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

SUMMARY:Georgetown University—LECTURE: Direct Primary Care\, Family- and Modern Mobile Medicine
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to attend this presentation by two family practice doctors on Direct Primary Care\, Drs. Marguerite Duane and Matt Haden. \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Forty students and faculty took advantage of this opportunity to explore DPC. Drs. Marguerite Duane and Matt Haden spoke about their direct primary care practice called Modern Mobile Medicine. Their model makes use of the direct primary care model but also incorporates home visits and telemedicine to improve convenience for patients. One of their patients attended the talk with her son and explained how beneficial the practice model was for her. Not only can she access very affordable care around the clock\, but she also is able to have a doctor visit her or her son at home\, minimizing the hassle of visiting a doctor’s office. Modern Mobile Medicine is in its early stages but is expanding rapidly. \n\nHad a great time talking to @Georgetown #medstudents  last week.  Great to see interest in #DPC and the #doctorpatientrelationship https://t.co/PcuzRqIdBP \n— Matt Haden MD (@matteohaden) February 13\, 2017 \n \n“This event surpassed our expectations. There was a very large audience\, and they were actively engaged. The speakers were excellent and were able to share their experiences thus far in medicine and how their new practice is embodying what drew them to medicine in the first place. We had a DPC speaker in the fall who was terrific\, but these speakers were just as good. They not only explained the huge benefits of DPC\, but they also touched on why the insurance-based and heavily-regulated traditional model does not make economic sense or provide patients with the best options or prices. The event attracted those interested in both DPC and primary care in general\, so I feel that a wide range of opinions on healthcare policy were represented. Drs. Duane and Haden could not have represented the free market any better than they did. Overall\, the event could not have gone better.” Malcom Magovern\, BRI-Georgetown chapter president. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai—LECTURE: Fortress and Frontier in American Healthcare with Dr. Robert Graboyes
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to listen to one of the most frequently requested lecturers on healthcare policy. The BRI-Icahn chapter is pleased to present Dr. Robert Graboyes\, who will be speaking about his fortress and frontiers framework for understanding barriers to innovation in American healthcare. \nThere are few who can illuminate the challenges of innovation in healthcare with such wit and intelligence as Dr. Graboyes. Refreshments will be served. Kindly RSVP to ensure enough food for all. \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Dr. Graboyes gave a very interesting talk to 40 students and faculty about his model of the barriers to innovation in medicine. The fortress represents risk averse\, vested interests that resist change\, such as insurance companies\, physicians and hospitals. The frontier is where other sectors of the economy operate\, such as IT. In health care\, Dr. Graboyes argued that we are unwilling to take the risks necessary to move medicine forward at the same rate IT has advanced. \nIn an engaging manner\, Dr. Graboyes walked through several examples of where the frontier in American health care is developing\, defying the trend of most of the field. He spoke passionately about his own experiences as an A fib patient\, and the comfort and savings provided to him by a mobile EKG iPhone case. This allows Dr. Graboyes better control over his own health care decisions\, allows him to save the system money and gives him more information about his health data. \nStudents had a number of questions and follow up for Dr. Graboyes\, a testament to the interesting nature of his talk. \n“The event exceeded expectations. It is a testament to Dr. Graboyes’ talk that many found it so engaging.” ~Hrishi Srinagesh\, BRI-Icahn president and event coordinator \nDr. Robert Graboyes is a Senior Research Fellow and Health Care Scholar at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. Author of “Fortress and Frontier in American Health Care\,” his work asks\, “How can we make health care as innovative in the next 25 years as information technology was in the past 25?” \nPreviously\, he was health care advisor for the National Federation of Independent Business\, economics professor at the University of Richmond\, regional economist/director of education at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond\, and Sub-Saharan Africa economist for Chase Manhattan Bank.

