SUMMARY:Environmental Health Risk: Analysis and Applications
DESCRIPTION:A Risk Analysis Course \nRisk analysis is a scientific tool designed to help us determine the existence and extent of threats to human health\, provide information about how best to manage these risks\, and improve our ability to communicate with the public about the proper response to these hazards. \nThis continuing education course explores the principles of risk assessment\, risk management\, and risk communication\, ensuring you can identify\, explain\, and make decisions about risks to public health. You will learn how risk analysis is done\, how it is interpreted\, and how it influences regulatory decision-making. This program will provide you with the knowledge and skills to analyze how environmental hazards impact human health. \nThis program uses case studies\, lectures\, and small-group work to explore such topics as hazard identification\, toxicology and epidemiology in risk analysis\, risk perception\, risk communication\, life-cycle assessment\, and the interplay of risk management and the law. You will gain the skills needed to: \n\nPerform a broader\, nuanced risk assessment\nImprove the effectiveness of current risk assessment practices\nApply these concepts to diverse risk analysis and management issues\n\nDuring this executive education program\, you will explore the legal and policy framework which will inform the direction of risk analysis in upcoming years\, gain the skills needed to perform a quantitative risk assessment\, discuss key factors influencing the effectiveness of risk assessment and management\, and apply these concepts in local\, state\, federal\, or international settings. After completing the course\, you will be able to determine whether hazards pose an unacceptable risk to public health\, communicate effectively about health risks\, and utilize risk analysis to improve decision-making. \nWhat is Risk Analysis? \nRisk analysis involves risk assessment (identifying and characterizing hazards to public health)\, risk management (evaluating how to protect public health)\, and risk communication (understanding and explaining health risks). \nRisk analysis is used to protect the environment and public health by organizing and communicating knowledge about health risks within a framework useful for decision making. This analysis is used to inform regulatory policy and address concerns associated with health hazards in the environment. \nWhy is Risk Analysis Important? \nThe public is increasingly concerned about how their health is impacted by environmental hazards such as chemicals\, pollution\, and food-borne disease. This increased awareness has repercussions for governments\, health organizations\, and private companies\, all of which have a stake in protecting public health. Risk analysis is a useful framework for managing health risks. \nUnderstanding the nature of risks\, how people perceive threats to their health\, and how risk information is communicated and understood is imperative to ensuring the proper management of environmental health risks. \nPrivate corporations need to be able to understand and address the impact of their operations and products on consumers to ensure they are not harming public health. Through the effective use of risk assessment methodologies\, your organization can reduce the costs associated with regulatory non-compliance\, avoid legal issues stemming from consumer liability and safety problems\, and build organizational trust through their proactive management of potentially hazardous scenarios. \nRisk analysis skills are equally important to public health agencies\, as they must be able to review risk assessments conducted by industry or other agencies\, interpret their findings\, and prioritize governmental response to public health hazards. \nDevelop an Unmatched Network of Public Health Leaders \nProgram participants come from diverse backgrounds\, functions\, and organizations from around the world\, tied together by their commitment to understanding how to improve public health. By bringing together the various stakeholders involved in risk analysis and management\, this course offers a truly rich experience. This program offers a small\, personal setting where you will learn as much from your fellow continuing education participants as from program faculty as you exchange valuable insights and best practices. With over 30% of alumni coming from outside the United States and representing more than 30 different countries\, this is a truly global course. You will leave Harvard having developed a global network of leading peers you can rely on for guidance as you return home and implement what you learned. \nCourse Website

SUMMARY:Artificial Intelligence and Disability/Dependency: Equity\, Access\, and Interdependence
