S1 Ep2: Putting Indigenous cultural safety into practice: "The first step is admitting we have a problem with racism."

Season 1 · Episode 2

Wednesday, January 13, 2021 • Duration 49:57

Amidst disturbing allegations of anti-Indigenous racism in BC’s health care system, the government appointed Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond to independently conduct a review. The findings were clear: Indigenous people are continually subjected to widespread, systemic racism which often results in negative experiences at the point of care, inequitable medical treatment, physical harm, and even death. In this episode of DocTalks, we will speak to Indigenous family physician, Dr Terri Aldred, and Indigenous Cultural Safety Coordinator and Consultant, Len Pierre, about how we can define and understand cultural safety and the complexities of addressing this systemic problem. What steps can doctors and health care workers take to begin or continue the journey to address racism, both on an individual level and at a system-wide level? How can we measure our progress going forward?

S2 Ep3: Emergency preparedness: Tips from the front line

Season 2 · Episode 3

Friday, August 12, 2022 • Duration 19:30

In this episode of DocTalks, we speak to Dr Aseem Grover, rural family physician and the Site Medical Director of the Fraser Canyon Hospital in Hope, BC, who recalls his harrowing experiences and lessons learned in providing emergency care through wide-ranging wildfires and unprecedented flooding last year.
With continued heatwaves and record temperatures, it’s anticipated BC will continue to experience wildfires in parts of the province again this summer. In addition to the threats these fires present to residents and their homes, they are also a major disruption for practicing physicians. While they are personally impacted by the fires, they also need to provide care for their patients.
Dr Grover shares his experiences in navigating a wide array of successes and challenges as he and his team worked to provide continued care to patients in the community and beyond. Using this unique insight, he describes how doctors can proactively plan to safeguard their practice in an emergency.

S2 Ep2: Vodcast: ACEs and high-conflict separation and divorce

Season 2 · Episode 2

Tuesday, June 7, 2022 • Duration 56:48

In this first episode of our new DocTalks vodcast, Doctors of BC President Dr Ramneek Dosanjh hosts a roundtable discussion that gives viewers insight into Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and high-conflict separation and divorce and what doctors and lawyers need to know to best support families experiencing it. It also speaks to the cross-sectoral allyship between doctors and lawyers to raise awareness of ACEs and how they can work together to promote the well-being of their patients and clients.
Brain science tells us that ACEs are a significant public health issue because they can cause toxic stress that impacts the immediate, long-term, and intergenerational mental and physical health of children and youth. Family justice issues often involve one or more ACE. Acting collaboratively to reduce toxic stress and support families experiencing family justice issues will mitigate the negative impact and promote family well-being.
In this episode Dr Dosanjh speaks to guests, Dr Linda Uyeda, a family doctor, Linda Hamilton QC, the President of the Law Society of BC, and Jane Morley, QC, from Access to Justice BC.

S2 Ep1: Physical and online violence: How to protect yourself

Season 2 · Episode 1

Wednesday, May 18, 2022 • Duration 10:25

On the first podcast episode of DocTalks Season Two, we speak to experts Julie Jones and Carl Prophet about how doctors can optimize their physical and online safety. We’re hearing more and more reports of violent threats—either physical, verbal, or digital—directed towards physicians, triggered specifically by tension created by the COVID-19 pandemic.
These events have incited many individuals and organizations to increase awareness, advocacy, and support for doctors in the face of this rise in violence. A statement issued from the Canadian Medical Association this past September even stated that, “It has never been more important to stand with our health care colleagues and deplore all online or in-person threats.”
The key to prevention is perception; understanding key vulnerabilities and how physical violence escalates can enhance personal safety and even deter violent threats, both in person and online.
Guests Carl Prophet and Julie Jones, who are experts in the field of personal and online security, speak to the current political climate and its effect on violence for BC doctors. They share how through prevention planning and informed response strategies, doctors can equip themselves with a plan and the tools to increase personal and cyber security.
Carl and Julie are currently leading live webinars, hosted by Doctors of BC’s new program Business Pathways, where doctors can learn even more about this topic and participate in a live Q&A session. More webinar dates will be announced soon, but a recording of a past webinar and a downloadable tip sheet which summarizes the key takeaways are available now.

S1 Ep5: How understanding ACEs can change the way you practice

Season 1 · Episode 5

Wednesday, June 23, 2021 • Duration 24:49

With the added stressors placed on children, youth, and families by the COVID-19 pandemic, more attention has been focused on the adverse impact on the mental health and wellness of our young people. Protecting and mitigating the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) has been a prime concern for many physicians. But there’s a long way to go to educate and build skills to mitigate ACEs, and to ensure supports are implemented to prevent them from occurring in the first place.
Dr Uyeda is a member of a Child and Youth Mental Health Community of Practice involving 270 physicians who work to improve care for BC’s children youth and families. She continues to educate parents, counsellors, teachers, and physicians with her research and findings.