SUMMARY:George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences—LECTURE: When Health Policy\, Economics and Patient Care Intersect
DESCRIPTION:Interested in hearing the practitioner’s perspective on how healthcare economics and patient care might be impacted by the recent election? All are welcome to join the BRI-GWU chapter on Wednesday 12/7 at lunch to hear Dr. Jesse Pines\, MD\, MBA\, an emergency physician who served as a Senior Advisor at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. \nDr. Pines will discuss current healthcare innovations in the context of political and economic limitations\, and how we as future physicians can navigate the changing healthcare landscape to best serve our patients. \nLunch will be provided! Please REGISTER to ensure enough food for all. \nDr. Pines is the Director of the GW Center for Healthcare Innovation and Policy Research in the George Washington (GW) University School of Medicine & Health Sciences and a Professor of Health Policy and Management at GW Milken Institute School of Public Health (MISPH). Dr. Pines is the Principal Investigator for Urgent Matters (www.urgentmatters.org)\, a program that disseminates information on best practices in emergency care. Dr. Pines is a board-certified emergency physician practicing at GW Hospital with extensive experience in quality improvement\, patient safety\, operations research\, and clinical epidemiology. Dr. Pines has served as a Senior Advisor at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services Innovation Center\, and a consultant to the National Quality Forum on patient safety and emergency care. He co-authored an Institute of Medicine Report on sustainable models for emergency preparedness funding. \nDr. Pines holds a B.A. in the Biological Basis of Behavior and a Masters of Science in Clinical Epidemiology from University of Pennsylvania and an MD and a Masters in Business Administration from Georgetown University. He completed a residency in emergency medicine at the University of Virginia Health Sciences Center and a fellowship in research at Penn. Prior to coming to GW in 2010\, Dr. Pines served on the faculty at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine for 5 ½ years. \n \nDr. Pines has been awarded funding from multiple organizations including the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality\, GW Hospital\, Universal Health Services\, Inc.\, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation\, the National Institutes of Health\, the Department of Homeland Security\, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services\, Emergency Medicine Foundation\, American College of Emergency Physicians\, American Geriatrics Society\, the Institute on Aging\, the Thomas McCabe fund\, the University Research Foundation at Penn\, the National Priorities Partnership on Aging\, Boehringer-Ingelheim and Abbott Point-of-Care. \nHe is author on more than 200 peer-reviewed publications and has published several books: Visual Diagnosis in Emergency and Critical Care Medicine (2006\, 2011)\, Evidence-Based Emergency Care: Diagnostic Testing and Clinical Decision Rules (2008\, 2013)\, and Emergency Care and the Public’s Health (2014). His latest book\, Value-Based Approaches in Acute and Emergency Care\, will be published in 2016. He has contributed to TIME magazine\, Slate.com\, Emergency Physicians’ Monthly\, Foreign Policy Magazine\, and the Wall Street Journal. \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Fifty medical students packed the meeting room to hear a practitioner perspective on what a Trump presidency could mean for healthcare. Dr. Pines\, an emergency physician with extensive experience and knowledge of health policy\, provided a brief history of health economics and health policy in the United States\, with special attention to the years leading up the passing of the ACA. He then outlined possible scenarios that might take place in the next administration by breaking down each major Republican leader’s priorities for healthcare. \n\n“Now more than ever\, people need to understand health policy and how it is going to impact physicians.” -Katie S.\, MS2 \n\nIn summary\, relentlessly rising healthcare costs without comparable health outcomes led to the ACA. Some goals of the ACA were to expand coverage and to shift towards a value-based payment system with greater accountability for patient outcomes. With the passing of MACRA\, there is a continued focus on merit-based payment for physicians and alternative payment models for hospitals. The ACA has been unpopular among many who see only a rise in cost sharing and overall healthcare spend. \n \nThe new policy agenda includes reforming Medicare and Medicaid\, shifting more to private health insurance coverage and benefits\, reducing healthcare costs\, and changing quality metrics. Dr. Pines thinks it is unlikely that the ACA will be repealed in it’s entirety; whats more likely is that major parts of it will be completely defunded. While the Republican leaders agree on some things\, they don’t agree on everything. Both Price and Ryan have strongly advocated for tax credits\, HSAs\, high risk pools\, and sales across state lines. However\, Ryan supports a continuous coverage requirement\, while Trump and Price do not. Trump and Price also advocate for price transparency. The push for price transparency is growing\, and that has the potential to radically change the healthcare system and the way we practice medicine. As it is\, most physicians don’t know themselves how much things costs and don’t know how to respond to patients when they ask how much something is going to cost. \n“Since the election\, I have truly had no idea what to expect for healthcare other than the overly simplified ‘repeal and replace.’ The lecture gave me a much better sense of what to look for in the coming administration.” -MS1 \nStudents of different political ideologies attended the event\, and there was significant discussion during the Q&A about the choice of Tom Price as health secretary. Some students expressed concern about his priorities\, while others thought him a choice who would represent physicians’ best interests. The lecture prompted numerous questions\, both during the presentation and afterwards. There is a clear understanding that policy will impact future physician practice\, and a strong desire to understand how. \n“Given the fact that it is right before finals and winter break\, I was expecting a much smaller turnout for this event. I was shocked by how many people came – first and second years who were days away from their exams\, third and fourth years who came from their hospital rotations to attend. There were even numerous requests to have the event recorded. There was a clear interest in understanding more about the current policy positions of those about to take leadership and change law. And the event absolutely delivered. Dr. Pines very clearly outlined all of the major policy positions of Trump\, Ryan\, and Price\, and he answered many questions throughout the event.” ~Caroline Jensen\, BRI-GWU President \n“A very informative talk.” – Leah F.\, MS2 \n

