credit for their attendance. Many of the students were exposed to the idea of free-market medical care for the first time and\, again\, found this event to be very useful\, especially since there are no real opportunities outside of the health policy discussion club to learn about many different approaches to solving the problems surrounding health care in the U.S.” ~Asha Liverpool\, Health Policy Discussion Club \n“That was a really interesting talk. I hadn’t been exposed to those ideas before. It’s interesting how many other options there are in medicine than the current system.” ~First year medical student\, Stony Brook School of Medicine \n“I really liked the talk. There is so much that I thought was just par for the course in medicine simply because that is the way I had seen it be done. It was interesting seeing the alternative direct care models and how that can provide less expensive care by cutting out the insurance companies. By getting rid of a lot of the overhead\, patients don’t have to pay for billing departments and insurance companies. It challenged me to consider ways to practice medicine that I had not been exposed to before.” ~First year medical student

SUMMARY:OSUMC\, Columbus\, OH—LECTURE: Direct Primary Care: Transforming Patient and Physician Wellness
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to attend this FREE lunch lecture event\, Direct Primary Care: Transforming Patient and Physician Wellness. The BRI-OSU chapter teamed up with the wellness council at OSU medical school to host a lunch talk with Dr. Heather Bartlett\, a local DPC physician\, owner and founder of The Bartlett Medical Clinic & Wellness Center. She will talk about how her practice works and how it enhances her patients’—and her own—overall wellness. We will be serving Jimmy Johns subs. The wellness council will be supplying the food and Coke will provide the drinks. \nThose who RSVP within 48 hours of the event will be guaranteed food. There is convenient parking at the 9th Ave garage across the street. \n  \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Fifty students and faculty attended the talk. Dr. Bartlett began by giving her story\, talking about all the problems in the current healthcare system that she encountered during her early years as a physician. She then talked about the process of starting her own DPC clinic\, and talked about all the ways that DPC can cut costs to provide enormous value to patients. She also talked about all the ways that her practice has saved her own personal wellness\, which is important in the face of so much physician burnout. \nMany students stayed 45 minutes after the talk was over to ask questions – there was tons of interest in DPC! One medical student even said that she planned to open a DPC practice in the future. A pre-med student there talked with Dr. Bartlett afterwards to organize a talk for a broader undergraduate audience as well. \nDr. Bartlett did a phenomenal job and was a lot of fun to listen to. I would recommend her to any other chapter looking to host a DPC physician and also for the 2018 Leadership Conference.” ~Morgan Kohls\, BRI-OSU chapter president

SUMMARY:Medical College of Wisconsin—LUNCH LECTURE: "Is Healthcare a Right?"
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to join us for this lunch lecture—the first in a 2-part discussion both occurring on 1/17/18\, one at lunch\, and one at dinner. \nWe will consider two different viewpoints surrounding the topic “Is Healthcare a Right?”—a crucial consideration in the argument for and against universal healthcare. \n \n  \nOur lunch talk will be held by Dr. Fabrice Jotterand\, a Medical College of Wisconsin Associate Professor of Bioethics\, and will be entitled “Keeping the Debate on a Moral Ground: Why Health Care is not a Right.” \nWe will also be hosting a dinner talk (separate RSVP requested) with our very own Dr. Beth Haynes\, Medical Director of the Benjamin Rush Institute\, and will be entitled “Are rights relevant to healthcare? An inquiry.” Both talks will have plenty of time for Q&A as we hope to actively engage this topic. \nPlease RSVP for both or either event to ensure enough refreshments for all. \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Fifty-six students and faculty attended this lecture. This was an exciting\, fun\, and informative day. Our BRI-MCW chapter put on two events on 1/17/18. Both revolved around the question: “Is healthcare a right?” This lunch talk with Dr. Jotterand\, a PhD bioethicist from Switzerland\, was the first of the two events. He argued that it is difficult to say that healthcare is a right\, but argued that on a moral ground we should determine that it is a social obligation for us to provide it to those around us. \nThis event went very smoothly\, it was incredible that Dr. Haynes came to the lunch talk and was able to converse with Dr. Jotterand. In return\, he came to her dinner talk and they were able to converse more.” ~Benjamin Stultz\, BRI-MCW officer

