#PTBGIM Week

Health Advocacy and Policy 
Featuring #PTBGIM and ACP Oregon Chapter
LISTEN HERE
Dr. Erynn Beeson, an Internal Medicine resident at Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) and a member of the Oregon chapter of ACP, and Dr. Ximena Levander, an assistant professor at OHSU and Addiction Medicine specialist, reflect on important topics from previous episodes of The DEI Shift, Health Policy and Advocacy (Season 3, Episode 7) and The Breadth of Addiction Medicine (Season 3, Episode 5). In the previous episodes, The DEI Shift Producers and Co-hosts, Dr. Elisa Choi and medical student Branden Barger, spoke with Dr. Zoe Tseng and Dr. Ankita Sagar, ACP early career physician leaders in Massachusetts and New York, respectively, on health advocacy. Additionally, Producers and Co-hosts, Dr. Marianne Parshley and Dr. Brittäne Parker, interviewed Dr. Chwen-Yuen Angie Chen, associate professor, internist-addiction specialist, and ACP California Northern chapter governor, about addiction medicine.

Dr. Levander’s research focuses on how to improve care for those with substance use disorder. She is a member of the Oregon Chapter of ACP and is an ACP fellow. She is co-chair of the Oregon Chapter Council of Early Career Physicians Committee and is a member of the Oregon Chapter Health and Public Policy Committee.

Key Messages
​

  • Advocacy as a physician helps to alleviate daily stress or burnout by channeling frustration with the healthcare system into lasting change. 
  • Access to buprenorphine via telemedicine, houselessness, and social determinants of health are among many key policy issues relevant for the care of patients with addiction and substance use disorders.
  • Engagement in professional organizations can provide physicians resources and updates on current health policies at the local, state, and national level.​
  • Learning scripts for advocacy, similar to learning scripts for patient communications, are small learnings that physicians and trainees can bring to their advocacy work. 
  • Connecting with community organizations can be an easy way to engage in local advocacy: as a physician, start by asking, “How can I help?”

​The conversation continues on Twitter with the #PTBGIM. For this episode, be sure to tag @theDEIShift @OregonACP. Tell us why you’re #ProudToBeGIM and share your perspectives, experiences, or tips on how becoming a physician advocate is a valuable skillset as a general internal medicine specialist.
