Julia Arnsten, MD (ELAM '13) chief of the Division of General Internal Medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Health System, wrote an opinion piece in STAT warning that a health care disparity is emerging around access to medical cannabis, as poorer people struggle to obtain the newly legalized treatment. "It's time to advocate for a new federal classification for cannabis, so insurance companies can cover it, just as they cover the costs of drugs to treat cancer, diabetes, and other diseases. At the same time, we need to consider subsidies or discounts for low-income patients and expand the number of licensed dispensaries for medical cannabis," Dr. Arnsten wrote.

Linda Phillips, RN, PhD, senior director of research and education at the Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program at the University of Arizona Center on Aging, wrote an op-ed in The Hill on institutional racism in health care, saying, "[H]igh maternal death rates are only one of many race- and ethnicity-related health disparities. Others include higher rates of chronic illness, premature death and failure to receive appropriate care for pneumonia, heart attacks, pain and preventive measures for post-operative complications." Dr. Phillips also said the only comprehensive way to deal with institutional racism in health care is to strategically diversify the health care workforce.
 
Uchenna Ikediobi, MD, assistant professor of medicine in the Section of General Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases at VA Connecticut Healthcare System and Yale School of Medicine, wrote an opinion piece in STAT urging zero tolerance toward patients' discriminatory comments and actions toward minority health care providers. "Deferring to a society still haunted by ghosts of its discriminatory past will hinder efforts to create and maintain a diverse workforce and an inclusive work environment in medicine," Dr. Ikediobi wrote.
 
Modern Healthcare explored why so few women reach leadership roles in health care, noting that despite efforts to create change in institutions, including efforts to be intentional about recruiting into leadership positions, "shifting from how things have always been done in healthcare has proven to be difficult and slow."

The Last Word

AAMC CFAS News, May 24, 2019:
Are you a woman who works in a perpetually cold office? If so, it may affect your performance and decision-making ability. In a study published in PLOS-One and covered by The Atlantic, women answered 2% more math problems correctly in a room 1 degree Celsius warmer. Men performed better in cooler spaces, but the benefit between temperatures was less pronounced. Researchers cautioned that more work is needed before battles rage over access to the thermostat.