SUMMARY:The Ohio State University College of Medicine—LECTURE: Physician Assisted Suicide: A Legal Discussion
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to attend discussion of this controversial topic\, hosted by BRI-OSUMC. Refreshments will be served. Please use the green “Register” button top right so that we can be sure to have enough food for everyone. \nThe legal landscape of physician practices is a scarce topic in medical school education. This discussion will clearly cover the legal status and language of Physician Assisted Suicide (or Physician Assisted Death\, “PAD”) in the US and internationally\, the future of PAD in the U.S.\, and the ethical considerations brought forth by both sides of the argument. \nThe short HBO Vice episode “Right to Die” (2016) will be shown at the beginning of the hour. \nOSU’s Courtney Thiele\, JD\, MA\, 2015-2016 Clinical Bioethics Fellow\, OSU COM Center for Bioethics & Medical Humanities will lead the discussion. \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Thirty (30) students attended. The short HBO Vice episode “Right to Die” (2016) was shown at the beginning of the hour to present the topic and compare domestic & international perspectives on physician assisted suicide. The video discussed the current legal status of PAS\, and there were multiple interviews with many individuals seeking their “right to die.” The video ended by showing a woman in the Netherlands ending her life with physician assistance. \nFollowing the video presentation\, Courtney discussed the difference in terminology surrounding Physician Assisted Suicide (PAS)\, or Physician Aided Dying (PAD)\, the current state of its legality in the US\, Canada and worldwide\, and finally brought forth the ethical considerations. This was followed by stimulating Q&A.

SUMMARY:Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine—LECTURE: Understanding Health Insurance: The Key to Healthcare Access and Affordability
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to attend this lecture by Benjamin Rush Institute executive director\, Dr. Beth Haynes. Dr. Haynes will explain the differences between health insurance and actual access to healthcare\, and how understanding this is key to understanding the current problems of healthcare access and affordability. \nWe will be serving lunch food. \n  \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Dr. Haynes spoke on health insurance and how health insurance in its current form is not really insurance. She explained how health insurance prices are set\, and why premiums keep getting higher and higher. Rising premiums are causing younger people to not see health insurance as financially feasible\, leading to more people utilizing Medicaid as their “health insurance.” The loss of underwriting in health insurance policies is a big problem\, along with risk-pooling. It has created a death spiral similar to what Ludwig von Mises talks about when government gets involved in industries it has no business being in. \nDr. Haynes gave an example of how expensive health insurance is from David Goldhill’s book\, Catastrophic Care: Why Everything We Think We Know About Healthcare is Wrong. An example is someone in her mid 20’s who is making $35k annually\, and how when it is all said and done about $10k goes to paying for just her health insurance. Over the course of her life\, about 2/3rds of her income goes to health insurance alone. Dr. Haynes compared health insurance to auto\, home\, and life insurance\, and talked about how these other types of insurance are different than most health insurance plans. \nAfter Dr. Haynes talk\, the eleven students that attended ended up asking questions and having a discussion for another 45 minutes or so. We talked about solutions to fix this problem\, along with other problems that need to be addressed and ways to focus on allowing innovation in health care and health insurance.