DESCRIPTION:Online Viewing\nIn light of the rapidly developing COVID-19 outbreaks\, Harvard University has restricted on-campus events. As a result\, we will not be allowing in-person attendance at this event. Instead\, the event will be available for viewing online. To ensure that you will receive access to the livestream and be kept up to date on any changes to the event\, register now. We will send out a link to the livestream of the event to all registrants three days before the conference. \nHosting events\, even ones that are largely virtual\, is a constantly moving target these days and we appreciate your patience and flexibility as we fine tune our approach. In the meantime\, we hope you all stay well. \nDescription\nThis event will highlight the challenges and opportunities in harnessing artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to serve the needs of individuals with disabilities and dependencies. AI can improve the lives of people with disabilities\, such as smart devices supporting people with physical disabilities or sight loss.  On the other hand\, AI outputs can also reflect discriminatory biases present in the underlying data used to develop the algorithms. While this “garbage in\, garbage out” principle is well documented in respect to AI and gender or race\, it is understudied in respect to disability or dependencies. \nInterdisciplinary panels of legal scholars\, ethicists\, AI developers\, medical and service providers\, and advocates with disabilities/ dependencies will explore best practices and guidelines for stakeholders\, guided by ethical principles\, legal considerations\, and the needs of people with disabilities/ dependencies. Participants will seek to articulate clear criteria for developers and medical providers looking to harness the potential of AI to serve individuals with disabilities/ dependencies\, including those whose disabilities/ dependencies are the result of aging\, injury\, or disease\, and the caregivers — including both professionals and unpaid friends and families — who support some of these individuals. \nAgenda\n1:00 – 2:00pm\, Panel 1: AI and Disability\n\nBetsy Beaumon\, CEO\, Benetech\nNoll Campbell\, Research Scientist\, Indiana University Center for Aging Research at Regenstrief Institute and Assistant Professor\, Department of Pharmacy Practice\, Purdue University College of Pharmacy\nJennifer Hawkins\, Associate Research Professor\, Department of Philosophy\, Duke University\nModerator: Michael Ashley Stein\, Executive Director\, Harvard Law School Project on Disability and Visiting Professor\, Harvard Law School\n\n2:00 – 3:00pm\, Keynote\n\nGeralyn Miller\, Director of Health Strategy\, Microsoft AI for Good Research Lab\n\n3:00 – 3:45pm\, Panel 2: AI and Dependency\n\nSharona Hoffman\, Edgar A. Hahn Professor of Law\, School of Law\, Co-Director\, The Law-Medicine Center\, School of Law\, and Professor\, Department of Bioethics\, School of Medicine\, Case Western Reserve University\nAri Ne’eman\, PhD Student in Health Policy\, Harvard University\, and founder\, Autistic Self Advocacy Network\nRanak Trivedi\, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavior Sciences\, Stanford University\nModerator: Sonoo Thadaney\, Executive Director\, Stanford Presence and Executive Director\, Program in Bedside Medicine\n\nJoin us online!\nThis event is free and can be viewed online by the public\, but registration is required. Register now!

AI can improve the lives of people with disabilities\, such as smart devices supporting people with physical disabilities or sight loss.  On the other hand\, AI outputs can also reflect discriminatory biases present in the underlying data used to develop the algorithms. While this “garbage in\, garbage out” principle is well documented in respect to AI and gender or race\, it is understudied in respect to disability or dependencies. \nInterdisciplinary panels of legal scholars\, ethicists\, AI developers\, medical and service providers\, and advocates with disabilities/ dependencies will explore best practices and guidelines for stakeholders\, guided by ethical principles\, legal considerations\, and the needs of people with disabilities/ dependencies. Participants will seek to articulate clear criteria for developers and medical providers looking to harness the potential of AI to serve individuals with disabilities/ dependencies\, including those whose disabilities/ dependencies are the result of aging\, injury\, or disease\, and the caregivers — including both professionals and unpaid friends and families — who support some of these individuals. \nAgenda\n1:00 – 2:00pm\, Panel 1: AI and Disability\n\nBetsy Beaumon\, CEO\, Benetech\nNoll Campbell\, Research Scientist\, Indiana University Center for Aging Research at Regenstrief Institute and Assistant Professor\, Department of Pharmacy Practice\, Purdue University College of Pharmacy\nJennifer Hawkins\, Associate Research Professor\, Department of Philosophy\, Duke University\nModerator: Michael Ashley Stein\, Executive Director\, Harvard Law School Project on Disability and Visiting Professor\, Harvard Law School\n\n2:00 – 3:00pm\, Keynote\n\nGeralyn Miller\, Director of Health Strategy\, Microsoft AI for Good Research Lab\n\n3:00 – 3:45pm\, Panel 2: AI and Dependency\n\nSharona Hoffman\, Edgar A.

