The DEI Shift: Recent Episodes
The DEI Shift
A podcast focusing on shifting the way we think and talk about diversity, equity, and inclusion in the medical field. The title, The DEI Shift, uses a common acronym DEI (standing for diversity, equity, and inclusion) as a play on the idea of a “day shift”, the time in the hospital when the daytime teams come in, bring fresh perspectives to the issues that arose overnight, and progress patient care forward. This podcast is aimed at: 1) bringing new perspectives and a more inclusive approach to the discussions of diversity issues in healthcare, 2) shifting us away from avoidance, fatigue, and negative connotations that have become attached to these topics, and 3) transitioning these discussions from mere classroom didactics into relevant, day-to-day, organic conversation and application.

Pick up where we left off in Part 1 (Season 4, Episode 3) by applying the pediatric-to-adult transitions strategies we learned in that episode to a specific patient population: those with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD), like Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Transitions can be one of the most trying and health-destabilizing things a young person and their caregivers experience. In this episode, we learn from the experience and wisdom of Dr. Susan Hingle and Dr. Mai Pham, who have not only navigated this process with their patients, but with their own children as well. Their personal experiences have informed and fueled their wonderful professional work in this space as they demonstrate how we can provide and advocate for equitable care for this patient population.
Learning Objectives:1. Define Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD), and the specific example of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Describe how these are diagnosed.
2. Describe key issues that healthcare teams should keep in mind for patients with IDD, including ASD, as they transition from childhood to adolescence to adulthood.
a. In the clinic
b. In the ER/hospital
3. Give examples of advocacy efforts for healthcare for members of this community.
4. Strategize how one can create inclusive healthcare environments, spaces, and culture for people with IDD, including ASD.

Join us for Part 2 of the powerful discussion we started at the end of last season (Season 4, Episode 6), with our 2 experts on caring for people experiencing houselessness, James O’Connell, MD, MACP (Boston Healthcare for the Homeless) and Rachel Solotaroff, MD, FACP (Central City Concern- Portland, Oregon).
From the HIV epidemic to the rise of multi-drug resistant TB and the opioid crisis, those caring for people experiencing houselessness and housing insecurity saw the rise of each of these epidemics in their patient populations long before the rest of us. The devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was particularly harsh for those in shelters or unhoused. Some say that caring for those experiencing houselessness reveals the fractures in our healthcare system earlier and more clearly than healthcare in other settings. In our discussion, Drs. O’Connell and Solotaroff describe some of the obstacles faced by these patients and their healthcare providers in obtaining/delivering healthcare, and some of the opportunities to learn from and address these challenges.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify challenges and lessons for both clinical teams and people experiencing houselessness in providing and accessing healthcare.
- Describe different models of housing support and healthcare delivery for which clinicians can advocate in order to support those experiencing and emerging out of houselessness, and to ultimately reach the goal of ending houselessness.
- Discuss some of the challenges facing houseless individuals who are seriously ill and/or at end-of-life, and facing those who are providing their end-of-life healthcare.

As the COVID-19 pandemic abates, migration across the globe has increased. Health care professionals are likely to encounter immigrant populations who have unique needs. Join us in learning with Dr. Lorena Bonilla (Internal Medicine Hospitalist and Assistant Professor at Florida University/Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine) about factors that influence the health care of immigrants, how to approach patients with cultural sensitivity, and ways physicians can incorporate advocacy into their practice to help support migrants.
Definition of Terms:
In this podcast, we use the terms migrants, immigrants, refugees and asylum. Here we wanted to define these terms. A migrant is an individual who migrates from one location to another usually seeking employment or education. An immigrant is an individual who seeks to live in another country permanently. A refugee is an individual who is forced to flee their home because of violence or persecution. Additionally, someone who applies for asylum is seeking protection from dangers in their home country and is awaiting their claim for refugee status to be legally determined. For further reference, rescue.org has an article outlining these terms. https://www.rescue.org/article/migrants-asylum-seekers-refugees-and-immigrants-whats-difference.
Learning objectives:
- Identify key social determinants of health that affect immigrant populations.
- Recognize factors that influence the health care of migrants and refugees.
- Summarize a situation from your own clinical experience in which understanding the culture of a patient enhanced your ability to care for them. Identify how you can be consistent in ensuring that you consider the role that culture plays in the lives of your patients.

Dr. Ricardo Correa, an endocrinology physician in ACP Arizona chapter, Chair-Elect Designee of the ACP Council of Early Career Physicians, and Associate Editor of SGIM Forum, and Dr. Priya Radhakrishnan, Chief Academic Officer/Vice President of Health Equity at HonorHealth, governor of ACP Arizona , and Governor-Elect Designee of the ACP Board of Governors, reflect on the topic of a previous episode of The DEI Shift: the minority tax (Season 2, Episode 1) and its relevance for generalist physicians and trainees.
Key messages:
- The gratitude tax is a feeling of obligation that underrepresented minorities in medicine (URMM) faculty have to an academic institution and to future generations of URMMs for being given the opportunity to be a physician.
- Academic leaders can provide appropriate incentives for academic faculty to participate in internal (e.g., committee) service to mitigate the minority tax and gratitude tax.
- Scholarly work can take a variety of forms and can be recognized to give voice to URMMs.
- Affinity groups can offer an opportunity to promote advocacy, advancement, and education towards diversifying the internal medicine pipeline.

