She holds a Ph.D. in philosophy\, with a specialization in bioethics\, from Michigan State University. Her research focuses primarily on the ethical issues raised by research on human judgment and decision-making (e.g.\, decisional biases and heuristics\, behavioral economics). Dr. Blumenthal-Barby has been the recipient of a prestigious Greenwall Faculty Scholar Award in Bioethics and a Pfizer Bioethics Fellowship\, and she has served as the Principal Investigator on four awards from the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to study and improve decision making in advanced heart failure.

Godley Health Equity Research Week (HERW) is coming! \nAbout HERW\nHERW\, hosted by the Center for Health Equity Research (CHER)\, brings faculty\, staff\, students and community members together to share health equity research at ºÚÁÏÍø. HERW is an opportunity to facilitate collaboration\, innovation and equity in the ºÚÁÏÍø\, across Carolina’s communities and beyond. All sessions are open to the entire Carolina community and the general public. \nIn 2020\, the ºÚÁÏÍø collaborated with CHER to host the first Paul A. Godley Health Equity Symposium. In 2023\, the symposium expanded into a week dedicated to highlighting health equity research at Carolina. HERW 2025 will include research presentations\, panel discussions and more. \nNew this year\, we’re excited to announce the Ada Adimora Student Research Award!

SUMMARY:Population Genomic Screening: From Biobank Return of Results to a Clinical Screening Pilot
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, May 6\, 2025\n12:00 – 1:00 pm ET\n\n\nLocation: Webinar: Registration Required\n\nJuliann Savatt\, MS\, CGC\n\nAssistant Professor\, Genomic Health\, Geisinger\nCo-director\, Geisinger MyCode Genomic Screening and Counseling Program \nPlease register to attend. https://go.unc.edu/jsavatt \nCurrently\, identification of individuals with genomic risk remains largely dependent on clinical testing that relies on a personal/family history of disease and\, access to specialty care. However\, some patients with suggestive history do not come to clinical attention. Also\, testing criteria are not adequately sensitive to identify all at-risk patients. Genomic screening offers a strategy to close the gap and identify more at-risk patients thus enabling increased surveillance\, primary prevention\, and early diagnoses. \nGeisinger has over 10 years of experience screening and disclosing actionable genomic findings to biobank participants and has expanded genomic screening into clinical care through a primary care pilot. This presentation will summarize these experiences to date including the rate of pathogenic/likely pathogenic results\, clinical care and outcomes following results disclosure\, and patient and clinician perspectives.

SUMMARY:Hybrid Event | Comparing Patient and Physician Attitudes About Applications of AI in Healthcare
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, May 6\n4:00—5:00pm ET\nRoper Hall 6310 or via Zoom\nPresented by Richard Sharp\, Ph.D.\nLloyd A. and Barbara A. Amundson Professor of Biomedical Ethics and Professor of Medicine\, Mayo Clinic\nDirector of the Biomedical Ethics Program\, the Center for Individualized Medicine Bioethics Program\, and the Clinical and Translational Research Ethics Program \nWhile artificial intelligence appears ready to transform multiple aspects of healthcare\, studies examining physician and patient opinions about digital-health tools have been limited. This presentation will explore physician and patient perspectives on the ethical issues raised by potential uses of AI in medicine\, focusing on areas where doctor and patient perspectives may not be in alignment and could generate ethical tensions. \nDr. Sharp has published widely on topics in biomedical ethics and has led several projects exploring patient and clinician perspectives on emerging healthcare technologies. His presentation will focus on stakeholder perspectives on several applications of AI in healthcare\, including in psychiatry and medical documentation. He will also discuss what leaders of Academic Medical Centers might do to proactively cultivate a culture of AI safety and ethical accountability. \nPlease register to attend. https://go.unc.edu/sharp
