Addressing the Challenges of Cognitive Decline in the Physician Workforce
Full text linkThis book chapter examines the growing challenge of cognitive decline among aging physicians and analyzes various approaches to addressing it. In 2024, twenty percent of working physicians were sixty-five or older, and evidence suggests that 12-14% of older clinicians have cognitive deficits that may affect job performance. The chapter evaluates two primary approaches to cognitive assessment: employer-initiated programs and programs operated by state medical boards. Employer late career practitioner policies (LCPP) that require older physicians to undergo testing are becoming increasingly popular among health care organizations. But they are vulnerable to challenge under disability and age discrimination laws, as evidenced by an ongoing Equal Employment Opportunity Commission lawsuit against Yale New Haven Hospital. Consequently, state medical boards are likely better positioned to implement cognitive assessment requirements. The chapter provides specific recommendations for both employer- based and state board testing programs. It emphasizes the importance of using validated assessment tools, providing due process, and offering reasonable accommodations when possible. The problem of unidentified cognitive decline among physicians has been characterized as a looming public health crisis of aging physicians. It can no longer be ignored and requires urgent and thoughtful interventions

No full textWe Refuse: A Forceful History of Black Resistance
No full textThe 2026 Maya Angelou and Professor Calvin Sharpe Distinguished LectureBlack resistance to white supremacy is often reduced to a simple binary, between Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s nonviolence and Malcolm X’s “by any means necessary.” In her lecture, We Refuse, historian Kellie Carter Jackson looks beyond this false choice, offering an unflinching examination of the breadth of Black responses to white oppression, particularly those pioneered by Black women, with emphasis on gun ownership. The dismissal of “Black violence” as an illegitimate form of resistance is itself a manifestation of white supremacy. Force—from work stoppages and property destruction to armed revolt—has played a pivotal part in securing freedom and justice for Black people for centuries. But force is only one tool among many. Carter Jackson examines other, no less vital tactics that have shaped the Black struggle, from the restorative power of finding joy in the face of suffering to the quiet strength of simply walking away. This lecture will provide a deeper historical insight and understanding of how power, violence, and state authority shape legal and social outcomes
Global Public Health Law: A Transdisciplinary Approach
No full textThis is an in-person event for students only. Anyone else can attend virtually by registering. CLE credit available for virtual attendance.
As traditionally conceived, public health law focuses primarily on what lawyers do—counseling public health agencies and litigating disputes. By contrast, the transdisciplinary model of public health law seeks to connect lawyers, scientists, public health practitioners, and others in a shared effort to (a) understand and quantify the critical (yet often unseen) role that law plays in shaping population health, and (b) develop, advocate for, implement, and evaluate evidence-based legal interventions to prevent disease and reduce injuries. This presentation will discuss a forthcoming book Professor Berman is co-authoring that connects this transdisciplinary approach to Global Public Health Law. As the book defines it, Global Public Health Law is the use of the law as a tool to protect and advance population health in jurisdictions around the globe—encompassing everything from local laws to international agreements. Using a wide range of public health topics as examples, the book examines how laws and institutions at the local, national, regional, and international levels intersect and influence one another, and how they ultimately contribute (positively or negatively) to health outcome
Taxation and Animal Welfare
No full textPolicymakers have promoted animal welfare through taxation since at least the late nineteenth century, when New York imposed a tax on dogs and earmarked the proceeds for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. In recent years, scholars have suggested new ways to deploy tax tools to improve animal welfare. This lecture surveys the history of animal welfare-related tax provisions, analyzes recent reform proposals, and identifies additional tax mechanisms that could help reduce the cruelty humans inflict on fellow members of the animal kingdom

A Theory of Trust in Institutions