SUMMARY:University of Alabama @ Birmingham—LECTURE: Private Practice: A How-To Guide
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome and encouraged to attend this talk with Dr. Matthew Davis\, an orthopedic surgeon who runs a price-transparent private practice in Birmingham\, Alabama. Dr. Davis is affiliated with St. Vincent’s Birmingham and received his medical degree from University of Texas Southwestern Medical School. Dr. Davis has been in practice for 16 years and will deliver remarks about his journey as a medical doctor in private practice. \nDr. Davis loves what he does every day\, because it allows him to be hands-on\, solve problems\, and build great relationships with his patients. He enjoys being able to give patients answers\, resolve their ailments\, and put them on a track toward comfort and mobility. He has 10 years of experience working as a board-certified orthopedic surgeon\, helping people by doing everything from ACL repairs to managing osteoarthritis. \nCome find out about Dr. Davis’s reflections on the changing nature of medical care delivery and how his system has been phenomenally successful for both himself and for his patients. \nRefreshments will be served. \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Thirty-six (36) students attended the presentation. President Thompson Foy opened the meeting\, thanked everyone for being in attendance\, and provided a brief review of our previous event (screening of a talk delivered by Juliette Madrigal-Dersch). He then introduced our speaker\, Dr. Matt Davis. For about 40 minutes\, Dr. Davis described the difficulties that face physicians in the traditional\, third-party payer healthcare setting. He contrasted this cumbersome model with his own practice\, in which 95% pay with cash out-of-pocket. Finally\, he spent a bit of time discussing the advantages afforded by capitalist\, free market systems. The talk was well-received\, and there were several questions from interested attendees at the end. President Thompson Foy concluded the meeting with a solicitation for membership.

SUMMARY:George Washington University School of Medicine—LECTURE: What the Election Holds for Health Policy and Reform
DESCRIPTION:All are cordially invited to join us for a lunch lecture with Keith Fontenot\, Nonresident Fellow – Economic Studies\, The Hutchins Center on Fiscal and Monetary Policy at the Brookings Institution. Mr. Fontenot will be at George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences to discuss the future of healthcare reform. Mr. Fontenot has unparalleled insight into the development of the Affordable Care Act in the Obama Administration given his previous role as associate director for Health at the Office of Management and Budget. He will speak to future directions of healthcare policy through an economic lens\, considering the possible outcomes with the election of either candidate. \nRefreshments will be served. \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Fifty students and faculty attended Mr. Fontenot’s lecture. Keith Fontenot\, a non-resident fellow of Economic Studies at Brookings Institution\, came to George Washington University School of Health Sciences to discuss the current state of the Affordable Care Act and likely first moves in health policy for an elected president. In a thought-provoking and inspiring lunch discussion\, he sat down with first and second year medical students to discuss what to watch for after the election and how medical students can stay engaged as physicians in healthcare policy. \n \nIn his talk\, Fontenot proposed different scenarios for a Clinton versus Trump presidency. In the event of a Clinton presidency\, he believes it unlikely that healthcare legislative reform will be a priority. More likely will be changes to the administrative management of the ACA’s execution. He suggested that this is where we can expect the greatest changes\, and prioritization of specific agendas will be seen in modification to the “administrative dials.” \nIn the event of a Trump presidency\, Fontenot doesn’t think a complete legislative repeal is likely. He doesn’t envision a scenario where millions of newly insured lose their insurance. Instead\, he suggested that the punishment for non-adherence to the various components of the law will be minimized\, and the general commitment to the law will thus be reduced. \nFontenot fielded numerous student questions on the subject of healthcare economics. While discussing different models of payment and care\, he emphasized the idea that “if you’ve seen one market\, you’ve seen one market.” Markets across the country are very different\, and even within states\, there are huge variations in what works and what doesn’t. Given this reality\, it is difficult to compare healthcare models and support a one size fits all option. \nThe most important thing for medical students\, Fontenot said\, is to stay engaged. Medical students must read the news and understand what is going on in healthcare policy. Healthcare policy changes have huge implications for how physicians will be reimbursed in the future\, and future physicians must stay engaged to understand how these changes will impact them and how they can have a voice in the dialogue. \n“I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect for this event\, but I was very pleased with how many people came. The students were incredibly engaged and asked many questions throughout the presentation. The presenter encouraged questions throughout and was happy to respond to a question or explain something around policy.” ~Caroline Jensen\, BRI-George Washington University chapter president \n“It is very inspiring to hear from someone who was so entrenched in the politics in the field and who knows so much about health care policy. I was very inspired to read up on what he was talking about.” ~Student\, GWU \n“That was great!!” ~Student\, GWU

