The launch of the Iowa Neuroscience Institute, increased external funding, and a new strategic plan position us well to continue our leadership role in biomedical discovery for Iowa and the world.
How to implement a Candor program and the mechanics of successful discussions will be the focus of a Candor conference in Des Moines this fall.
Write down the last two digits of your social security number. Now write down the maximum amount you would pay for a cordless keyboard. Surprisingly, studies have repeatedly shown that individuals who write down relatively high social security numbers are willing to pay up to 2-3 times more on average than individuals who write down relatively low social security numbers.1 The consistent results of this experiment testify to the power of cognitive biases and demonstrate how the decision-making of both patients and physicians can go awry.
In August I had the opportunity to attend a meeting in Des Moines entitled, Iowa Opiate Abuse and Heroin Addiction: A Community Crisis Summit. This summit brought together stakeholders, subject matter experts, state officials, and people personally impacted by the opioid epidemic for a meaningful discussion about the problem and the next steps we can take to thwart the evolving public health crisis and growing number of personal tragedies. The meeting, sponsored by the Drake University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences and the US Attorney's Offices for the Northern and Southern Districts of Iowa, was both sobering and enlightening.
