Virtual Patient Engagement:
Lessons from the Cystic Fibrosis Community

This talk reviews one experience in building an effective virtual patient engagement project, a method that has become increasingly in demand in patient-centered outcomes research due to COVID-19.  In the past four years, the work of the Cystic Fibrosis Reproductive and Sexual Health Collaborative (CFReSHC) has resulted in robust patient drive research generation and a resource tool designed to help facilitate providers and patient communication in chronic care adult clinics about issues relating to sexual and reproductive health. The talk will review some of the components of the established model, the challenges of virtual patient engagement, and CFReSHC’s current work on developing its model further for other disease communities. The presentation will help us think about how to create mechanisms to enable impactful and meaningful patient centered outcomes research.

Context and Conversation on Just Mercy: 
Approaches from Medical Humanities and Bioethics

What can Just Mercy – this year’s One Book/One Northwestern selection – bring to thinking about problems in medicine? And what might thinking from medicine bring to engaging with Just Mercy and its examination of systemic racism in our criminal justice system?  Come join the MHB faculty and community as we extend the campus-wide conversation around Bryan Stevenson’s memoir to explore the relationship between medicine and justice. Whether you have read the book, seen the 2019 film, or just heard enough to be curious, we will offer different possible routes into the text – drawing on disciplines such as history, law, and literature to provide points of departure – and create space for lively discussion.