SUMMARY:Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine—LECTURE: Freedom Healthworks: The Transition to Direct Primary Care
DESCRIPTION:Adam Habig of Freedom Healthworks\nDirect Primary Care: Could it be your business model once you’re a practicing physician? All are welcome to join BRI-Marian University chapter members for refreshments and to hear Adam Habig\, co-founder of Freedom Healthworks speak about what made him interested in Direct Primary Care (DPC)\, what DPC is\, along with how his company is helping doctors in Indiana transition to DPC models. You can watch a short intro video to Freedom Healthworks here. \nAdam Habig is a native of central Indiana with thirteen years of experience innovating within the realm of health care delivery. In 2003\, Mr. Habig co-founded the biosciences technology firm ISPRIT Systems\, which pioneered the use of a sophisticated information technology platform to better diagnose and manage complex chronic illness\, ultimately ascending to the role of Chief Executive Officer of the firm. ISPRIT anticipated the elevation of chronic disease prevention and management as a chief cost control\, ultimately attracting the attention of some of the world’s leading companies within the health insurance and diagnostics fields. \nIn 2013\, observing the rapid changes pervading healthcare delivery\, Mr. Habig co-founded Freedom Healthworks to unleash the innovative potential of direct primary care on a broad scale. Our full service\, turnkey model enables doctors to regain their freedom by joining the rapidly expanding movement to disentangle from the insurance and government-driven payment system. Physicians can once again deliver high quality care free of interference while setting prices their patients can afford. Patients regain the freedom to purchase routine primary care and preventive services (90% of all medical care) directly from their doctors for clear\, standardized prices\, while relegating insurance to its traditional role as a safeguard against catastrophic events. A licensed attorney\, Mr. Habig maintains an independent law practice in addition to his leadership duties with Freedom Healthworks. He currently resides in Indianapolis with his wife\, Megan. \n \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Adam Habig\, co-founder of Freedom Healthworks\, spoke to eight event attendees about Direct Primary Care (DPC). He talked about DPC and what it offered doctors and patients. He had two cutouts showing all the regulations in the US Healthcare System\, along with a table of the top 20 concerns of physicians for 2016. DPC gets rid of most of those regulations in the current healthcare system\, along with most of the concerns for 2016 physicians. He spoke on how his parents (both physicians) were considering retirement in the prime of their medical careers. They were burned out with not being able to practice medicine the way they wanted too. Adam and his brother Chris decided to focus their time on creating Freedom Healthworks. Their company focuses on transitioning doctors of all ages into DPC practices. They have come up with a template for doctors allowing them to reduce some of the main challenges to starting up a DPC clinic: finding patients\, business decisions\, administrative work. Westfield Premier Physicians (http://www.westfieldpremier.com/index.html)\, is Freedom Healthworks pilot clinic\, and they look forward to proving what DPC clinics can provide doctors and patients. \n“I thought the event went great. I would have liked to see more people attend to hear what Adam had to say. Direct Primary Care (DPC) is an idea that interests many people when they hear the message. The people that did come to the event really enjoyed it. A couple people attending didn’t know much about DPC\, but they became very engaged and asked questions\, excited to learn more.” ~Trenton Schmale\, BRI-Marian chapter founder & president.

