  • Understanding Anterior Knee Pain - Dr. John Fulkerson of the Patellofemoral Foundation and Yale University
    Early in his career as an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. John Fulkerson was attracted to focusing on a small part of the knee called the patellofemoral joint because he felt it was overlooked and little understood. Decades later, there is still much to be learned and he’s leading a new program at Yale to advance the understanding of anterior knee pain and how to treat it. It’s actually a common problem in the general population and is responsible for more than 30% of complaints at sports medicine clinics. Despite this, many people never get relief. Check out today’s episode to learn more about this issue, the role of technology in orthopedic surgery, and the importance of perseverance, integrity and honesty in medicine.

  • Innovation in Nursing Education - Dr. Joan Rich & Dr. John Smith-Coppes, Rasmussen University
    There's a reason why nursing is typically the most trusted profession in the world, says Dr. John Smith-Coppes, Vice President and Executive Director of Nursing at Rasmussen University
    It has to do with a genuine desire to serve others. Smith-Coppes and his colleague Dr. Joan Rich, Vice President of Nursing, are doing everything they can to sustain that trust. The goal of their nursing program at Rasmussen University is to turn out the very best, most competent nurses, no matter what the circumstances. In this episode of Raise the Line, Rich and Smith-Coppes share how they embrace innovation and find solutions in face of the challenges posed by COVID-19. Tune in to learn more about the broad range of programs that Rasmussen offers, with paths of all kinds for people with different needs and seeking different degrees and certifications, from LPN through DNP. Jannah Amiel, RN, facilitates as Rich provides a public health perspective and Smith-Coppes an operations perspective on the state of the healthcare system today, a unique time when there is at once a nursing shortage as well as renewed interest in the field.

  • Leveraging Facebook's Reach to Improve Health – Kang-Xing Jin, Head of Health at Facebook
    To create behavior change, like getting people to wear masks, it's not enough just to give people information, you also need to communicate that information effectively. Facebook's Kang-Xing Jin -- who espouses an interdisciplinary approach across public health, communication, behavioral science, and technology -- believes that Facebook is uniquely positioned to have positive social impact, including in the sphere of public health. In this episode of Raise the Line, he speaks with Shiv Gaglani about his work and career, including how Facebook Health has helped spur blood and organ donations, and how his team has shifted priorities in response to the COVID-19 crisis. Tune in to learn about the data tools such as large-scale surveys that Facebook has been providing to health experts, policymakers, and researchers to help them understand symptom trends and make better decisions. Jin also shares his belief that the crisis has brought about more cross-sector collaboration and sharing of perspectives, something he hopes will continue after the COVID threat has subsided.
