Evaluating the Role of Competency-Based Behavioral Interviewing in Holistic Medical School Admissions
Indigenous Activism Through the Art of Cartooning
The Social Mission Committee
One of the most fundamental purposes of medical education is to train future physicians in how to best care for the sick. 1 In response to national unrest, medical schools are being increasingly called to incorporate social determinants of health into their curriculum to best provide comprehensive, informed care. 2 Traditionally, medical schools often fail to emphasize social medicine within their school processes. We propose a student-driven app…
Embedding Learning in a Learning Health Care System to Improve Clinical Practice
PROBLEM: In an ideal learning health care system (LHS), clinicians learn from what they do and do what they learn, closing the evidence-to-practice gap. In operationalizing an LHS, great strides have been made in knowledge generation. Yet, considerable challenges remain to the broad uptake of identified best practices. To bridge the gap from generating actionable knowledge to applying that knowledge in clinical practice, and ultimately to improvi…
The Deliberate Practice of Caring
Sallie could not forget her patient, a 10-month-old baby admitted with tetralogy of Fallot. A year later, she presented the case to her classmates, not to unravel the mystery of cardiac anomalies, but to probe a far more complicated mystery: why congenital heart disease is deadlier for Black babies than White babies. I listened quietly, ostensibly the teacher, disturbed by the story but proud of Sallie for telling it. She was becoming an expert i…
The Nature of the Future
Emily Pawley's The Nature of the Future is a provocative and engaging study of the effects of capitalism on Northern agrarian society, looking specifically at New York State from the 1830s to the 1850s. Pawley persuasively shows that agricultural innovations during this period established “the foundation for the practices that shape the modern landscape,” despite the social discord and economic volatility that these changes engendered (218). This…
Food on display
This article examines how displays in the Food Zone of the New York World’s Fair (1939–40) represented the future of food production, preparation, and consumption through the spectacular frameworks of art/aesthetics, performance, gastronomy, and scientific innovation. Industrial designer Russel Wright constructed the main thematic exhibit of the Food Zone, the Focal Exhibit. Bringing his experience as a stage designer to the project, he sought to…
Special issue introduction
This special issue of Food, Culture & Society examines how fairs and expositions–at local, regional, national, and international levels–have reflected and shaped perceptions of food production, marketing, and consumption for mass audiences. It will consider the perspectives of fair organizers, publicists, exhibitors, concessionaires, restaurateurs, and participants in constructing and experiencing the diversity of food cultures on the fairgrounds…
Imperial Islands
When the USS Maine mysteriously exploded in Havana's harbor on February 15, 1898, the United States joined local rebel forces to avenge the Maine and "liberate" Cuba from the Spanish empire. "Remember the Maine! To Hell with Spain!" so went the popular slogan. Little did the Cubans know that the United States was not going to give them freedom-in less than a year the American flag replaced the Spanish flag over the various island colonies of Cuba…
The Vanderbilt Program in Interprofessional Learning
PROBLEM: Designing and sustaining a longitudinal, clinic-based interprofessional learning experience is logistically challenging, which has limited the educational opportunities available in health professions schools. The authors discuss the Vanderbilt Program in Interprofessional Learning (VPIL), which addresses some of the challenges facing clinic-based interprofessional experiences. APPROACH: VPIL places first- and second-year students from 4…
Migrant Marketplaces
Elizabeth Zanoni's Migrant Marketplaces offers a fascinating and nuanced account of the historical formation of Italian migrant marketplaces in New York City and Buenos Aires. Her cogent comparative analysis of the migrant marketplaces in both cities parses out important diasporic differences affecting consumption practices. Zanoni bases her analysis on a thorough reading of the commercial press in New York City and Buenos Aires along with the pu…
Race and Region
This brief history of U.S. rice consumption from 1680 to 1960 traces the influences of race and region in shaping the prevalence of rice in certain communities over others. It examines the earliest cuisines that significantly integrated rice into the diet, in the Carolina Lowcountry and Cajun Louisiana during the colonial era and in the annexed Mexican territories of the Southwest and Asian communities of the West Coast in the nineteenth century.…
The Pictures are Better on Radio’
This essay takes a sensory approach to the study of radio listening by looking at American radio dramas of the 1920s through the 1950s. Analysis of radio writing handbooks, fan magazines, publicity and radio content from the period will show that radio producers, writers and actors conceptualised the art of radio listening as acutely visual, despite its auditory format. The medium invited the listener to participate actively in the visualisation …
Fostering the Development of Master Adaptive Learners
Change is ubiquitous in health care, making continuous adaptation necessary for clinicians to provide the best possible care to their patients. The authors propose that developing the capabilities of a Master Adaptive Learner will provide future physicians with strategies for learning in the health care environment and for managing change more effectively. The concept of a Master Adaptive Learner describes a metacognitive approach to learning bas…
How Should Resident Physicians Respond to Patients' Discomfort and Students' Moral Distress When Learning Procedures in Academic Medical Settings
In this scenario, a medical student, Lauren, experiences moral distress because she feels that learning to perform a procedure on a patient who requested not to be used for "practice" puts her own interests above the patient's. Lauren might also worry that the resident physician is misrepresenting her abilities. The resident physician could help alleviate Lauren's distress and align her interests with the patient's by more clearly explaining the …
When Women “Snap”
Media depictions play an important role in the cultivation and perpetuation of social stigmas surrounding mental illness. Through a critical textual analysis of female perpetrators of violence in three examples drawn from diverse media forms, we explore how depictions from very different genres help to map key themes in a broader popular discourse framing violence committed by women as a consequence of mental illness. The mental health frames we …
Liberty and American Anti-imperialism, 1898-1909
In a concisely written and accessible book, Michael Patrick Cullinane offers a fresh perspective on the anti-imperialist movement that peaked at the turn of the last century. In recounting the debates surrounding the 1898 Treaty of Paris (ending the Spanish-American War) and the subsequent election of 1900, he situates the rise of the movement within a long historical trajectory. He argues that anti-imperialist sentiment in 1898 was rooted in ear…

Teaching intercultural awareness to first‐year medical students via experiential exercises
This study assessed the extent to which a one‐time experiential intervention improved intercultural awareness and sensitivity among first‐year medical students. The students participated in group activities in which they shared personal experiences, solved a hypothetical problem, and engaged in team building exercises. Post‐intervention, students reported less intercultural awareness, but a greater commitment to improving the intercultural climat…
