From Nigeria to Hershey, PA: My clinical elective experience

August 15, 2017 by Chidimma Ezeilo

Going back to Nigeria, I will see everything from a different perspective. A lot needs to be changed in the health system in Nigeria, and I know that they can be modified despite the economy of the country. It needs the cooperation of every health personnel from the government to the medical student.

History of US healthcare: How we got to the healthcare we have today

July 24, 2017 by Jordan Halevy

History of US healthcare rationing

The past century is riddled with interventions wresting control away from physicians and centralizing it in the hands of the federal government and large firms. Rather than addressing policy issues as they arise, reviewing the healthcare system in historical context can reframe the discussion, revealing its foundational problems.

Protecting the Patient-Doctor Relationship—BRI Alumni: Where are they now? Kristy Hawley, MD (George Washington University)

May 30, 2017 by Kristy Hawley, MD MPH

Kristy L. Hawley, MD

My interactions with like-minded peers and experts who are working to return “joy” to the profession have given me the confidence to express my viewpoints with other physicians who may have different world views. I now have a network of physicians and fellow residents with whom I can discuss entrepreneurial or policy ideas. I truly loved getting to know the staff and BRI students across the country. I had such a wonderful experience and hope to pay it forward in the future. I urge medical students to please stay involved as residents, keep your email updated and maintain your BRI membership. As more students graduate there will be a greater role for resident mentorship as well as ways to focus on our own professional development.

Reflections after attending a health law policy conference

February 17, 2017 by Mendel Groden

Harvard health law policy

To be fair, the conference was titled “…Health Law Year in P/Review.” Given our lack of market influence in healthcare prior to the ACA, and even less of it now, a review of the past year and a preview of the current year should not involve a discussion of the actual root causes of our healthcare system’s issues. Sarcasm aside, these are issues that people must begin having serious discussions about. Rather than accepting the status quo and searching only for top down approaches to regulating healthcare, a critical analysis as to the cause of rising prices and lack of access should be undertaken, after which thoughtful policies aimed at mitigating costs could actually be implemented. We need people to have access to care, not insurance. Perhaps Abigail Moncrieff was correct in asserting that Obamacare has anchored what is acceptable as policy, and perhaps this itself is the problem.