SUMMARY:St. Louis University School of Medicine—LECTURE: Build the medical practice of your dreams!
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to attend this lecture on building the medical practice of your dreams\, starting with a great foundation! Literally\, your building! \nJoin BRI-SLU and Mark Morrison to learn how to take the fears out of starting your the medical practice you envision. Please RSVP to ensure enough refreshments for all! \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Twenty-eight students attended to hear Mr. Mark Morrison and Mr. Chris Howard give an overview of the financial literacy and considerations needed in order to start your own practice. Topics that came up in this talk included advice on what common loans we would be given as a start-up practice\, as well as finding a necessary real estate professional to vouch for us as a practicing physician. \nThis talk provided a great introduction to the skills\, staff\, and finances needed to start your own practice. Healthcare professionals could benefit from learning about real estate representation and loan negotiations prior to engaging in medical financing solutions\, especially for those interested in developing their own private practice.” ~June Tong\, SLU-BRI chapter co-president \n \n“Provided a very good\, albeit rushed overview of the financial considerations needed for a private practice. I think it would have been beneficial to have expanded the event\, because there was a surprisingly larger representation of 3rd year medical students in the audience. In addition\, we received emails regarding recording the presentation\, which we couldn’t do due to technical limitations within the room. The speakers were very knowledgeable and I would greatly recommend them as a source of knowledge for those interested in starting their own practice.” Event attendee\, SLU

SUMMARY:St. Louis University School of Medicine—LECTURE: MedTech: Medical entrepreneurship\, with Ramin Lalezari
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to attend a talk on medical entrepreneurship with Mr. Ramin Lalezari\, CEO and president of Sling Health St. Louis\, a company whose objective is to make medical entrepreneurship attainable for medical students and physicians. \nPlease RSVP so we can ensure enough refreshments for all. There is free parking on Caroline Street. \nFrom Sling Health’s website: \nSling Health STL the founding chapter of a national student-run non-profit organization founded in 2013 by medical students at Washington University in St. Louis in order to confront the surplus of unsolved clinical problems they encountered within the hospitals. Our organization brings together a diverse group of students\, clinicians\, and local entrepreneurs to develop and commercialize medtech solutions that ultimately improve patient health care. \n\nOur main objectives are:\nTo make medical entrepreneurship attainable for students and physicians\nTo integrate students from the schools of medicine\, business\, engineering\, and arts & sciences to develop novel devices and software in order to tackle unmet clinical needs.\n\nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Twenty-five students attended. \n \nRamin was a good speaker. He went over different types of patents and how to get more involved in medical entrepreneurship. He also invited students to contact him for more opportunities. We usually expect a larger audience; however\, our anatomy curriculum was changed this year to become more strenuous so fewer M1 students showed up. We felt the event was helpful for the students. We hope in the future to emphasize how a medical student can get involved more so during the talk.” ~Maggie Wang\, SLU-BRI co-president

SUMMARY:Icahn School of Medicine @ Mt. Sinai—LECTURE: Physician Burnout and the Physician-Patient Relationship\, Beth Haynes\, MD
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to attend this lunch lecture. Food will be provided to those who RSVP within 48 hours of the event. \nPhysician burnout and physician suicide are epidemic. In this lecture we will look at various contributing factors and what can be done. \nDr. Beth Haynes\, medical director of the Benjamin Rush Institute\, will be meeting with students of the Stony Brook Medical School campus during lunch to discuss the topic of physician burnout and how it affects the patient-doctor relationship. \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Dr. Haynes provided a very nice overview of physician burnout\, recent trends in physician burnout epidemiology\, and some of the root causes of burnout. The continued intrusion of government\, insurance companies\, EMRs and other third parties have eroded the physician-patient relationship. Not only does this negatively impact our patients\, but it also exacts a toll on physicians. \nBeth then transitioned to summarizing some of the research into the neurobiology of human relationships\, and how these insights help us understand burnout. To activate neurohormonal axes in the brain\, humans need meaningful social contact\, including eye contact\, emotional connection\, and physical contact. These basic elements that underly the neurobiology of the physician-patient relationship are lacking in today’s overburdened and regulated practice settings. \nNotably\, direct primary care doctors claim that their practices are more fulfilling and inspire them because these physicians can practice medicine the way it should be\, and form meaningful bonds with their patients.

