  • Expression in the Teaching and Practice of Medicine
    Too often the conversation about expression in higher education centers on the social sciences, humanities and the law, which is why this month we are speaking with Dr. Catherine Lucey, executive vice chancellor and provost at University of California San Francisco (UCSF). We discuss the history of advocacy and community engagement at UCSF and how she thinks about current speech challenges.Episode Resources: UCSF Med School Differences Matter: https://medschool.ucsf.edu/differences-matter UCSF Office of Diversity and Outreach: https://diversity.ucsf.edu/UCSF Institutionalizing Rest in Response to Racial and Sociopolitical Trauma: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38847650/NY Times: "In San Francisco, Doctors Feud Over ‘Do No Harm’ When It Comes to War Protests:" https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/24/us/israel-hamas-war-sf-doctors.html
