"While Alperin characterizes the shift in support among HCPs as gradual, he points to the arrival of the Apple Watch - the most recent model adds a feature that measures the saturation of oxygen in the user's blood - as "the biggest point of inflection." He notes that he has confirmed the accuracy of the watch's readings against EKGs performed in his office. And while that firsthand experience may be anecdotal, he believes it offers "one more piece of validation.""

"How do doctors, nurses, and other caring professionals keep their hearts soft when there are forces that make it hard to stay that way? With her radically compassionate approach to medicine, Dr. Victoria Sweet calls us to slow down in a world that loves quick fixes. In today's conversation, Kate and Victoria give us more language about what helps us all stay connected to the people we serve."

"What is Slow Medicine? In our fast-paced world, we often look for quick-fix solutions to our health challenges, not realizing that these "solutions" in fact may contribute to our problems. Most health challenges are the result of an imbalance in our bodies and lives, and most quick-fix solutions actually exacerbate these imbalances. If, instead, we take a Slow Medicine approach - identifying the root cause of our health challenges, then creating a thoughtful, step-by-step, and long-term response to it - we effectively bring ourselves back into balance. In doing so, we not only can resolve our primary complaints, but we also can benefit elsewhere in our lives, often in unexpected ways."

Big player --- will it disrupt the market?

"Necessary rethinks and ambitious yet achievable solutions for redesigning systems to work for all people, not just some"

"39 health systems in 45 states and Washington, DC have committed to addressing racism and the public health disparities caused by racism."

"The current debate over intersectionality is really three debates: one based on what academics like Crenshaw actually mean by the term, one based on how activists seeking to eliminate disparities between groups have interpreted the term, and a third on how some conservatives are responding to its use by those activists."

Kimberle Crenshaw

"Now more than ever, it's important to look boldly at the reality of race and gender bias -- and understand how the two can combine to create even more harm. Kimberlé Crenshaw uses the term "intersectionality" to describe this phenomenon; as she says, if you're standing in the path of multiple forms of exclusion, you're likely to get hit by both. In this moving talk, she calls on us to bear witness to this reality and speak up for victims of prejudice."

"Why This Area of the Body is the #1 Predictor for Increased Musculoskeletal Disorders and What To Do About It Description Who: Anyone interested in learning about how to take control over your own health OR help employees take control over their health What: 20 Minute Training from Movement Rx with 10 minutes for Q&A When: Thursday, 9/24 at 11:00am PST Where: Webinar Training"

This time is impossible for us, but I've registered and will get a video. I'll let you know if it's worth watching. Still a very clever angle for building a zoom telemed program.

"I hear the term synchronous learning in education a lot to refer to Zoom calls where the teacher is on with a class of students and they're learning live. But synchronous might not be so synchronous after all?"

Entertaining video. Terrific list of resources in the comments area.

It draws from ideas and resources developed mostly by Black, Brown and People of Color, and has been edited by Black, Brown, and People of Color.  I recognize that categorizing actions under the labels of Actor, Ally, and Accomplice is an oversimplification, but hopefully this chart challenges all of us White folks to go outside of our comfort zones, take some bigger risks, and make some more significant sacrifices because this is what we've been asked to do by those most impacted by racism, colonialism, patriarchy, white supremacy, xenophobia, and hyper-capitalism. I believe that for real change to occur, we must confront and challenge all people, policies, systems, etc., that maintain privileges and power for White people."
