The Bioethics Interest Group (BIG) is a student-run interest group, serving as a resource for medical students, and students across Yale University, who are interested in the ethical challenges faced by patients and by those who work in healthcare and medical research. In collaboration with the Program for Biomedical Ethics, we host lectures, discussions, and small group seminars with experts from across the country. Members of BIG actively support each other in connecting with potential mentors, as well as finding ways to engage in research and clinical ethics. Central to BIG’s mission is encouraging respectful disagreement among students, learning from the historical failures of bioethics, and working towards a future more ethical than the one we inherited. We welcome any suggestions or questions regarding the bioethics scholarship and educational opportunities here at Yale.

The Yale School of Medicine has a mission to "Educate and inspire scholars and future leaders who will advance the practice of medicine and the biomedical sciences." These scholars pursuing advances in the biomedical sciences are spread across departments at the School of Medicine, the School of Arts and Sciences, and Yale-New Haven Hospital. They span a range of professional levels, including medical and graduate students, medical residents and post-docs, early-career investigators, and tenured professors. There are few mechanisms to unite this community of scholars and to bridge the horizontal boundaries of discipline and the vertical boundaries of professional hierarchy. Emerging Biomedical Scholars at Yale aims to provide a unique, unifying service to this broad community. Its mission is to:

1) Serve as a hub to foster professional and social interactions across departments and stages of professional development, in order to facilitate scientific synergies and exploration and professional mentorship.

2) Serve as a central clearinghouse of useful information and resources for a wide range of biomedical scientists, including: core facilities and technical expertise, training in skills such as grant and fellowship writing, other opportunities for education and career development, and means to help promote sustainable work/life balance.

For a very long time, surgery was not included in the discussion of how healthcare could be improved worldwide, especially in the most remote corners of the earth. Only recently has surgery been brought to the table, being called the "forgotten step-child" of global health by Paul Farmer and many others. At the very core, global surgery is "a field that aims to improve health and health equity for all who are affected by surgical conditions or have a need for surgical care, with a particular focus on underserved populations in countries of all income levels, as well as populations in crisis, such as those experiencing conflict, displacement, and disaster." Important to this effort is all aspects of surgery, including anesthesia, OB/Gyn, and nursing.

Currently, 5 billion people around the world do not have adequate access to basic surgical care. Worse yet, the disparity in surgical care is stark, with the poorest 30% of the world receives only 3-6% of operations, whereas the richest 30% receives almost 75%. 17 million people die and 77 million DALYS are lost each year because of this, greater than HIV/AIDS, malaria, and TB combined. Our global economy could lose 21 trillion dollars between 2015 and 2030, with 12.3 trillion lost by low- and middle-income countries, so the lack of surgical care worldwide is also a significant detriment to the progress of humanity. 2.2 million more surgeons, anesthetists, and OB/Gyns (SAOs) and an investment of $350 billion dollars is needed to prevent this from happening, with a goal to raise the operative volume of countries to 5,000 per 100,000 population, meaning an increase of 143 million more surgical procedures per year. It can be easy to get lost in the numbers, but ultimately, health is a human right, and no one should have to live with a condition that would have been treated had they been born somewhere else.

So the bigger question becomes how we address this need for surgical care. In the past, this has almost exclusively involved efforts such as week-long surgical missions and the provision of money/resources in order to acutely work on the problem. However, the field has evolved with the creation of the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery, which called for a more in-depth analysis. Their major report from spring 2015 outlined an approach through investigation, innovation, and implementation, pointing out that research, technology, and capacity-building efforts were necessary to advance the field. In addition, they did a thorough economic analysis which showed that upscaling the number of surgeons and operations alone will not work - an economic approach that helps decrease catastrophic health expenditure for patients and their families is necessary. As the Lancet Commission encompasses almost 110 different countries, efforts have now been set on working at the highest level - with governments, health ministers, and financial officers - to enact changes in policy and infrastructure for whole countries to improve people's access to surgical care.

Ultimately, whether you are interested in surgery/anesthesia/OBGyn, global/public health, economics/finance, policy, technology/engineering, education/empowerment, statistics/research, or any combination of these, you have a very significant contribution to make to this growing field. And no matter how young or old you are, no matter how little or how much you can contribute, your involvement in global surgery is incredibly necessary and valuable.

The goal of the Preventative Medicine Interest Group is to make members more . familiar with foundational aspects of exercise physiology, biopsychosocial aspects of exercise in communities, and the implementation of exercise as a treatment in medical care. Through lectures and workshops, we hope to explore when, how, and why to recommend and help people begin and maintain lifestyle changes related to physical activity. So when someone comes to you wanting to reduce their blood pressure or improve their insulin sensitivity--and they want to do more than just take medications--you can confidently help them explore a variety of evidence-based options. We plan to discuss research on physical activity, aerobic exercise, and anaerobic exercise and how they affect many of the most common health maladies we're likely to encounter as healthcare providers. We also plan to lead hands-on workshops in the Harkness gym so that you can learn how to implement the research. We don't intend to train you to become personal trainers--doing so is beyond the purview of this endeavor--though we hope you'll be familiar enough with these ideas and methods so that you can make confident suggestions to patients. Of course, we also value your feedback, so if there's anything you'd like us to address, then please let us know and we can try to do so.

This is a group dedicated to teaching and practicing both physical exam skills and bedside procedures. Whether students are early or late in their training, it is a great way to solidify or refresh skills. This would be especially useful to anyone thinking of practicing in a low resource setting without access to imaging or subspecialties. We will have attendings/residents from various specialties (mostly EM) lead sessions and, depending on what’s being taught, students can then practice on standardized patients or student volunteers. Physical exam skills can be practiced in the Cohen Auditorium or other large meeting space.

Conversely, procedures are best taught in a small group setting, so for this, a group of 3-4 students will be pulled aside and trained while others go through the physical exam lesson. A different set of students of student will be pulled aside during the next session, and so on until the majority of students who want to learn the procedure are able to do so.