SUMMARY:Stony Brook—LECTURE: What Is and Isn't Insurance\, and Why It Matters to Controlling Healthcare Costs
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to attend this lunch lecture. Food will be provided to those who RSVP within 48 hours of the event. \nThink you know what insurance is? Do you know how it relates to healthcare costs? Come find out what you may not know! \nDr. Beth Haynes\, executive director of the Benjamin Rush Institute\, will be meeting with students of the Stony Brook Medical School campus during lunch to discuss the topic: “What Is and Isn’t Insurance\, and Why It Matters to Controlling Healthcare Costs.” \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Forty-nine students and faculty attended this lunch lecture. Dr. Beth Haynes\, Executive Director of BRI\, gave an hour long presentation over lunch to first year students of the Stony Brook School of Medicine. As our chapter feels not many medical students receive any formal education on the topics of health policy (unless they are in a dual degree program)\, we asked Dr. Haynes to speak about “What is and isn’t health insurance.” \n“Dr. Haynes’s presentation provided a great foundation to understanding the language involved in debating healthcare policy\, and the importance of understanding terms which are used inappropriately (specifically\, “insurance”). By clarifying the nature of insurance as just one mechanism by which healthcare can be financed\, it sowed the seeds of more productive conversation amongst the student body (overheard in the halls and facebook\, long after the presentation had ended).” ~Sean Randazzo\, event coordinator

SUMMARY:A.T. Still University—LECTURE @ Mercer College of Medicine: Netflix vs Blockbuster: A Case Study in Practice Innovation (DPC)
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to attend a lunch lecture by Drs. Pete and Christi Ghaleb. Direct Primary Care is an increasingly popular practice model which focuses on value-based care by offering patients more comprehensive services for a low monthly fee instead of billing insurance. Like a Netflix subscription for medicine\, DPC offers “all you can treat” primary care that is patient-centered\, and eliminates traditional Fee-For-Service billing (Blockbuster). Often for only $50/month for most adults\, patients receive unlimited office visits\, can call/text/email their provider directly\, and get free after-hours visits. In addition\, patients receive discounts on meds\, labs\, and imaging—commonly saving over 90%. Primary care doesn’t have to be expensive\, and DPC shows why. \nThrough this model\, DPC creates unprecedented value and is able to achieve the quadruple aim of: \n(1) higher quality care\,\n(2) lower cost of care\,\n(3) increased access\, and\n(4) greater patient/physician experience. \nThis model is included in the Affordable Care Act\, and is a hot topic in today’s health policy world because of its positive impact on patient care. \nCome sit back and learn about the future of medicine. Lunch will be provided to those who RSVP within 48 hours of the event. \nAttendees will asked be asked to participate in a very brief anonymous survey. \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Eighteen students and faculty attended this lunchtime presentation event for a study being conducted by Will Craghead on DPC’s ability to influence medical students to enter primary care specialty. Pre- & Post-surveys were collected\, and lunch was provided. \nDr. Pete Ghaleb did an excellent job at presenting on DPC and its value proposition. His presentation was well accepted by students\, and we had a great Q&A session afterwards. All in all\, students were very excited about DPC. Dr. Pete was mentored by Dr. Josh Umbehr of Atlas MD\, and he patterned his practice model after Josh’s. Pete is also helping other docs start DPC clinics. \nOne of the questions from a student was regarding DPC creating a shortage. I referred the student to AAFPs report on 2/3 of doc’s time being admin and EMR related\, also directed student to recent JAMA article refuting any such shortage: (http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2613209)” ~Will Craghead\, event organizer