SUMMARY:OUHCOM-Dublin—LECTURE: Free Market Medicine: A Cash Based Alternative
DESCRIPTION:Jules Madrigal-Dersch\, MD at OUHCOM\nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Twenty-four students attended Dr. Madrigal’s presentation. She talked about her cash based practice in Texas\, where basic health needs are handled in a direct patient-doctor relationship\, and health insurance is used for what it was originally intended: catastrophic events. When a doctor and patients are in charge of costs and treatments\, the doctor is empowered to negotiate with lab companies\, imaging companies\, and pharmaceutical companies and other healthcare service providers to keep patient costs down. Dr. Madrigal described how her model of direct primary care works for all of her patients: the really sick\, the really healthy\, the rich\, the poor\, and the middle class.  Dr. Madrigal has removed government interference\, over-regulation\, and red tape out of the picture to keeps costs down\, care quality high\, patients happy and physicians happy. \n“Dr. Madrigal’s talk was very informative. I came to medical school to become a Primary Care Physician\, but have recently been discouraged. She re-lit the fire in me to pursue this dream and showed me that it is possible to to be a PCP without having to deal with the ACA. Her talk also persuaded me to attend a DPC conference in Dallas\, Texas.” ~ Jacob Chevlin\, OMS I and BRI member \nAll students\, faculty\, and practicing physicians are welcome to attend BRI-OUHCOM/Dublin’s event on cash based medical practices. We welcome Jules Madrigal-Dersch\, MD and BRI board member\, to speak about her cash based Med-Peds practice in rural Texas. Having this event early in the year may be important in giving our new M1’s a refreshing\, new perspective on the broad range of Primary Care practices and encouraging future physicians to look into Family Medicine as a enjoyable career option. \nHaving this event early in the year may be important in giving our new OMS1’s a refreshing\, new perspective on the broad range of Primary Care practices and encouraging future physicians to look into Family Medicine as a enjoyable career. She will place an emphasis on a free market approach to healthcare which allows her to bypass government red tape. \nWe encourage practicing physicians and other healthcare professionals to attend to get information on how to scale a cash based medical practice model like Dr. Madrigal’s to an urban setting. \nRefreshments will be served. \nThis article is insightful reading preparation for the discussion. \n

SUMMARY:The Ohio State University College of Medicine\, Columbus—LECTURE: A Free Market Approach to Healthcare: Cash Based Medical Practices
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jules Madrigal-Dersch on cash based medical practices\nAll students\, faculty\, and practicing physicians are welcome to attend our inaugural 2016-17 BRI-OSUMC event on cash based medical practices. We welcome Jules Madrigal-Dersch\, MD and BRI board member\, to speak about her cash based Med-Peds practice in rural Texas.

The presentation Dr. Madrigal gave was exactly what we had in mind. In spite of some technical difficulties\, these issues did not really take away from the message we were trying convey. \nMost people were receptive to the ideas and especially because she made her lifestyle seem very appealing and her patient population so grateful and well served. Most of the audience had good questions and seemed to benefit greatly from seeing Dr. Madrigal’s perspective. She was receptive to answering many of their questions afterwards.

