This week Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) launched Vanderbilt Health DNA: Discoveries in Action, an original podcast series exploring the issues and scientific advancements shaping health, medicine and society.
The 10-episode podcast series will uncover breakthroughs happening at Vanderbilt Health and dig deeper into innovative ideas from more than 30 of VUMC’s most visionary thinkers. Episodes will investigate topics such as the importance of combating unconscious bias in modern workplaces and communities; the cutting-edge science and philosophy behind neurosurgery; how technology can sync with patients and providers to more efficiently serve both; and the quest to eradicate and contain fast-moving infectious diseases such as COVID-19.
"This is a pivotal time for medicine and science where people are looking for expertise and hope regarding the way forward," said Jeff Balser, MD, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of VUMC and Dean of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. "The podcast series provides insights that are grounded in the latest research and, perhaps most importantly, demonstrates the passion of our experts behind this work."
The first episode, "The Futurist: Your Life, Your Health, Your Care," explores how COVID-19 adds a new dimension to personalized care. Dr. Balser is joined by Consuelo Wilkins, MD, MSCI, vice president and Associate Dean for Health Equity, and Bonnie Miller, MD, MMHC, former Executive Vice President for Educational Affairs and Senior Associate Dean for Health Sciences Education, to imagine a future in which learning and caring are integral to health.
