Episode 26: "Teaching Tomorrow's Healthcare Leaders: Early Conversations, Big Impact"
About this episode
This episode explores how conversations with students can shape future patient care through innovative educational approaches.
What if the conversations we have with students today could shape the care patients receive tomorrow? In this episode, we explore a creative adaptation of clinician outreach education—bringing the academic detailing model into the classroom to reach future clinicians before they enter practice. Through open, real-world conversations about overdose prevention, stigma, and patient-centered care, students begin building skills and perspectives they’ll carry into the field. Tune in to unpack the opportunities and challenges of this approach, including measuring long-term impact, maintaining connections over time, and tailoring content across disciplines to meet the needs of medical, nursing, and pharmacy students. Guest: Susan Fithen, MSW, LSW, OCPSA, Senior Community Outreach Coordinator, Hamilton County Public Health If you would like to connect with Susan about her work, feel free to reach out to her at susan.fithen@hamiltoncountyohio.gov .