Dr. Elisa Choi, ACP MA governor and Chair-Elect of the ACP Board of Governors, and Dr. Carole Vincent, general internal medicine specialist and founding member of the ACP MA Chapter JEDI Committee, reflect on a previous episode of The DEI Shift, Anti-racism in Healthcare Education (Season 2, Episode 3). In the previous episode, The DEI Shift Senior Producers, Dr. Maggie Kozman and Dr. DJ Gaines, interviewed Dr. Ryan Mire, ACP President-Elect, about what anti-racism means in healthcare education and how to bring about needed change in our learning and work environments.
Key messages:
- Being antiracist is being proactive against racism and racist ideas; in contrast, being non-racist is a passive stance.
- Beware of biological anchoring of medical concepts that lack an appropriate evidence base: race is a social construct, not a biological construct.
- Being antiracist as a general internal medicine specialist means to listen to the patient’s story without judgment or preconceived ideas or biases.
- Medical students and learners at all stages of general internal medicine specialty careers can be empowered and engaged in making change towards antiracism in medicine and healthcare education.

Dr. Erynn Beeson, an Internal Medicine resident at Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) and a member of the Oregon chapter of ACP, and Dr. Ximena Levander, an assistant professor at OHSU and Addiction Medicine specialist, reflect on important topics from previous episodes of The DEI Shift, Health Policy and Advocacy (Season 3, Episode 7) and The Breadth of Addiction Medicine (Season 3, Episode 5).
Key messages:
- Advocacy as a physician helps to alleviate daily stress or burnout by channeling frustration with the healthcare system into lasting change.
- Access to buprenorphine via telemedicine, houselessness, and social determinants of health are among many key policy issues relevant for the care of patients with addiction and substance use disorders.
- Engagement in professional organizations can provide physicians resources and updates on current health policies at the local, state, and national level.
- Learning scripts for advocacy, similar to learning scripts for patient communications, are small learnings that physicians and trainees can bring to their advocacy work.
- Connecting with community organizations can be an easy way to engage in local advocacy: as a physician, start by asking, “How can I help?”

Dr. Candace Sprott, a primary care general internal medicine physician in Southern California Region III Chapter of ACP, and Dr. Jasmine Smith, an assistant professor and hospitalist in Internal Medicine-Pediatrics at the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, reflect on a previous episode of The DEI Shift: the hidden curriculum (Season 1, Episode 9) and its relevance for generalist physicians and trainees. Previously, Co-hosts, Dr. Brittäne Parker and Dr. Quentin Youmans, talked with Dr. Smith about the hidden curriculum.
Key messages:
- With the hidden curriculum, one language is used to discuss medicine, diseases, and research, and another is used to demonstrate your competence as a clinician. Nonverbal cues can be an important part of the latter, along with verbal cues.
- Acknowledging the positive aspects of the hidden curriculum, like empathy and reflection, and intentionally spreading these through mentorship can be educational, although these are not yet universally done.
- For trainees, be observant, ask questions, identify examples of practice and communication styles that are desirable for your own practice.
- For mentors, faculty, and educators, give trainees timely and helpful feedback to adjust behaviors if needed.

Clinicians are often referred to as heroes for the long hours we work and the life saving work that we do. However, this idea of the "invincible" doctor often does a disservice to our profession and patients by creating the idea that disease and illness are only experienced by our patients. Our guests, Dr. Justin Bullock and Dr. Mansi Sheth, share their stories of going through medical training with a chronic illness and discuss the limitations of our medical system in doing so.
Trigger warning: This episode discusses suicide and suicidal ideation.
Learning Objectives:
- Define physical and mental disability as outlined by the Americans with Disabilities Act.
- List two criteria the ACGME requires residency programs to fulfill for residents with disabilities.
- Identify the most common types of clinical and didactic accommodations provided by institutions for physicians in training.

Episode Description: Religious and spiritual diversity is not always welcomed, or even tolerated, in healthcare. In our talk with Chaplain Ermanno Willis, we learn how vital it is to include a patient's spiritual beliefs into their care, and how to go about doing this using validated tools to collect a patient's Spiritual History, just like their Social or Sexual History. We also discuss the importance of creating a learning/work environment that allows for a diversity of belief systems among healthcare providers themselves.
Learning Objectives:1. Summarize the evidence showing that many more patients want their spiritual lives addressed by their healthcare providers than are currently being addressed.
2. Describe evidence-based examples of the positive impacts of religion and spirituality on health.
3. Identify the steps of one of the validated tools for collecting a patient’s Spiritual History (just like the Social and Sexual History).
4. Assess how implicit biases contribute to how (un)welcoming learning and work environments are toward differing religious/spiritual belief systems.
