This course introduces the principles, processes, and tools necessary to analyze markets, including customers, competitors, and companies (the 3 Cs), and to design optimal marketing programs via strategies for pricing, promotion, place, and product (the 4 Ps). This course will apply these frameworks to the specific context of health care markets. This course will then extend these frameworks to the complex arena of patient engagement using insights from core marketing science and behavioral economics. Prerequisites: Must have active enrollment within the Master of Clinical Informatics Management program.

Firearms ownership is a cultural phenomenon unique to the United States. In the US, there are 120 guns per 100 residents with over 40% of individuals, 34% of children, living in households with guns. Unfortunately, in the US, firearms are one of the leading causes of death in young adults and children; two thirds of these deaths are suicides and one third homicides. In this course, we will explore how physicians can play an important role in preventing these injuries and deaths. Topics covered will include: The history and culture of firearms ownership in the US, The epidemiology of firearms injuries, Types of firearms, and their uses, The injuries firearms produce and their economic costs, The psychological impact of firearms injury, Public health approaches to preventing firearms injuries, Laws governing physicians and firearms, Talking to patients to prevent gun injuries: safe storage, firearms removal and hospital interventions, As an elective part of the course, we will deliver a gun shop to learn about types of guns, gun locks and storage devices

Recent advances in health technologies - incorporating innovations like robotics, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and smart sensors - have raised expectations of a dramatic impact on health outcomes across the world. However, bringing innovative technologies to low-resource settings has proven challenging, limiting their impact. Ironically, the COVID-19 pandemic became Exhibit 1 in the challenges the global health community faces in scaling innovative interventions. This course explores critical questions regarding the implementation and impact of technological innovations in low-resource settings. The course will feature thought leaders from the health technology community, who will explore examples of technologies that have been successful in low-resource communities, as well as those that have failed. A subset of these examples will be drawn from the current pandemic. Students will think critically to consider conditions under which technologies reach scale and have a positive impact on the global health field. Students will also have an opportunity to work on real-world projects, each of which will focus on the potential opportunity for health technology in a low-resource setting and consider approaches to ensure its impact at scale. This course will be taught by Dr. Anurag Mairal, Adjunct Professor of Medicine and the Director, Global Outreach Programs at Stanford Byers Center for Biodesign, Dr. Krista Donaldson, Director of Innovation to Impact at Stanford Byers Center for Biodesign, and Dr. Michele Barry, Senior Associate Dean for Global Health and Director of the Center for Innovation in Global Health. This course is open to undergraduate students, graduate students, and medical students. Students can take the course for two or three units.

Burnout- defined as emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and apathy toward one's work - is endemic in medicine. There is evidence that a significant cause of burnout is a loss of connection to deeper values. This course will help students identify and articulate their own ethical, cognitive, and humanistic impulses for entering the profession of medicine. Through lectures, discussions, small group reflections, and role-plays, students will develop skills that will allow them to nourish a connection to their values throughout their clinical training and into practice. Specific topics covered will include: honoring priorities outside of medicine, appropriate self-care, managing difficult medical encounters, and grappling with suffering as an inevitable part of clinical practice.