SUMMARY:University of Alabama\, Birmingham—LECTURE SCREENING: Why BRI supports free market healthcare policy\, with Dr. Jules Madrigal-Dersch
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to attend BRI-UABSOM chapter’s free lecture screening on free market healthcare policy: \nJules Madrigal-Dersch\, MD on free market healthcare policy\nWhy BRI supports a free market approach to healthcare policy\, featuring Jules Madrigal-Dersch.\nIn March 2016\, BRI board member and med-peds doctor Juliette Madrigal-Dersch\, MD\, spoke to BRI student leaders at our annual leadership conference about her joy in running an independent cash practice in rural Texas\, and why free market healthcare policies make sense. \nAt this meeting\, our hope is to educate potential members about BRI’s mission in support of free market healthcare solutions\, and to encourage BRI-UABSOM chapter involvement and membership. \nWe will provide light refreshments and snacks encouraging guests to bring their own lunch. \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: The BRI-UAB chapter screened a pre-recorded presentation delivered by Dr. Jules Madrigal-Dersch at the 2015-2016 BRI Leadership Conference held at American Enterprise Institute in March 2016. Dr. Madrigal-Dersch spoke about why she chose to deliver market-based care rather than follow the existing insurance-based care model. \nThe event opened with a welcome to the attendees from UAB BRI officers\, and quickly proceeded to the lecture screening. The lecture was part explanatory and part testimonial as to how and why Dr. Madrigal-Dersch chose to enter into the direct primary care model\, and the benefits the model provides to herself\, her family\, and her patients. \nAfter the screening\, the floor was opened up for questions. Seeing none\, Thompson Foy\, UAB-BRI president\, proceeded to inform the attendees about the next UAB BRI meeting on October 26th\, 2016\, and closed the meeting. \n“We hoped to have more attendees\, but we believe that the people who did come found the event both informative and enjoyable. Among attendees\, the message of the lecture screening was very well received.” ~Thompson Foy\, BRI-UAB chapter founder & president \n

SUMMARY:ATLAS Summit 2016 @ Freedom Fest: What About the Poor? How to Win the Healthcare Debate Without Selling Your Soul
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Beth Haynes\, BRI executive director delivered a talk at the 2016 ATLAS Summit @ Freedom Fest\, What About the Poor? How to Win the Debate Without Selling Your Soul. \nIn order to engage those who are skeptical but potentially persuadable to free market ideas\, we need to answer concerns about what happens to society’s most disadvantaged in a powerful\, truthful and compelling way. This is a major concern of young people\, who frequently have a strong desire to help others\, but who are typically economically ignorant and think with their hearts. In order to reach them we need to address their concerns without compromising on our fundamental principles. Come learn what tactics are working with students and are applicable to a much broader audience.

SUMMARY:ATLAS Summit 2016 @ Freedom Fest: Engaging Our Future Physicians
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Beth Haynes\, BRI executive director\, delivered a talk at ATLAS Summit 2016 @ Freedom Fest: Engaging Our Future Physicians. \nIt is important that we undertake the task of engaging our future physicians. What are they learning about health policy? Given the state of higher education today\, it’s no surprise that health policy instruction at medical schools is government-centric. But what is surprising is how little formal policy instruction students receive\, which presents a great opportunity to interject the voice of reason into the conversation. Benjamin Rush Institute is doing exactly that. In just the fall semester of 2016\, we reached 1300 medical student5s. Come hear how we are presenting the ideas of individual rights and limited government in a way that even liberal medical students are wiling to consider these alternatives.

SUMMARY:ATLAS Summit 2016 @ Freedom Fest: What Insurance Is and Isn't—Getting Medical Costs Under Control
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Beth Haynes\, BRI executive director\, delivers a talk at ATLAS Summit 2016 @ Freedom Fest: What Insurance Is and Isn’t—Getting Medical Costs Under Control. \nThere is much talk about how to control medical costs. Medical inflation continues to outpace general inflation. Why this is happening has much to do with the fact that what is called “health insurance” really isn’t insurance. We argue that coerced wealth distribution is immoral\, but this argument does not resonate with everyone. Being abel to also argue the economic aspects of healthcare can strengthen your ability to make the case for freedom in medical care. Come learn about the nature of insurance\, what it is and isn’t\, why current health policy is doomed to fail\, and what better alternatives exist.

