Stony Brook—LECTURE: What Is and Isn’t Insurance, and Why It Matters to Controlling Healthcare Costs

Stony Brook School of Medicine, Health Sciences Tower, Lecture Hall 5 100 Nicolls Rd, Stony Brook, NY, United States

All are welcome to attend this lunch lecture. Food will be provided to those who RSVP within 48 hours of the event.

Think you know what insurance is? Do you know how it relates to healthcare costs? Come find out what you may not know!

BRI Haynes Beth Executive DirectorDr. 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."

POST-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."

"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

Icahn School of Medicine @ Mt. Sinai—LECTURE: Physician Burnout and the Physician-Patient Relationship, Beth Haynes, MD

Icahn School of Medicine, Annenberg Bldg. 12th floor 1468 Madison Ave, New York, NY, United States

All are welcome to attend this lunch lecture. Food will be provided to those who RSVP within 48 hours of the event.

Physician burnout and physician suicide are epidemic. In this lecture we will look at various contributing factors and what can be done.

BRI Haynes Beth Executive DirectorDr. 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.

POST-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.

Beth 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.

Notably, 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.