SUMMARY:Women on Boards Getting On and Adding Value
DESCRIPTION:Program Overview \nProviding Women Executives with Direction\, Tools\, and Approaches for Attaining a Seat on Health Care and Related Industry Boards \nGender disparity on boards of directors is well recognized and documented\, whether in the for-profit\, non-profit\, or government sectors. In the United States\, fewer than 20% of corporate board directors are women. Nearly 80% of venture capital firms have never had a woman represent them on the board of one of their portfolio companies. Yet studies show that companies with women on their boards make decisions that better protect company value and performance. \nProfoundly accomplished and qualified women have an interest in attaining positions on boards of directors and then assuming leadership roles on these boards\, but may be unclear how to successfully secure these appointments. Women on Boards: Getting on and Adding Value will put you on a productive path towards attaining a governance position in health care by focusing on the strategies and competencies that will help you succeed at being a first-rate board member\, preparing you for the challenges you will face\, and providing direction\, tools\, and approaches for attaining a board seat. \nThis is a Must-attend Program for Women Seeking Board Positions \nThis program will feature faculty who are highly successful women board members and other experts in the field. You will join other high-performing\, accomplished\, and ambitious women who have already achieved much in their careers and who desire to take their talent\, leadership\, and executive skills to the next level by serving on boards in health care and related industries. As a participant\, you will also have the opportunity to develop a personalized action plan to seek and obtain a board directorship. \nThis highly interactive course will use case studies and experiential sessions to prepare you for directorship and start you on the path to being a sought-after candidate. You will expand your ability to evaluate board opportunities based on your own preferences and cultural fit\, learn to communicate effectively in the language of boards\, and gain critical knowledge and skills you will need to be effective. \nWomen on Boards of Directors \nOrganizations with women in leadership positions perform better than those that don’t. They surpass others in social responsiveness\, sustainability\, and financial performance. Recent evidence also indicates that companies with female board members are more successful than those without women\, a key concern for organizational competitiveness.1 As a participant in this program\, you will: \n\nLearn the essential legal\, regulatory\, and operating knowledge you will need to serve on boards of directors\nDevelop a deep understanding of your roles and responsibilities as an effective board member\nConnect with\, and learn from\, women who have achieved success as board members\nDevelop an individual action plan to seek and secure a position on a board\n\nCourse WebsiteHarvard T.H.

SUMMARY:The International Leadership Development Program for Physicians
DESCRIPTION:Develop the knowledge and skills you need to effectively lead your health care organization. \nPhysicians are often selected for senior leadership positions based on clinical expertise. No matter the setting\, these expanded roles require knowledge of critical management skills and leadership practices\, which are not typically part of physician training. \nThis executive education program brings together a peer group of physician leaders from a variety of health care settings around the world who face similar challenges. Harvard experts and industry leaders provide focused leadership and management training\, ensuring participants are prepared to direct change and drive value within their organizations and communities. \nDuring this highly interactive course\, participants will engage with each other and expert faculty in small groups\, experiential activities\, and full-class discussions\, allowing for an open exchange of ideas to address the challenges inherent in creating a healthy population\, quality health care\, and maintaining cost effectiveness. \nAs a participant\, you will: \n\nDevelop a deeper awareness of your own leadership strengths and development opportunities\nEnhance your strategy\, negotiation\, conflict management\, peer and team management and other key leadership skills\nExpand your understanding of responsibilities and options as a manager of a  clinical department\, service\, or program and as a senior institutional leader\nLearn strategies and tactics to lower costs and improve operations while increasing quality and safety\nAdvance knowledge and skills in the art and science of improvement\, allowing each participant the opportunity to immediately apply the skills they learn to a selected improvement project during the program\nVisit and engage with change agents in high performing health care