  • Recommended Principles to Guide Academy-Industry Relationships
    Recommended Principles to Guide Academy-Industry Relationships Purpose: To sustain and protect academic freedom, academic professionalism, research integrity, and public trust. Dedicated to the memory of Victor J. Stone (AAUP President, 1982–84), University of Illinois College of Law AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS Distributed by the University of Illinois Press To impart the results of their own and their fellow specialists’ investigations and reflection, both to students and to the general public, without fear or favor . requires (among other things) that the university teacher shall be exempt from any pecuniary motive or inducement to hold, or to express, any conclusion which is not the genuine and uncolored product of his own study or that of fellow specialists. Indeed, the proper fulfillment of the work of the professoriate requires that our universities shall be so free that no fair- minded person shall find any excuse for even a suspicion that the utterances of university teachers are shaped or restricted by the judgment, not of profes- sional scholars, but of inexpert and possibly not wholly disinterested persons outside of their own ranks. To the degree that professional scholars, in the formation and promulgation of their opinions, are, or by the character of their tenure appear to be, subject to any motive other than their own sci- entific conscience and a desire for the respect of their fellow experts, to that degree the university teaching profession is corrupted; its proper influence upon public opinion is diminished, and vitiated; and society at large fails to get from its scholars, in an unadulterated form, the peculiar and necessary service which it is the office of the professional scholar to furnish.

  • American Osler Society
    49th Annual Meeting of the American Osler Society Sir William Osler, quoting Leigh Hunt, “Abou Ben Adhem” Sunday, May 12th – Wednesday May 15th, 2019 Hotel Omni Mont-Royal Montréal, Canada Hotel Omni Mont-Royal 49th Annual Meeting of the AMERICAN OSLER SOCIETY Sunday, May 12th – Wednesday, May 15th, 2019 Hotel Omni Mont-Royal Montréal, Canada Credit: Karen Koshof The Osler Niche contains the ashes of Sir William Osler and Lady Osler, as well as those of Osler’s dear cousin and first Librarian of the Osler Library, W.W. Francis. The Niche was designed with Osler’s wishes in mind. Its realization was not far off the vision imagined by Osler’s alter ego Egerton Yorrick Davis in “Burrowings of a Bookworm”: I like to think of my few books in an alcove of a fire-proof library in some institution that I love; at the end of the alcove an open fire-place and a few easy chairs, and on the mantelpiece an urn with my ashes and my bust or portrait through which my astral self, like the Bishop at St. Praxed’s, could peek at the books I have loved, and enjoy the delight with which kindred souls still in the flesh would handle them. Course Objectives Upon conclusion of this program, participants should be able to: Describe new research findings in the history of medicine. Outline the evolution of medicine in a particular disease. List professional contributions made by others in medicine. Intended Audience The target audience includes physicians and others interested in Osler, medical history and any of the medically oriented humanities who research and write on a range of issues.

Stahnisch (Guest Editor)1 Abstract: The processes of long-term migration of physicians and scholars affect both the academic migrants and their receiving environments in often dramatic ways. On the one side, their encounter confronts two different knowledge traditions and personal values. On the other side, migrating scientists and academics are also confronted with foreign institutional, political, economic, and cultural frameworks when trying to establish their own ways of professional knowledge and cultural adjustments. The twentieth century has been called the century of war and forced migration: it witnessed two devastating World Wars, which led to an exodus of physicians, scientists, and academics. Nazism and Fascism in the 1930s and 1940s, forced thousands of scientists and physicians away from their home institutions based in Central and Eastern Europe.

She channeled her grief into fierce determination to help others by educating them about suicide prevention. Angela presented our Talk Saves Lives™ program to her local high school in South Dakota.

  • Personalized Medicine in Psychiatry
    PERSONALIZED MEDICINE IN PSYCHIATRY AUTHOR INFORMATION PACK TABLE OF CONTENTS XXX . • Description p.1 • Editorial Board p.2 • Guide for Authors p.4 ISSN: 2468-1717 DESCRIPTION . Personalized Medicine in Psychiatry provides a home for basic and clinical investigators, neuroscientists, psychiatrists, psychologists, residents, and medical and graduate students to publish high quality research papers, reviews, new ideas and perspectives, debates, case reports, applied technologies that contribute towards advancing our basic, clinical and therapeutic knowledge of personalized medicine in psychiatry. Personalized medicine in psychiatry seeks to identify factors that contribute to vulnerability to psychiatric disorders and accuracy of diagnosis as well as the major goal of increasing efficacy of therapeutic interventions and decreasing adverse effects by considering the individual characteristics of each patient (e.g. genetics and epigenetics, physiological, endocrinological, psychological, brain imaging and medical comorbidity). Personalized medicine in psychiatry encompasses both which individual should receive what specific type of treatment based on personalized measures, and also identifies those at risk, thereby reducing long-term costs of mental health as well as morbidity. The journal fills a broad void encompassing studies of endophenotypes and biological markers, pharmacological and psychotherapeutic approaches, educational and rehabilitation concerns, and environmental and behavioral, psychological and social research, all with the