SUMMARY:Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine — LECTURE: Dr. Richard Gunderman "The American Physician Who Made the Biggest Difference"
DESCRIPTION:The American Physician Who Made the Biggest Difference\nDo you think you know a physician who “made the biggest difference?” Want to know who this is? All are welcome to hear a lecture presentation by the esteemed Richard Gunderman\, MD\, PhD from Indiana University. BRI-Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine is sponsoring this event. RSVPs are appreciated to ensure sufficient refreshments for all. \nLast year\, Dr. Gunderson enthralled us with a lecture on “How Freedom Enriches Medicine and Life.” He is an engaging and enlightening speaker\, and the evening promises to be inspiring! \n  \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Seventeen students enjoyed lunch and another edifying and entertaining lecture by Dr. Gunderman. The subject of Dr. Gunderman’s talk was none other than Dr. Benjamin Rush himself! We learned about Rush’s life\, interests\, ideology\, and accomplishments. It was a great talk about the man who is the symbol of BRI. \n \nBenjamin Rush graduated from what is now Princeton by age 14. He became the first chemistry professor in the colonies and is known as the father of psychiatry\, because he wrote the first book on mental illness. He also opened the first free clinic in the US. He was one of five Founders who signed both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Dr. Rush was the inspiration behind Thomas Paine’s Common Sense. He trained Louis and Clark in some medical knowledge to prepare them for their expedition. Dr. Rush was friends with Thomas Jefferson\, John Adams\, and Benjamin Franklin. \n \nThese were just some of the things on Benjamin Rush’s long list of accolades. But in a more ideological lens\, he was a strong lover of liberty. He believed in letting people develop to their full potential without government interference. He was a huge advocate for his patients. He had radical views for his time: he was against the death penalty\, against racism\, and advocated education for women and African Americans. He was also deeply religious\, helping found the African Methodist Episcopal Church. \n“Dr. Gunderman is a great speaker and he is able to keep the audience entertained. He seems to be very interested in the Benjamin Rush Institute\, and the overall goal of informing students on topics not normally covered in medical school curriculums.” ~Trenton Schmale\, BRI-Marian president \nBenjamin Rush’s legacy is grounded in medicine\, politics\, religion\, and activism. He had a passion for everything he did\, and made the best of the time while he was alive. Dr. Gunderman finished his talk by saying we as doctors should be taking a more active role in our communities\, like Benjamin Rush. \nThere were four MS1’s in attendance today\, and I already heard back from one of them saying she was interested in becoming more involved with BRI. Over the past few weeks with Patch Adams\, Poverty Inc.\, and now Dr. Gunderman more MS1’s seem to have BRI on their radar. We had more attendees this year for Dr. Gunderman as opposed to last year.

SUMMARY:Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine — LECTURE: Dr. Timothy Law "Healthcare in the Heartland: Paid to Play" or Medical Fee for Service
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Timothy Law Lecture: “Healthcare in the Heartland: Paid to Play\,” or Medical Fee for Service\n\nDr. Timothy Law will be talking about his practice as a rural medical practitioner. He will be discussing his work with the Amish community and how he has formed a very successful rural practice built on a medical fee for service model. Dr. Law is a Assistant Professor and Medical Director for CTRU\, & SHAPe as well as a Associate Director of Rural and Urban Scholars Pathway.\n\n \nPOST-DEBATE SUMMARY: Forty students attended this event\, with 25 signing up for more information about BRI. Dr. Law discussed the benefits of directing his own practice\, especially one that is rural and that deals with the Amish population. He talked about the costs and fees associated with owning your own practice and ways to maximize patient care while also making a decent living. It was really interesting to learn about how he interacts with his patients and some of the payment forms that he has received\, which is a benefit to his more informal rural practice. He has also been able to get many of our medical students involved in this experience\, giving them hands-on clinical and treatment experience. Dr. Law is a great mentor for our school\, and we always enjoy having him speak to learn the different ways we can provide excellent patient care\, while still making a great living.