delivery organizations in the greater Boston area\nAll while innovating and developing new and better ways of delivering care to meet the needs of patients and employees\n\nYou will also have the opportunity to learn from the Harvard case-based style of learning\, which provides a deep understanding of how leadership concepts apply to everyday situations in settings around the world. \nImprove Health Care\, Experience\, and Value \nAs part of the program\, each participant will identify and develop a plan for an improvement project connected to her or his organization’s business plan. Each participant will identify a key area of change prior to the start of the program\, submit the idea to faculty for review\, and actively work on the project during the program and beyond. \nThe improvement project may be in any one of three categories: \n\nImproving quality of care and services\nReducing costs while maintaining or improving quality\nExpanding patient or customer satisfaction with the development of new services or innovative ways of providing existing services\n\nThroughout the program you will work with faculty and participant colleagues to refine and further develop your project\, so that you can implement the project when you return home. Whether you work at a public health delivery site\, a government agency\, or another setting\, this collaboration will enable you to move forward with an actionable plan to improve performance. \nThe design of this program allows participants to achieve results by immediately applying the skills they learn to everyday work experiences. This combination of theory applied to daily work makes the program unique and provides a foundation for making improvements long after the program is completed. \nHarvard faculty in the program will assist you before and during the program\, guiding you through the steps required for successful change. You will work with Harvard faculty and your peers to advance your implementation goals by applying learning from the classroom in the context of your home environment. \nLearn from Experts in the Field \nThis applied program is designed and led by Harvard Chan School faculty who are recognized experts in improving health care in diverse settings around the world. The faculty will work with you on how learnings are applicable and tailorable to your specific health care setting. You will leave this program with the tools and strategies to be a more effective manager and leader and to make a greater impact on executing successful change when you return home. Topics explored during this program include: \n\nEvidence-based decision making\nFinancial analysis and cost control\nGenerating and sustaining innovation\nLeadership\nCreating and managing change\nNegotiation\nTeam building and performance\nOrganizational strategy\nPatient safety and engagement\nQuality improvement methods and tools\n\nAs a participant\, you will visit a high performing health care delivery organization that serves a diverse population in the Greater Boston area. Through this visit\, you will meet with successful innovators to experience how highly effective leadership can improve care\, health\, and value. This is an unparalleled opportunity to discuss the issues you face as a health care leader with colleagues and experts who are meeting these challenges. \nCourse WebsiteHarvard T.H.

SUMMARY:Grand Rounds: Disentangling the Links between Emotional Stress and Cardiovascular Disease
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Ahmed Tawakol\, MD\nCo-Director\, Cardiovascular Imaging Research Center\, Massachusetts General Hospital \nDr Tawakol graduated from Stanford Medical School and did his Medical Residency and Cardiovascular Diseases Fellowship at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. He subsequently completed training in Nuclear Cardiology at Massachusetts General Hospital\, after which he joined the Cardiology Division staff. His clinical focus is in nuclear cardiology and general cardiology\, with a special focus on the identification of patients at highest risk for atherothrombotic event. \nDr Tawakol’s research interest is in imaging of atherosclerosis. His work has focused on developing novel diagnostic approaches and novel treatment strategies for atherosclerosis. To that end\, Dr Tawakol has developed and validated molecular methods to characterize atherosclerotic plaques\, and has made seminal observations validating the use of FDG-PET imaging for the measurement of atherosclerotic plaque inflammation. Currently\, he is leading several multi-center trials to evaluate interventions targeting plaque inflammation and is evaluating the potential clinical role of vascular PET imaging for improving the identification of patients at highest risk for atherothrombotic events. \nEvent Details\nDate/Time: Tuesday\,  April 7 | 8:00am – 9:00am (followed by coffee hour\, 9:00am – 10:00am)\nVenue: Bornstein Family Amphitheater\, Brigham and Women’s Hospital\, 45 Francis St. Boston\, MA\nCost: Free.
