Discussion Series: The Medical Profession Through the Lens of Human Flourishing

Participate in a national conversation where healthcare professionals can boldly ask fundamental questions about the profession of medicine, discuss its role in advancing human flourishing and consider how to address factors at the individual, community or societal level that can pose barriers to flourishing.

This series is presented by the Kern National Network for Caring & Character in Medicine through an investment from the Kern Family Trust and Kern Family Foundation.

Civic Responsibility: Healthcare and Democracy

Online | Tuesday, October 26 | 4-5 PM CT

While factors outside practice do significantly affect health outcomes, knowing what role, if any, to play in civic life and policy issues can be challenging for healthcare learners and professionals. To what extent should those in healthcare get involved—and how can they balance personal, professional and organizational values?

In this discussion, moderated by Gregg Margolis, PhD, of the National Academy of Medicine, Drs. Abdul El-Sayed and Jasmine Zapata will share experiences, reflections and their responses to audience questions on navigating civic responsibility.

Learning Objectives

Discuss roles healthcare learners and professionals can/should have in U.S. civic life as it relates to healthcare.
Consider whether health professionals should play a role in protecting rights beyond healthcare for those who reside in the U.S.
Explore ways in which concepts of civic character and engagement apply to healthcare learners and professionals.
