New Normal: How Healthcare Systems Impact Practitioner Distress, with Dr. Martin A. Koyle

Season 3, Ep. 14
•

What can be done when healthcare leaders say that they simply can't work anymore? On The "New Normal" podcast series, Dr. Martin A. Koyle, Former Chief of the Division of Urology at The Hospital for Sick Children, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Surgery and the Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation at the University of Toronto, and a graduate of Desautels’ International Masters in Health Leadership, joins journalist Dave Kaufman to examine how the Canadian healthcare system today is limiting the success of medical practitioners. How does this complex system contribute to the extreme mental duress that medical practitioners face—duress that the COVID-19 pandemic has made more acute? Dr. Koyle also discusses what is being done to break the stigma around burnout, encourage healthcare leadership by physicians, and give those in the medical system the best opportunity to do no harm.

Delve’s The "New Normal" podcast series is a collaboration between journalist Dave Kaufman and Delve, the official thought leadership platform of McGill University’s Desautels Faculty of Management. The “New Normal” is produced by Delve and Dave Kaufman, with audio engineering by David Rawalia.

  • 5. For Specialty Medications, Science is the Best Marketing

    24:55||Season 5, Ep. 5
    Demetrios Vakratsas is a Professor of Marketing at the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University. In a recent study, he found that physicians use scientific evidence to learn about new specialty drugs, rather than consulting traditional marketing materials.They don’t need brochures. They don’t look at ads. Instead, specialists participate in word-of-mouth marketing to learn about drugs that could help their patients. So what does this mean for marketers in the pharmaceutical sector? And how does this affect the delivery of care for patients with rare diseases?Professor Vakratsas shares his insights on this episode of the McGill Delve podcast.-Visit our homepage and subscribe to our newsletter: delve.mcgill.caRead Professor Vakratras' study: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00222429231177627YouTube: @McGillDelveInstagram: McGillDelveFacebook: DelveMcGillLinkedIn: McGillDelve-McGill Delve is the official thought leadership platform of McGill University’s Desautels Faculty of Management.