SUMMARY:Medical College of Wisconsin—PRESENTATION: Grassroots Healthcare Revolution with John Torinus
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to attend this lunch lecture on healthcare policy with Mr. John Torinus. Lunch will be provided to those who RSVP. \n \n  \nJohn Torinus\, author of The Grassroots Health Care Revolution and former CEO of of Serigraph\, believes that the only way to improve health care and lower health costs are at the local level. In this talk\, he will address how companies need to return to private health care and the effect that it will have on health care quality and cost. \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Thirty-two students and faculty enjoyed lunch and a presentation by John Torinus. Mr. Torinus is currently a chairman for Serigraph\, a company in Wisconsin that has cut its healthcare spending per employee in half—from ~$26\,000 to ~$13\,000 per year. This has been accomplished through self insurance and “bundles.” \nThe event began at noon and went until one pm. Mr. Torinus provided a 30-40 minute speech on his history and how he began their self-insurance. After his presentation\, attendees were all welcome to ask questions for around 20 minutes and much conversation ensued.\nThe meal was held during the lunch talk and was provided to students of MCW. \n“This event provided important education on self-insurance. As future physicians\, we receive little education on the finances of healthcare. Receiving these kinds of introductions is paramount for our futures.” ~Benjamin Stultz\, Treasurer and event organizer\, BRI-MCW \nMost questions revolved around discrimination during hiring and the possibility of adverse selection with their market taking predominantly young\, healthy individuals.

SUMMARY:Sackler School of Medicine @ Tel Aviv University—LECTURE: How We Got to Our Healthcare Today
DESCRIPTION:Jordan Halevy\, MS1 and BRI-Sackler chapter Founder and President will deliver an overview of the history of healthcare in the US\, from the founding of the AMA and mutual societies all the way up to the ACA and beyond. The presentation will highlight the numerous government interventions into the healthcare market and how those distortions still affect us to this day. \n \nFrom the group’s Facebook page:\nAs a future physician\, empower yourself by joining us to find out how the U.S. healthcare system got its start. Learn about the roots of our broken system and what the ACA intends to do about it. Refreshments will be served at 11\, followed by a presentation given by Jordan Halevy and Q&A session. \nThis event is hosted by the Sackler Chapter of the Benjamin Rush Institute. BRI is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has established chapters on various medical school campuses across America and abroad. Board members include: Jordan Halevy\, Gabriel Banschick\, Jonathan Kovacs\, and Nicole Shalit. \nOur mission statement: Promote solutions that protect the doctor-patient relationship as the primary means of delivering quality medical care\, empowered by a robust free enterprise system\, which fosters innovation and reduces costs. \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Eighteen students attended this presentation. \n“The event started off with refreshments being served. We received a solid turnout of approximately one third of the freshman class. The presentation focused on major milestones in American healthcare that either still exist with us or served as the impetus for policy today. \n“While I attempted to focus primarily on factual legislation and such throughout the presentation\, I also used the opportunity to highlight both government intervention and cronyism from private actors. Once put together\, the presentation served as a cautionary tale about good intentions leading to bad policy while empowering special interest groups at the expense of the average American. \n“There was only one question asked at the end\, and it was a technical question about how the ACA penalty for not having insurance is assessed. I edited it out of the video to keep the video looking a lot cleaner.” ~Jordan Halevy\, BRI-Sackler chapter founder & president \nEvent feedback from Mr. Halevy:\nOne student reported enjoying the presentation and felt that he “learned a lot.” After attending he said he wanted to further pursue the topic by doing more research on his own. Another student personally thanked me for putting on the presentation\, saying it was informative and saved him the effort of needing to look up all of this material in the future. \n

SUMMARY:Medical College of Wisconsin—LECTURE: Direct Primary Care with Dr. Mark Niedfeldt
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, March 22nd\, the Benjamin Rush Institute hosted a lunch talk for 42 students with Dr. Mark Niedfeldt. An alumnus and previous MCW faculty member\, Dr. Niedfeldt now owns a solo direct medical care (often called Direct Primary Care) clinic which offers patients unprecedented access to the physician and a higher level of personal attention. We heard him speak about his practice and how he offers high quality doctor-patient relationships in a cost-effective way. \nAfter beginning with a description of the modern medical field and why costs are frequently higher than desired\, he went through a list of “problems.” E.g. big pharma\, salaries\, hospital administrators… etc. He ended by describing his current practice and laying out reasons for why he left his old setting in academia. \nOverall\, the event was well accepted and multiple students sought him out after the talk to ask specific questions. \n“This event was well timed given recent/ongoing debates on the national level regarding health care. The speaker was well prepared and persuasive.” ~Benjamin Stultz\, treasurer\, BRI-MCW
