Today's episode, with Dr. Candice Chen, is about a new framework for health worker and first responder distress developed by the Workplace Change Collaborative through a federal grant. The WCC, which includes George Washington University, Moral Injury of Healthcare, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, and the American Federation of Teachers union, thought it was critical to expand the work on distress and its solutions to include moral injury. We talk through the background of the WCC, the framework, and next steps.

On this episode, we’re talking about debt collection in American medicine. Lightly paraphrasing today’s guest: ‘The source of much disillusion in medicine is the fundamental tension between the widely held ideals and aims of medical care and the market fundamentalism that dominates American life, which leaves those of us who work in health care with a gnawing sense that we are being drawn away from our raison d’etre.’

Luke Messac, MD, PhD, is an emergency physician and historian at Mass General Brigham in Boston and an instructor at Harvard Medical School. He is the author of Your Money or Your Life, just released by Oxford University Press, on November 1 of 2023.
